Aldi orange wine returns for summer with a sparkling twist
Last summer, orange wine was one of the world's most talked-about drinks trends, fuelled by social media buzz and a growing appetite for unique flavour profiles.
Wine bars were offering it by the glass for upwards of £8–£10.

Aldi launched its own take on the innovative tipple, which became a sensation among shoppers when it launched, seeing almost 5,000 bottles fly off the shelves in the first week alone - with sales tripling by the second week.
Aldi's Specially Selected Chassaux et Fils Sparkling Orange Wine is aromatic and inviting from the first sip. The nose lifts with notes of apricot and subtle floral tones, while the palate follows with a gentle tannic grip adding texture and intrigue.
Long and complex, it's been created to leave a 'lingering impression of orange marmalade and minerality', pairing well alongside a charcuterie board – perfect for golden hour catch-ups in the garden.
Aldi's Specially Selected Chassaux et Fils Sparkling Orange Wine (£9.99, 75cl) is available now.

Morrisons teetering as UK's fifth-largest supermarket
Beleaguered Morrisons could lose its place as the UK's fifth biggest supermarket when industry figures are published this week. The Bradford-based retailer has already been elbowed out of the top four by discounter Aldi and is now close to being overtaken by cut-price Lidl too. Britain's supermarket sector – where Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrisons previously formed the big four players – has been transformed by the German-owned brands. The pair have offered an alternative for increasingly cost-conscious consumers worried about rising bills. Industry research group Worldpanel will provide latest figures on the grocery market tomorrow, that could see Lidl clinch the number five spot. Morrisons' boss Rami Baitieh has been attempting to revive the business after its fortunes slumped following its takeover by private equity.

Brits told look for two 'rarest' 50p coins in circulation worth £230
Brits are being urged to check their change as two rare 50p coins could be worth a small fortune, including the newly released Atlantic Salmon 50p and the iconic Kew Gardens 50p. Brits are being warned to keep an eye on their spare change as two rare 50p coins could fetch hundreds of pounds if spotted. The pair of sought-after coins, which include one brand new and one a collector's classic, could see you pocket up to £230 if you're lucky enough to find them. Coin expert The Coin Collecting Wizard took to TikTok to reveal 'the top two rarest 50 pence coins you can find in your change," and both are still legal tender. It comes after Royal Mail made a major delivery rule change from this week for millions of UK homes. The rarest of the pair is the Atlantic Salmon 50p, released in 2023 with just 200,000 put into circulation. One side carries the new portrait of King Charles III, while the other shows the salmon design. But collectors are warned to check carefully. The specialist explained: 'You must make sure it is dated 2023 and has no privy mark on the King side of the coin. If you find this 50p, you can easily sell it for around £80.' The second coin may not be quite as rare, but it's even more valuable. The Kew Gardens 50p, which was released in 2009, features the famous pagoda and remains the holy grail for many collectors, CornwallLive reports. 'This one is the second rarest 50 pence but actually, quite surprisingly, the most valuable,' the expert continued. 'Only 210,000 were made and no matter the condition, you're looking at around £150.' Together, the two coins could net you £230 – a tidy return for what could be hiding in your change. The Royal Mint has confirmed both coins' scarcity. Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at the Mint, saying: 'For the first time in 15 years, the highly collectable Kew Gardens 50p loses its top spot as the rarest in circulation with the Atlantic Salmon 50p splashing its way to number one.' She added that 2023 marked a huge year for collectors, as new coins celebrating King Charles III's coronation also entered circulation. In recent years, some rare and unusual coins have sold for eye-watering sums at auction, including special edition 50p pieces featuring designs such as the Olympics, Paddington Bear and Beatrix Potter characters have become hugely popular. While many of these sell for just a few pounds online, the scarcest editions can go for much more. Experts say mintage numbers are key, meaning the lower the circulation, the higher the value. So next time you get change in the shop, it could be worth more than you think.

High street brands we miss the most in the UK ranked
Buying the latest outfit and taking it home in a snazzy carrier bag was a small joy that made the long queues and crowds bearable. Fast-forward 20 years and the decline of our high street has been inevitable due to the rise of internet shopping and Covid-19. Dozens of banks have shut in recent months, and brands such as Topshop, BHS, Debenhams and Woolworths are now a thing of the past. We all hold nostalgia around what we once loved about our high streets, and now, data has analysed the shops us Brits miss the most. Experts at Liquidation Centre analysed search data revealing the top-searched brands. 1. Debenhams 2. Dorothy Perkins 3. Toys R Us 4. Cath Kidson 5, Thorntons 6, Mothercare 7. BHS 8. Woolworths 9. Miss Selfridge 10. Blockbuster According to the data, it appears that Debenhams is the retailer that most consumers want to see back on their high streets, with a huge 499,000 average monthly online searches. UK High Street Shops That No Longer Exist Boohoo bought the brand and its website in 2021, but didn't buy its high street stores, which eventually closed down. Fans of the brand may be pleased to hear that Boohoo has changed its name to Debenhams, reviving the popular 247-year-old brand. Unfortunately though, physical stores are not expected to return. Sarah Fleming, spokesperson at NerdWallet UK, said: "The UK's retail sector has been hit hard over recent years.

"It's why we're seeing such a resurgence in businesses capitalising on Tiktok trends: from M&S's viral launch of the strawberries and cream sandwich that launched in tandem with Wimbledon; to Tesco following suit and releasing a birthday cake sandwich after seeing the success M&S garnered online. "To survive, businesses need to think creatively, about how they grow their businesses away from the physical world and integrate with the online one to stay afloat."
