I tried supermarket Aperol dupes – my £7 winner tastes exactly the same and makes the perfect summer cocktail
Scroll down to find out how to bag a bargain PUTTING ON THE SPRITZ I tried supermarket Aperol dupes – my £7 winner tastes exactly the same and makes the perfect summer cocktail IF there's one drink that embodies summer, it's the Aperol Spritz. And with temperatures set to soar in the UK, now is the time to pour yourself a tangy, crisp and refreshing, tangerine-tinted aperitif. 8 Consumer journalist, Lynsey Hope, put Aperol dupes to the test A bottle of the original tipple will now set you back around £18 depending on where you shop. So, of course, the high-price tag has prompted some supermarkets to introduce their own, cheaper versions. But are they going to hit the spot on a sunny day? Aperol Aperitivo Italian Spritz (70cl) 8 Aperol Aperitivo Italian Spritz was not Lynsey's favourite £17.65, ABV: 11 per cent At nearly £18, this market-leading aperitif is the priciest on my list but if you stick to the recommended measurements you will get 20 servings out of it, so I still didn't think it was too bad in terms of value for money. It has that distinctive luminous orange colour and I very much enjoyed my tipple. It has a more natural and herbaceous taste than some of the 'dupes', which I enjoyed. Worth mentioning also that it's fairly low on booze with an ABV of 11 per cent. Fragrant and moreish - but surprisingly, it wasn't my favourite. Taste: 5/5 Value: 3/5 Overall score: 8/10 Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Orange Spritz Aperitif (75cl) 8 Lynsey thought Sainsbury's version was refreshing ABV: 8 per cent £6.50, Light and easy to drink, I found this refreshing and very easy to knock back on a summer's day. I tested all the supermarket Aperol knock-offs and the best was a THIRD of the price of real thing It was much fizzier than the big brand and whilst I enjoyed the taste, it did have a slightly bitter aftertaste. It's not as boozy as the original but it's over £11 cheaper so a very wallet-friendly tipple AND a bigger bottle." Taste: 3/5 Value: 4/5 Overall score: 7/10 Lidl Bitterol (70cl) 8 The Lidl Bitterol Aperitivo scored the highest £6.99, ABV: 11 per cent An almost exact copy of the original Aperol. It has the same glowing, blood-orange huge and a same 11ABV. Made up into the classic Spritz cocktail, the taste really hits the spot, with the familiar rhubarb, fruity and woody notes that sit somewhere between sweet and sharp in the glass. Served over ice with prosecco and soda, it's really hard to tell the difference between this and the original - except at the till where it's less than half the price. Definitely worth stocking up for summer. Taste: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Overall score: 10/10 Aldi Aperini Aperitivo Spritz (75cl) 8 Aldi's drink was a close competitor £4.29, ABV: 6.9 per cent One sip of this and I very nearly thought I was drinking the real deal. It's not as boozy with a low 6.9 ABV and the orange colour is much lighter. It was quite sugary and the texture was a little more syrupy than the others. But it had the full and vibrant taste of the branded drink. Loved the bursts of citrus and rhubarb. It's only a little over £4 - amazing value. Taste: 4/5 Value: 5/5 Overall score: 9/10 Casa Savoia Americano Rosso (50cl) 8 The Savoia Americano Rosso is more expensive than the original £22.25, ABV: 18.6 per cent It's more expensive than the original but this comes in a super pretty bottle and would make a lovely gift. It's mixed so you only need to add the prosecco and ice to make your aperitif. It can also be used to make negronis if you prefer. The bitter sweet flavours are perfectly balanced with notes of bitter orange, cassia, cinnamon, rhubarb and a whole host of other botanicals. Really enjoyed this and nice that it's so versatile. It's not a big bottle and I definitely would have liked more of it. Taste: 5/5 Value: 3/5 Overall score: 8/10 M&S Low Alcohol Aperitivo (50cl) 8 M&S offers a low alcohol alternative £13, ABV: 0.5 per cent For a low alcohol alternative, I really enjoyed this. It had subtle flavours of juniper, pink pepper, coriander, cinnamon and lavender. The flavours were quite smoky and it wasn't overly sweet like many of the low alcohol drinks on offer. Refreshing, with a hint of vanilla. Loved this with soda or low-alcohol Prosecco. Taste: 3/5 Value: 3/5 Overall score: 6/10 Tesco Spritzi Aperitivo Blood Orange (75cl) 8 Tesco offers an affordable price point £5, ABV: 8.4 per cent A zesty white wine-based drink which is pre-mixed so you don't have the faff of mixing it up on your own. It's quite aromatic with floral notes but more subtle in flavour than the Aperol. It was missing a bit of juiciness and a bit of punch and I thought it tasted artificially sweet. A good price at Tesco though and a decent helping of booze. Taste: 3/5 Value: 4/5 Overall score: 7/10

Sainsbury's change may eventually mark end of an era for shoppers
A pilot is being trialled at a small number of stores as Sainsbury's begins using a system Asda, Co-op, Morrisons and Waitrose are also employing Sainsbury's shoppers could be starting to see the end of an era for a classic supermarket symbol. The retailer is experimenting with new electronic labels to make it easier to change the price. The supermarket chain has reportedly installed the technology in some of its larger stores on items such as beers, wines, spirits and health products in a new trial. Electronic shelf-edge labels allow staff to remotely update prices via computer, eliminating the need to manually replace traditional paper tickets. This also paves the way for dynamic pricing, where prices can fluctuate at the last minute when demand spikes, a strategy seen in apps like Uber. Sainsbury's teamed up with specialist fixtures firm Harrison Retail to create the shelf fixings where the devices will be installed. It was understood that the Witney branch in Oxfordshire was among the first to test the new labels. "We are trialling electronic shelf-edge labels in a small number of our stores," a Sainsbury's spokesperson confirmed to The Grocer. When pressed by the Mirror for more details about the rollout, the chain stated there was "nothing further" to add to what had already been reported. Sainsbury's has become the latest addition to a growing list of retailers trialling electronic shelf-edge labels, joining the ranks of Asda, Waitrose, and Morrisons. This development follows closely on the heels of the Co-op's announcement to swap traditional paper shelf tickets for digital ones across all its branches by the end of 2026, with 1,500 stores set to adopt the new technology by the end of this year. Steven Logue, the Co-op's head of operations, said: "The electronic labels have the potential to enhance product information and transparency, avoid paper waste, and make everyday tasks like picking online orders easier – improving ways of working, supporting our growth ambitions and enhancing the shopping experience for our members and customers." READ MORE: Blackbird crisis: UK residents with gardens urged to take action amid rising Usutu virus cases READ MORE: 'I started turning my driveway into a garden - then a neighbour came round' Lidl also revealed plans to introduce electronic shelf-edge labels last year, following a successful pilot in 35 stores. The budget-friendly retailer claimed that implementing this system would lead to significant environmental benefits, including saving over "206 tonnes of carbon annually through paper and packaging reductions, while ink usage will also be drastically minimised". What are electronic shelf-edge labels? Electronic shelf-edge labels are tags that display product prices digitally and enable price changes to be made remotely from a separate location. According to tech specialists the Barcode Warehouse, the devices are "typically connected via wireless networks, allowing for instantaneous price changes and information updates from a central database or control system". The technology was pioneered in the 1990s and has since been embraced by retailers across Europe and North America. However, it hasn't quite taken off in the UK market, with Tesco halting a complete rollout in 2017 because it claimed "there was nothing new to say" about the technology. Nevertheless, the Barcode Warehouse says shoppers are the real winners when it comes to electronic labels. Its website states: "With real-time price updates, customers can trust that the prices they see are accurate and up-to-date, reducing confusion and improving satisfaction. "Additionally, [they] can display detailed product information, helping customers make informed purchasing decisions."

All the shops closing this weekend including iconic department store shutting after 124 years
We reveal why the retail sector is struggling below SHUTTERED UP All the shops closing this weekend including iconic department store shutting after 124 years A HOST of stores are shutting for good this weekend including a historic department store. Retailers have struggled over recent years as shoppers' wallets and purses take a hit from high inflation. Advertisement 1 A range of stores are shutting this weekend Credit: Alamy An increase in employer National Insurance contributions and wage costs since April has added to the pressure. Combined with soaring business rates, energy and rental costs, some retailers have been forced to hike prices and even shut stores. It's worth bearing in mind of course that retailers close shops for a host of reasons and not always because of a poor economic backdrop. Sometimes chains will shut a poorly-performing branch in one area and open another further afield where they think they'll see better footfall. Advertisement Plenty of retailers are moving away from high streets and towards out-of-town retail parks too. In any case, five shops will shut this weekend including a more than 120-year-old department store. Here is the full list of shops we know are closing down permanently. Ginger Norwich-based Ginger will pull down its shutters for the final time on Saturday. Advertisement The shop was founded by David and Rodger Kingsley in 1978 following the success of their sister company Jonathan Trumbull in 1971. But current store manager Beckie Kingsley said the store will close due to the economic climate and aftermath of Covid-19. Britain's retail apocalypse: why your favourite stores KEEP closing down She said: "It's with truly heavy hearts that, after 46 unforgettable years, we have made the incredibly difficult decision to close the doors at our beautiful, beloved and historic Timber Hill home. "We've weathered many storms over the decades, but there's been ongoing challenges of today's financial climate - coupled with the lasting impact and huge shifts within the retail landscape since Covid. Advertisement "This led us to ask - does it still work for us? After deep reflection, the answer, sadly, is no." Daniel of Ealing Historic department store Daniel of Ealing, in London, will shut for good on Sunday, after opening 124 years ago. Prices have been slashed across homeware, fashion, toys, sportswear and shoes, with up to 50% off. Shoppers finding out the iconic shop will close have shared their dismay online. Advertisement One posted saying: "Loved this shop and it's top floor restaurant." While another added: "Ealing has lost its heart, soul and uniqueness!" The Works Stationer The Works is shutting its Margate store on Sunday, with shoppers' next nearest branches in Westwood Cross Shopping Centre or Ramsgate Garden Centre. A spokesperson for the chain said the decision to shut the branch had been made "as part of ongoing plans to optimise our store portfolio". Advertisement The move has been met with sadness by shoppers, with one online stating: "No I love The Works." Another dejectedly added: "Be nothing left in the town soon." Emporium Worthing Independent bar and shop Emporium Worthing is closing to the public on Sunday "with a heavy heart". The owners posted a lengthy statement on Facebook announcing the closure. Advertisement It said: "We share the challenging decision to close Emporium Worthing after five memorable years of serving you. "This has been a tough choice for us, but after careful reflection, we believe it is the best path forward and the right choice for us at this time." A huge closing down sale has been launched to clear stock, even including fixtures and fittings from inside. It's not all bad news though as the Emporium will be moving online and selling hardwares. Advertisement New Look New Look is closing its branch in the Northfield Shopping Centre, Birmingham, on June 8. A picture recently posted on Facebook of the shop window advertised the closure and signposted customers to the retailer's website. Customers finding out about the closure have been left gutted. One posted on Facebook: "Will soon be a ghost town, absolutely nothing left." Advertisement Another commented: "Online (retail) is killing shops." A New Look spokesperson said: "We would like to thank all of our colleagues and the local community for their support over the years. "We hope customers continue to shop with us online at where our full product ranges can be found." RETAIL PAIN IN 2025 The British Retail Consortium predicted that the Treasury's hike to employer NICs would cost the retail sector £2.3billion. Research published by the British Chambers of Commerce earlier this year shows that more than half of companies planned to raise prices by early April. Separately, the Centre for Retail Research (CRR) has also warned that around 17,350 retail sites are expected to shut down this year. It comes on the back of a tough 2024 when 13,000 shops closed their doors for good, already a 28% increase on the previous year. Professor Joshua Bamfield, director of the CRR said: "The results for 2024 show that although the outcomes for store closures overall were not as poor as in either 2020 or 2022, they are still disconcerting, with worse set to come in 2025." Professor Bamfield has also warned of a bleak outlook for 2025, predicting that as many as 202,000 jobs could be lost in the sector. "By increasing both the costs of running stores and the costs on each consumer's household it is highly likely that we will see retail job losses eclipse the height of the pandemic in 2020."
