'Power picnics' are perfect for summer — but you have to follow five rules
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more There's something about British summer that flips a switch in us. Before you know it, you're down at the local park with Tupperware containers of M&S picky bits, a gingham blanket and a lukewarm bottle of rosé. But, let's be honest, the British picnic is a slippery slope; shirts get unbuttoned, drinks get poured too early and a few hours later you wake up, face down on a tranche of melted camembert. Apparently… That's why the 'Power Picnic' could be the perfect solution to our collective alfresco chaos. This is a term I'm coining to describe al fresco eating and drinking that doesn't end in a blackout on the blanket. A picnic experience where flavour is at the forefront and the drinks are there to enhance, not derail your outdoor lunch. The 'power' in the name refers to the energy and focus you still have at the end of it, in case you're wondering. And with National Picnic Week right around the corner (June 14 to 21), this couldn't have come at a better time. You see, the idea of a power picnic ties in with people generally drinking less these days. In fact, a recent report by KAM Insights showed that all age groups under 55 are drinking alcohol less frequently, and 70% of 25 to 34-year-olds are actively looking for ways to lower their alcohol consumption. I'm not suggesting ditching booze completely for adaptogenic beverages, kombucha and botanical beers, we're not weaving our own picnic basket over here. We're simply switching getting squiffy for naturally lower-ABV wines, mid-strength drinks alongside sharing platters and salads. Another term for this is 'coasting'; drinking lower abv drinks for longer periods of time than, say, zebra striping or bookending. After all, no one wants to lose half the day passed out, face-down on melted cheese. I learnt that the hard way… To avoid following in my footsteps, there are five rules of Power Picnic you'll want to adhere to, so you won't have to cancel your evening plans, apologise in group chats or spend £40 on Deliveroo when you get home because you neglected to eat carbs at lunch time. Don't talk about power picnic. No, sorry that's Fight Club. The first rule is actually to bring along wines that are naturally lighter in alcohol like prosecco-adjacent sparkling wines, spritzy Vinho Verde white wines or lighter reds, languishing in an ice bucket. Get clued up on mid-strength drinks – there's a whole category out there you probably haven't checked out yet. That'll be beers and ciders around the 2-3% mark, wines at 6-9% and spirits between 15-20% Become acquainted with spritzes; bring along a dinky bottle of vermouth, soda water and some ready-sliced citrus slices. It's simple, refreshing and delicious Don't be afraid of zero-alcohol drink options, they can be delicious – the likes of Pentire, Botivo, Bolle drinks are some of my favourites Canned drinks are crucial – they're eco-friendly, easier to transport and the quality is usually on point And here are a few drinks options that would be perfect for your next power picnic… Limited Editon Fairtrade Irresistible Tilimuqui Sparkling Brut 10.5%, Argentina, £9.50, Co-op This is the first Fairtrade certified Argentine sparkling wine in the UK. It's made from the darling of Argentine white grapes, Torrontes, grown in the prestigious Famantina Valley. They use the same method of production as prosecco, for joyous, lemon blossomy bubbles. All that for under a tenner, now that's fair trade for you. Torres de Lapela Vinho Verde 9.5%, Portugal, £5.50, Asda Congratulations are in order, Asda has just been announced as the most awarded supermarket in the prestigious IWC 2025 (International Wine Challenge), scooping a whopping 155 medals for its wines. This rewarding bottle is naturally super light in alcohol and style. Vinho Verde is a humdinger of a white for the Power Picnic, with boat loads of fresh lime and lemon sherbet notes to get stuck into. The Original Small Beer Lager 2.1%, England, £13.20 for 6, Majestic A Great Taste Awards winner, brewed at their south London B-Corp certified brewery. They've also just done a collab with YouTube channel, Sorted Food. Anyhoo, it's brewed with Saaz, Mosaic and Galena hops, if that means anything to you. If it doesn't just know that it's made from sustainably-grown, British barley and is half the units, calories and carbs of a regular lager. Maison Sassy Cidre Rose 3%, £5.65, Waitrose A lighter cidre (you have to spell it the French way), made from 18 varieties of Normandy apples. Both sweet and tart apples for balance, while the pink colour is brought in naturally from red-fleshed apples. Imagine that. The style is mid-way between a sweet and off-dry cidre. And get this, they have a chateau called 'Chateau de Sassy' which is almost the best part. More Trending Botivo Sparkling Botanical Aperitivo can, 0%, £20 per 6 cans, Bottled Botivo is a go-to non-alcoholic option for me whenever I'm taking a break from booze. I love its smooth honey-herb combo with a vivifying kick of apple cider vinegar and its wormwood and gentian base notes. Now, they've released a ready-to-drink canned version, same ingredients with the addition of soda. I find this to be a super satisfying sip, especially when it's well chilled. Al Fresco Red 11%, Spain, £8.50, Co-op View More » Talk about a chillable red, this bottle is a proper fridge-dweller. Produced in Navarra, northeastern Spain, a country which excels in epic value for money wine. This one is the brainchild of a Master of Wine (MW) who used to work for Naked Wines, so he knows what he's doing. Made from Garnacha (Grenache), it's lighter than Pinot Noir with juicy flavours of pomegranate and dragon fruit.

Home Bargains shoppers 'running' for £100 item reduced to £25
Parents are racing to Home Bargains stores for a 'great' £100 item that's been reduced to £25 Home Bargains has impressed parents by reducing a popular £99.99 item to just £24.99. The discount retailer has knocked £75 off the Munchkin Spring 2-in-1 Bouncer and Rocker that parents say they "need" for young children. Shoppers will need to be quick to find the "bargain" that's gone viral on social media. Facebook page Baby Deals UK spotted the offer in stores back in April, and the product is currently out of stock on Home Bargains' website until stocks are replenished. However, a shopper recently spotted the deal in her local store, so shoppers could try their luck at their nearest branch. Sharing the recommendation for parents on TikTok, @emily_campbellx posted a video highlighting the deal earlier this week. She wrote: "Parents run to Home Bargains." Her caption added: "Such a bargain!! If my little one was younger this would've gone straight into my trolley." The product description for the rocker says: "Keep your little one calm and comfy with the Munchkin Spring 2-in-1 Bouncer & Rocker. Designed to soothe, this versatile bouncer and rocker offers 3 recline positions for ultimate comfort. "With one-step assembly, it's quick and easy to set up. The lightweight design makes it simple to move around, and it even folds flat for easy storage. Plus, the machine washable cover and cooling fabric ensure your baby stays comfortable and clean. Perfect for naptime, playtime, or anytime your little one needs a break!" The 2-in-1 product is clearly popular with shoppers. Replying to @emily_campbellx's video, a shopper revealed there weren't any left in her local store. "I was in today didn't have any," read the message. Emily said: "Ahh there was only one in, I can imagine they'll all sell quite quickly." The Facebook post shared by Baby Deals UK also stirred up lots of interest, with shoppers keen to shop the deal. One response read: "I feel a home bargains trip coming on." Another said: "This is what I want." A third fan replied: "We need to go home bargains." A fourth response said: "Worth looking for your house." Someone else commented: "Had this for both boys and was great." Shoppers can locate their nearest Home Bargains store here. Elsewhere, Amazon offers the Munchkin 2-in-1 Spring Baby Bouncer for £49.41, down from £99.99. John Lewis also has the Munchkin Spring 2-in-1 Bouncer & Rocker for £100. Alternatively, Argos offer the well-reviewed Ingenuity Bouncity Bounce Vibrating Deluxe Baby Bouncer for £35. The product description says: "The plush, removable headrest helps keep newborns comfortable. As they grow and begin to kick those legs, baby can create their own steady bounce. "The removable toy bar with 2 toys entertains, while the soothing motion of the vibrating seat helps calm. With an easy-to-clean seat pad and modern fabric design, this bouncy seat will fit right into your home and your family's routine."

Brits are most likely to say ‘yes' to new opportunities at the age of 27
Brits are most likely to say 'yes' to new opportunities at the age of 27, a study has found. Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... A poll of 2,000 adults found 69 per cent admit they 'play it safe' in life, with 39 per cent determined to say 'yes' more often. And the average adult typically turns something down as often as twice a week. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It also emerged just 26 per cent of over 35s feel they are more likely to say yes to opportunities now, than they did 20 years ago. Of those who felt the opposite, being settled into a routine (41 per cent) was considered the biggest barrier, while others blamed life being more complicated now (35 per cent), being too tired (33 per cent) and wanting to plan things in advance (33 per cent). And 59 per cent hope to be less 'afraid' of taking on new challenges in the future. The study was commissioned by Halfords, which is partnering with 'Yes Man', Danny Wallace, to highlight the positive benefits of being open to new experiences this summer. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Danny Wallace said: "Twenty years ago I decided to say 'yes' to whatever came my way… and it led to the best adventures. 'I went places I would never have gone and I met people I'd never have met. I tried new things and made new memories. So, when Halfords asked me to celebrate twenty years by hopping in a car and trying more new stuff, it would have been weird to say no. 'Even though when they asked me if I'd like 'to go sea kayaking', I thought they meant they were just going to take me to 'see kayaking', which would have been a lot easier. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'That said, saying yes more is something we should all try and build into our days. Yes to something different or new. I wholeheartedly support you doing the same this summer.' The study also revealed the top things Brits would like to try for the first time, with mastering a foreign language topping the list (21 per cent). Others would like to skydive or learn a musical instrument (both 15 per cent) or even move abroad (14 per cent). Go to more gigs and concerts (13 per cent), get a tattoo (13 per cent) and run a marathon (12 per cent) also featured in the top 20 list. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Commissioned via OnePoll, it also found 27 per cent have been told by others that they should say yes more often. But 62 per cent reckon they'd be much more inclined to try something new if they were able to prepare for it in advance. Paul Ray, from Halfords, which is encouraging people to give their car a 'Free 5 Point Summer Check' to ensure it's ready for adventure, said: 'While Brits might get set in their ways, 62 per cent feel they would be more likely to say YES if they felt ready for anything, especially when the sun's out and the kids are off school. 'Saying 'yes' more often can open doors you didn't even know existed. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad "Whether it's trying something new, meeting someone unexpected, or stepping slightly out of your comfort zone, those small yeses can add up to big life shifts. 'Don't let worrying about the car be the reason you say 'no' to a last-minute trip to the beach or a spontaneous camping weekend. It's to encourage more Brits to say 'yes' this summer | Joe Pepler/PinPep Top 20 things Brits would like to say 'yes' to for the first time: Master a foreign language Skydive Learn a musical instrument Move abroad Move to the countryside Go to more gigs and concerts Retire Get a tattoo Go down a zip wire Run a marathon Learn how to dance Climb a mountain Try surfing Travel solo Start a new career Sea kayaking Go on a roadtrip Take up yoga Move to a different city Paint or draw
