While Lidl's left her extremely disappointed, she reveals the affordable winner you'll need to nab

So if the thought of spending £22.50 on a bottle of wine sends shivers down your spine, we've got you covered
The popular rosé comes with plenty of celebrity backing, with Adele, Lady Gaga and the Beckhams pronounced as big fans of the tasty tipple.
But unfortunately for those on a budget, it also boasts a VIP price tag of around £22.50 a bottle.
However, luckily for those looking to cut costs on their alcohol stash, supermarkets have released a variety of similar styles that are much more cost-effective.
So, with the weather heating up and picnic season in full swing, here, Fabulous' Senior Writer and self-proclaimed wine fanatic, Abby Wilson, tests out six of the high-street's best bottles.
Breath of Paradise
£10.99, Lidl

Lidl's offering scored a poor rating of 1 out of five
Credit: George Keller
I was excited to try the latest Whispering Angel dupe that hit Lidl shelves only recently, and while it looks practically the same, I have to say, I was thoroughly disappointed.
Yes, it's a nice bottle, but this good-looking blush tribute is not getting a thumbs up from me.
This Whispering wannabe might have the vibe of the real thing but unfortunately, it lacks the flavour.
If you like wine that's bitter and vinegary, this Provençal tipple could be for you.
Yes, it will keep your bank account in the pink, but it lacks depth and to be totally honest, has a nasty acidic taste that quite frankly, tastes cheap.
'Aldi, are you ok hun' wine pro exclaims as she calls store's £6.99 pink bubbles a 'crowd pleaser' you need to snap up
For me, Lidl normally smash it out the park with their dupes, but in my opinion, this is simply style over substance.
Unfortunately, it's not giving me a 'Breath of Paradise'. The only thing I'm noticing is a sigh of disappointment.
There's not much of a fruity flavour and it definitely needs a bit of lemonade to sweeten it up.
While aesthetically it looks the best of the bunch, the taste makes it the biggest loser in my books.
Ranking: 1/5
Tesco Finest Provence Rosé
£10, Tesco
11
The Tesco Finest dupe wasn't much better
Credit: George Keller
With the cost of our weekly grocery shop rising, there's no doubt that many of our wallets are feeling the pinch.
But if you're wanting to scrimp on rosé, the Tesco Finest Provence Rosé may, or may not, be one to try.
Where my taste buds are concerned, it's dry, weak and watery, with a somewhat tangy aftertaste.
Yes, it's light, but that's about it.
5 delicious supermarket wines under £10
Fizz for popping!
Corte Molino Prosecco Extra Dry NV (11% abv), Italy, Co-op, £9.50
Prosecco is always a winner, but not all Proseccos are created equal…the Corte Molino Prosecco Extra Dry NV is an example of the easy-drinking Italian fizz. With its sensational Tiffany-blue label, this delicious sparkler is floral on the nose and delicately fruity on the palate. It's also suitable for vegans. Cheers!
Great value red for all your date-night faves
CAMPANEO OLD VINES TEMPRANILLO 2023 (13.5% ABV), Spain, Morrison's stores & online from £5.45
A smooth, well-structured red wine with ripe raspberry and cherry flavours complemented by a touch of spice, this gorgeous Tempranillo is a great value alternative to pricier Spanish reds. It goes with Tapas, stews and casseroles and roast lamb, too.
Great value white that will go with anything!
Andrew Peace Signature Black Label Chardonnay 2024 (11% abv), Australia, Morrisons, £5.50
Making roast chicken, mac and cheese, prawn stir fry, or fish and chips? Or do you need something to go with a decadent dessert? The incredible value Andrew Peace Signature Black Label Chardonnay from Morrisons is hugely versatile. What's more, it's celebrated by critics and is only £5.50 a bottle making it instantly affordable.
Eco friendly vegan wine for the planet lover
Hidden Sea Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 (14.5% abv), Australia, Co-op, £10
Did you know there's a wine brand that actually saves the sea?
Lush, black fruit with a touch of spicy oak, this ripe, dark berry-fruit Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon by Hidden Sea boasts supple tannins that add elegance and complexity. And buying this wine removes the equivalent of 10 plastic bottles from the ocean.
Rose for your sweetheart
Baron De Ley Rosado de Lágrima Rioja 2023 (13% abv), Spain Asda, £8 (when on promotion)
This gorgeous pale pink wine has white blossom aromas enhanced by hints of ripe red fruits. The palate is luscious and fresh, all perfectly balanced. Serve this Provence-style wine chilled as an excellent apéritif and also alongside grilled fish. It's perfect for gifting, too, as the bottle is a beaut!
*Note, prices of wine are subject to promotion. Prices correct as of January 27.
I'm normally a huge fan of the Tesco Finest range and can't get enough of their epic microwave meals that are perfect for lazy nights, but this own-brand buy hasn't cut the mustard for me.
It's said to emit 'delicious stone fruit flavours' and has been hailed as 'crisp and delicate', but I'm not getting any of that with this beverage.
The only upside is that it's cheap. You'll be able to enjoy a summer BBQ and toast to all the cash you've cashed with this, so I suppose if I had to, I could force it down if it meant saving a few pounds.
Ranking: 3/5
Château Roquefeuille Côtes de Provence St Victoire
£14, Tesco

Abby Wilson
As well as having soaring character, with an intense, lasting taste, the expensive-looking bottle is sure to impress your dinner party guests.
It's a gem of a wine that's spot on when paired with a summer salad or a creamy pasta for an alfresco meal on a balmy night.

For those after a wonder-wine that screams liquid sunshine, look no further.
Wine enthusiasts will need to get their hands on a bottle of Les Sarrins Côtes de Provence Rosé, which has a sharp but round flavour.
It's more than just a copycat - its deep flavour almost gave me goosebumps (in a good way).
It covers all bases - it's a brilliant all-rounder wine that is sure to be liked by many at your next outdoor function.
It'll get you ahead of the A-list but that's not all, as it's also a lovely bottle that's perfect for picnics and pre-drinks in the garden.

Credit: George Keller
If you can't afford to splash the cash on Whispering Angel, here's a wannabe that is well worth raving about.
The La Balconne Organic Provence Rosé has been hailed by M&S bosses as 'elegant' and 'charming', and I have to say, I agree. It reaches near the top of the dupe test with flying colours.
It has a light but luscious flavour, with a nice tang that had me reaching for more.
It's floral and fruity, with mouth-watering tastes of berries and wild herbs.

Not only does it taste great and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans, but to top things off, it's also a gorgeous bottle too.

Credit: George Keller
But if you're eager to nab a rosé that's bold but not too sharp, with a strong flavour that hits you straight away, look no further.

It's just like the costly celestial sip, but thankfully, a lot cheaper.

This thirst slacker from Asda is sure to ruffle the feathers of the big-name bottle
Abby Wilson
Thanks to the handy glass stopper, there's no need for a corkscrew, so you'll never find yourself desperately Googling hacks to remove a cork again - phew.
It's a lovely, modern bottle and has a sweet and refreshing flavour of white peach.
As well as being vibrant, this thirst slacker from Asda is sure to ruffle the feathers of the big-name bottle, and has a tasty zest that left me pouring a second (and third) glass within a matter of minutes.
So if you can't make it to the South of France this summer, this dupe-tastic buy is a real winner and one that you'll definitely want to stock up on this season.

Inside Jeff Bezos' $46m wedding with $6m spent on private jet security, $1.8m on wait staff, and $1.6m on roses alone
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JEFF Bezos has dropped an incredible $46 million on his luxury Italian wedding, a source involved in the planning for the past seven months has exclusively told The U.S. Sun. For a man worth an eye-watering $220 billion, such an extravagant cost is a mere drop in the Venetian Lagoon where the 'wedding of the century' is taking place. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 10 Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez leave the Aman hotel in Venice on Thursday Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 10 Final preparations and heightened security measures were seen in Venice ahead of the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Credit: Splash 10 The super yacht Arience owned by american investor Bill Miller is anchored in the lagoon ahead of the expected wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Credit: Reuters But the breakdown of cost to stage the 61 year-old's marriage to Lauren Sanchez, 55, is still remarkable. They exchanged vows in an amphitheater on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, before enjoying a luxury banquet on the Venetian Island of San Giovanni Evangelista. With the Amazon boss welcoming in a host of A-listers including Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, Eva Longoria and Orlando Bloom, absolutely no expense has been spared. The glitzy celebration, which started on Thursday and will rage until Monday, will be fueled by a whopping $2 million spent on the finest wines and champagne. Read more on the Bezos wedding FIRST PLACE Everyone is saying the same thing about Ivanka Trump's look for Bezos' wedding The insider said the event took 'months of planning' with the couple wanting 'everything done exactly their way.' 'This is the biggest wedding ever organized,' he told The U.S. Sun. 'Not just because of the money spent, but also due to the extraordinary level of luxury and detail involved.' To help everyone attend in style, uber-rich Bezos splurged a cool $9 million to reserve spots in the marina for anyone arriving by yacht, with another $6 million laid out to cover parking and security for private jets. It promises to be one hell of a party, with 200 of the couple's well-heeled friends waited on hand and foot. 'Jeff insisted on covering the cost,' continued the insider, 'he wants everyone to feel fully taken care of, from arrival to departure.' A staff of 150 waiters and waitresses was hired for four days, with the cost of service totaling approximately $1.8 million. The Kardashians are leading the world's A-listers flocking to Venice for Jeff Bezos and his bride Lauren Sanchez's ultra-rich wedding of the century The culinary operation included 20 chefs, each paid $5,000 per day, adding up to $500,000. They were supported by 40 sous chefs and assistants, paid $2,000 per day each, for an additional $400,000 over five days. The U.S. Sun has been told the hiring process for staff was extremely competitive. More than 1,500 candidates applied with only the best 150 waiters and waitresses chosen. They were then trained to follow strict service protocols, including limiting interaction with guests while working. The compensation offered was significantly higher than the standard even for large-scale Italian weddings. Bezos and Sanchez painstakingly chose some of the best chefs from Northern Italy and, per the source, approved every detail after a series of interviews and tastings. Legendary entertainer Elton John will reportedly be performing alongside a group of Italian musicians—including harpists, cellists, pianists, and guitarists—who were brought in to create a curated 'Venice experience.' The U.S. Sun understands the performers have been instructed to follow a pre-approved playlist created by Sanchez and members of the couple's inner circle. The musical talent was flown in from France, Greece, Lebanon, and South America. The dancers were also carefully chosen—over 2,000 people applied for the roles, and the final group includes professionals from top dance companies in New York, Paris, and Milan Improvisation is not permitted. Each musician is being paid $10,000 for the six-day engagement, with total music costs exceeding $1.5 million. 10 Kylie Jenner leaves a hotel ahead of the anticipated wedding celebrations of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez on Friday Credit: AP 10 Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian leave the Gritti Palace Hotel on the wedding day of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos with Lauren Sanchez on Friday Credit: AFP 10 US businessman Jared Kushner and his wife Ivanka Trump are also among the guests Credit: AFP 10 Usher and Tom Brady also flew in for the celebration Credit: AP Entertainment also includes a series of themed dance performances. Fifty professional dancers—25 men and 25 women—were hired for six days of shows, receiving $12,000 each. The performances, choreographed with Sanchez's input, focus on themes of love, family, and success. Several of the mini-shows will feature the couple's children, and one performance will highlight Sanchez's Latin heritage, during which she will participate in two salsa routines alongside the dancers. The dancers' costumes were custom-made by Italian designers at a cost of approximately $1 million. The visual presentation of the event was equally elaborate. Decor and setup costs totaled an estimated $4.5 million and included designer furniture, silk coverings for chairs and tables, custom cutlery, and artwork featuring portraits of Bezos and Sanchez. Floral arrangements, consisting of roses in six different colors, added another $1.6 million to the budget. A significant portion of the celebration's expenses went toward wine and spirits, with selections curated to mark the couple's birth years and personal milestones. This included 50 bottles of 1964 Petrus Pomerol—the year Bezos was born—at a cost of $151,250, and 20 bottles of 1969 Giacomo Conterno Barolo, from the year of Sanchez's birth, for $29,980. They also ordered 20 magnums of 1961 Dom Pérignon, priced at $25,000 each, totaling $500,000. To accompany those, 20 six-liter bottles of 2003 Dom Pérignon Rosé were brought in at a cost of $399,160. The couple purchased 500 bottles of 1996 Dom Pérignon Brut, one of the most highly regarded vintages of the champagne, for a total of $799,000. Spirits included 15 bottles of Louis XIII Cognac, costing $70,260, and 50 bottles of rare rum priced at $2,750 each, totaling $137,500. 'I've never seen such a high-caliber selection served at a wedding—not even among other billionaires who've hosted events in Venice or elsewhere in Europe,' admitted the source who has been working on the wedding since December 2024. 'This is not only the wedding of the year—it's arguably the biggest wedding of the century. "They've set the bar extremely high. "I wouldn't be surprised if other billionaires now try to outdo it with even more extravagant weddings in the future." 10 A general view of San Giorgio Maggiore island on the second day of the wedding festivities of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Credit: Reuters 10 Jeff Bezos seen smiling ahead of his wedding day in Venice Credit: Splash

Inside Jake Paul's training camp on £30m ranch where he almost FIRED coaches after being pushed to limit in brutal heat
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JAKE PAUL took training camp to his new £30million ranch in the sweltering Georgia heat - where he was pushed the point of almost no return. The YouTuber-turned-boxer returns on Saturday night in California against former middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 10 Jake Paul built a gym on his new £30m ranch 10 Paul purchased the property in Georgia 10 It's been described as 'the middle of nowhere' 10 Trainer Theo Chambers on the pads with Paul 10 Temperatures soar in the Georgia heat Paul has lived in his adopted home of Puerto Rico since 2021 - buying a £13m mansion and building his own custom £3m boxing gym. But this year he purchased a stunning 5,700 acre piece of land costing £30m - spending the fortune he made against Mike Tyson. Temperatures can soar past 30 degrees in the height of the summer in Georgia - and Paul felt every bit of it during camp. Head coach Theo Chambers told SunSport: "I like it because one thing, you can't turn the air conditioning on outside! So I loved it. "It was outside and it was hot." Assistant trainer J'Leon Love said: "That was dope. Out in the middle of nothing, nowhere just running. "That land that he has is so far, just to get from the main road up to the driveway is three miles. "And if you know the time of year in Georgia, the heat is insane. So that was good, it was a change of environment and it was good man. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS "He needed that and found some fun in it at the same time. You need to keep this s*** fun so I'm looking forward to what's going on tomorrow night." But it was not all smiles for Paul in camp. Jake Paul's trainer admits he refused to coach YouTube star at first... and reveals what convinced him to make U-turn In fact, he threatened to SACK his coaches after being pushed to his absolute limit during the gruelling training camp. Love said: "Listen, if you hire me or you hire our team as a whole, I don't care what you wanna do or what you have planned. "Once the mission is set, we dial in and do what we do and you do it, you know what I mean? That's it. "I don't care how much money you got. I don't care how popular you are, how many followers you have. "When we put a plan in place, that's what we stick to and that's what you're gonna do. "I don't care what you're feeling. You're gonna do it, so that's how we bring it, man. "I mean and that's why we're able to keep climbing this pole and keep grinding and reaching these levels. "But most definitely, Jake was p****d a lot of the time during camp, 'Man, we got this much time out.' It don't matter, get to it, but you get the job done." 10 Paul sparring boxer Steve Geffard 10 Paul with sparring partner Steve Geffard Chambers comes from the legendary Kronk gym in Detroit - made famous by the iconic trainer Emanuel Steward. The coach has rubbed shoulders with some of boxing's best - and expects high standards even for 11-1 Paul who only turned pro in 2020. Chambers said: "I saw the grind from Tommy Hearns, Darrell Chambers, Gerald McClellan, Milton McCrory, Lennox Lewis, Miguel Cotto. "So I personally only know one way and that's to work hard, train hard. Boxing is more mental than it is a physical thing. "So if I'm getting fired. I know I'm doing my job." Paul also has esteemed strength and conditioning coach Larry Wade - who has worked with several world champions - in his camp. And Wade revealed: "We want world championship performance, so we need world championship effort. 10 "And if you don't know that, it could be considered a physical and more so mental challenge, and that was the key. "And once he was able to grasp that, hey, we weren't backing down, he was just forced him to just absorb it and say, 'OK, let me get this work in.'" Paul returns for the first time since November when he beat Tyson - who controversially made a comeback aged 58. He has since dropped TWO STONE to drop back down to the 200lb cruiserweight limit of 14st 4lb to face Chavez Jr. Paul says victory could land him a shock ranking with the WBC and put him in line to challenge for Badou Jack's world title. Trainer Chambers said: "I like to be challenged. So I like my guys to be challenged. These MMA guys, they do not stand a chance with Jake Paul. "So I would like to see him fight guys like Chavez, guys like Badou Jack." Love, who spent years training alongside Jack, added: "I know who Badou is as a fighter, he's a dog. "If that is something that happens in the future, wow that'd be dope and great. It'd definitely be a mission. "You know who Badou Jack is, the world knows who Badou Jack is. That would be a great challenge right there." 10 Paul facing off with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr Credit: Getty 10 Larry Wade, J'Leon Love, Jake Paul and Theo Chambers

Mystery surrounds abandoned Maldives resort left to rot with decaying villas, filthy pools & dust-covered massage tables
The resort's origin was revealed in a tour of the haunting island Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN ABANDONED luxury resort rotting away in the Maldives with derelict villas and dirty pools has become shrouded in mystery. A decaying island within the holiday hotspot - which is usually known for its picturesque sights and tropical landscapes - holds a string of villas which have been left for dead. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 An abandoned resort in the Maldives has been shrouded in mystery Credit: You Tube/Kale Brock 8 Rotting pools and toilets lay inside the lifeless island Credit: You Tube/Kale Brock 8 Unfinished villas sit on top of the water Credit: You Tube/Kale Brock Once a promising paradise-to-be, the resort sits on one of the archipelago islands, situated southwest of Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean. YouTube star Kale Brock revealed the mysterious area in a video posted to the social media site. The Australian said his group spotted the eerie location in the distance while on holiday with a tour guide in the Maldives - and convinced him to take them there. Extraordinary footage showed the group touring half-finished villas, as well as piles of debris and dilapidated bedrooms. Broken toilets stood aside heaps of rubbish at the swanky hotel surrounded by swathes of tropical forest. Unkempt pools overflowing with algae can also be seen alongside generators which haven't been powered in years. Brock told that the island was supposedly owned by a prominent Maldivian politician. And he said that construction on the resort reportedly started over a decade ago. The surfer and YouTuber said: "They were building for two years then for 'political reasons'. "We don't really know, ostensibly maybe they ran out of money." Abandoned EFL stadium left to rot with pitch covered in weeds just five years after hosting final match He explained: "They've literally abandoned the project… There's bathtubs in unopened but deteriorating boxes." Shocking footage also showed unopened spa equipment and massage tables - which were never used to accommodate visitors. A centrepiece pool filled with murky water and dead bits of plants is also seen on the resort. The only bit of life that can be seen is the lush palm trees which tower over the forgotten construction. In one eerie corner of the island, the group stumble across an old Mazda and Nissan — both caked in rust and clearly untouched for years. 8 A YouTuber explored inside the abandoned hotel and villas Credit: You Tube/Kale Brock 8 The old site was reportedly abandoned by a Maldivian politician Credit: You Tube/Kale Brock 8 The interiors were seen rotting away Credit: You Tube/Kale Brock They press on to a creepy generator room, lined with bizarre, old machines. Explorer Brock said the scenes reminded him of films like Ghostbusters, Jurassic Park, and Lost. Chilling footage showed the most harrowing part of the island, and its supposed crown jewels. Luxury overwater bungalows that were meant to rake in $5,000 a night sit completely empty, now just crumbling skeletons of wood and steel. Brock is also seen strolling along a half-destroyed concrete platform where a fancy boardwalk should have been if the project was finished. Peering out at the sea, Brock said: 'World-class lives one kilometre away.' 8 Shocking images show the dilapidated villas and unfinished walkways Credit: You Tube/Kale Brock
