Meghan toasts to ‘beautiful day' as she launches new rose wine

Meghan released her As Ever Napa Valley Rose 2024 – described as evoking the same 'soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish' as the 2023 rose – on Tuesday.
It comes after the previous rose, launched last month, sold out within an hour.
In a video posted on her Instagram, Meghan can be seen uncorking a bottle marked 'Bottle #1' in front of bouquets of pink and cream flowers – followed by close-up of the cork bearing the As Ever logo.
Alongside the clip, she wrote: 'Here we go! First bottle off the line!
'Toasting to a beautiful day: Our Napa rose is live @aseverofficial.'
As with the previous wine, the beverage is priced at more than £67 for a minimum three-bottle order – and only appeared to be available for US customers to buy, with shipping addresses limited to America.
As Ever is Meghan's lifestyle brand which also sells cookie mix, herb tea, flower sprinkles and jams.
A post on the company's Instagram show the corks branded with the As Ever logo, with a caption reading: 'C'est l'heure.
'Enjoy your last sips of summer with the newest vintage of our beloved Napa Valley rose.'
The website describes the drink as 'thoughtfully curated by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex' and that it has been 'made to be enjoyed with the ones you love'.
The pale pink wine, which comes in a clear bottle with a white, gold-rimmed label, has an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 13.5% – one percent lower than its predecessor.
As with the 2023 rose, the newest wine is not available to buy in orders of less than three bottles.
Three bottles cost 90 US dollars (around £67), six bottles cost 159 dollars (around £119) including a 12% discount, and 12 bottles are priced at 300 dollars (around £225) including a 17% discount.
Meghan and the Duke of Sussex left the UK and moved to California five years ago for a new life after stepping down from the working monarchy.
Napa Valley wine country is in northern California, around 50 miles from San Francisco.

Interior of iconic San Francisco 'Painted Lady' house

The Painted Ladies - a row of seven pastel colored homes in San Francisco - have long been an iconic staple in California, but one of them has a drab interior thanks to a new art exhibit. People from all across the world venture out to the Bay Area's Alamo Square Park to get a glimpse at the stunning properties , which were famously featured in the 1987 sitcom Full House. And now, tourists can walk into the Pink Painted Lady home to tour an art exhibit hosted by fnnch Museum - but the inside is far from what the exterior looks like. Behind the doors, the pop-up event, which opened to the public on July 23, features a unique display of Honey Bear paintings along colorless, bland walls. A total of 116 Honey Bear paintings, created by local artist fnnch, are on display in the house. Keen art observers don't have to pay to go, but they do have to register to get inside. The tour is around until October and is open seven days a week from 12pm to 8pm. The artist, a Missouri native who describes himself as an 'anonymous American street artist,' is excited to have his paintings on public display. 'I am thrilled to finally reveal the "fnnch Museum," a project I have been working on all year,' he said in a social media post. 'It is a retrospective of 10 years of Honey Bear paintings, and it is being hosted in one of the famous Painted Ladies of Alamo Square.' Others who have made their way to the exhibit or plan to do so have also shared their elation. 'Went today and the show is FANTASTIC!!! Also, the woman at the front desk was awesome,' one wrote. 'I had accidentally registered for the wrong date and she sorted it so quickly and seamlessly,' an Instagram user wrote on fnnch's post,' they added. 'Looking forward to checking out this exhibit by @fnnch,' said another. While some are thrilled about the display, others are not at all happy about it. In 2021, he was called out in a petition with people demanding his artwork be removed from the city's LGBT center because it is 'inappropriate.' Specifically, the page said it was wrong for him to paint there because he is a 'cis, straight, white, male gentrifier' who is 'taking up space in what should literally be a LGBT location.' 'The local street art and queer community are already blighting out his mural regularly and have vowed to keep it up until it is removed and replaced for good,' it continued. The page also shared an image of a person standing in front of the graffiti-filled mural with their middle fingers in the air. Daily Mail contacted fnnch for comment. The Pink Painted Ladies home is not the first to open its doors, as there is also a Blue Painted Lady House Tour. People can explore the home for 90 minutes daily at 4pm for $35 a person, according to its social media page.

Booking a ticket to Rome, Steph announced she was going travelling and would be back in the future. In reality, actress Georgia has left the soap to go on maternity leave. A source said earlier this year: 'Everyone's thrilled for Georgia and can't wait to see her back when she's ready. 'Steph's exit will happen in the next few weeks and see her flee abroad in typically dramatic fashion. 'But with Anthony's body still out there, there's a huge storyline still to be wrapped up for when she returns.' Actress Georgia announced her pregnancy earlier this year after fans began to notice her growing bump on screen. In the Instagram caption, she penned: "As you've probably guessed, I've got some news to share! Emmerdale fans distracted by glaring baby bump blunder as actress fails to hide her real-life pregnancy "I know some of you have been wondering if you've been seeing a little bump on screen lately… well, it's not your imagination... "I'm having a baby," she exclaimed. "We've never been so excited and a little nervous all at once. Thank you for all the love and support."
