The popular rosé comes with plenty of celebrity backing, with Adele, Lady Gaga and
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.

Lidl's offering scored a poor rating of 1 out of five

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.

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

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

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.

Yes, it's the most expensive of the bunch and isn't that much cheaper than the OG, but it's definitely worth it if you want something that's similar to Whispering Angel but not quite as pricey.
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.

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.

Glastonbury's real headliner? £8 lager and wine at 3x retail price cause outrage at Worthy Farm
It wouldn't be Glastonbury without a little mud, a lot of music, and a mild existential crisis at the bar. As thousands descend upon Worthy Farm armed with tents, sequins, and high hopes, many are now also clutching their pints like precious treasure, because at £7 a lager, they might actually be. Social media is now awash with screenshots, sighs, and stunned silence as festival-goers come to terms with the harsh reality: If you didn't pack enough booze, you're about to be bankrupt! It wouldn't be Glastonbury without a little mud, a lot of music, and a mild existential crisis at the bar. Pic: Jim Dyson/Redferns Festival-goers have since taken to X in their droves, angered by the astonishing upscaled prices at this year's bars. A bottle of Whispering Angel rosé will set you back a heavenly £50, while your local Tesco does it for £22.50. Similarly, 175ml glass of Della Vite Rosé Prosecco costs £15 and £20 for a large. Fancy the whole bottle? Well buckle up because it'll cost you a staggering £60. As thousands descend upon Worthy Farm armed with tents, sequins, and high hopes, many are now also clutching their pints like precious treasure, because at £7 a lager, they might actually be. Pic:However, the same bottle retails for about £21.50 in your local supermarket, making that almost triple the original price. Other cocktail offerings include mojitos, Aperol spritzes, negronis, and the pornstar cooler are all priced at £12 each or £40 a jug, does that come with a free camper van to weather out the hangover in or?!

I'm a pregnant benefits mum-of-four on and moving my kids to one bedroom for some privacy – trolls say I'm selfish
A PREGNANT mum-of-four has been slammed for moving all of her kids into one bedroom. t wo-bedroom house. 3 Nicole Austin was slammed for moving four kids into one bedroom Credit: Tiktok/@theaustins_1 3 Pregnant with number five, Nicole said she needed some privacy Credit: Tiktok/@theaustins_1 In a recent video posted to social media next baby comes. In the clip, she said: "We're putting four kids in one bedroom. I am currently pregnant and to make room for baby, we need to put our son in with his sisters. "Now this may seem absolutely crazy to you because it really does to me without any context." She explained that her daughters were in a double bedroom on a triple bunk bed, which had lots of space for their toys and clothes. READ MORE ON PARENTING Nicole said her son was in her bedroom, but as he needed a bigger bed had to move out as there was no room for it. Expecting hateful comments on the video, Nicole added: "And you know what? "Screw what you all think because me and my husband are going to really thoroughly enjoy having our own room back before the new baby comes." She went on to add that the sleeping arrangement would only be for four weeks, as they had a big announcement coming up about their living arrangements. Most read in Fabulous "And in those four weeks we will actually be away for seven nights on holiday without being at home," she added. "So he really only needs three weeks in with his sisters." 3 The pair said they had another announcement coming soon Credit: tiktok/@theaustins_1 I'm a mum of two and get a £1.7k Universal Credit payday each month people hate me as they work 40 hours a week for the same The clip has since gone viral on the family's TikTok account @ People were quick to share their thoughts in the comments, while some branded the mum as 'selfish', others were more understanding. One person wrote: "Buy a sofa bed, give up your room, and make downstairs your space." Another commented: "Stop breeding." "Give up your room, have a sofa bed and don't be so selfish," penned a third. How can I get a council house? To apply for a council home, you need to fill out and hand in an application to your local authority. To find your local authority, simply use the Government's council locator tool on its website. Once you have access to your local council's website, it should offer you guidelines on how to complete your application. After applying, you'll most likely have to join a waiting list. Bear in mind, even if you are put on a waiting list, this doesn't guarantee you a council house offer. Your council should also offer you advice on how to stay in your current home and solve any issues you might have, such as problems with a private landlord or mortgage. You are eligible to Each council has its own local rules about who qualifies to go on the housing register in its area, but it is based on "points" or a "banding" system. For example, you're likely to be offered housing first if you: are homeless live in cramped conditions have a medical condition made worse by your current home are seeking to escape domestic violence Once you are high enough on a council's waiting list, it will contact you when a property is available. Some councils let people apply at the age of 18, while others let you apply even sooner at 16-year-olds. A council house is reached through a points system, so depending on your housing needs, you may be considered low priority. The council will contact you about any available property once you are high enough on the waiting list. There is no limit on how long you can expect to be on the waiting list. Meanwhile, others were much more supportive, a fourth said: "Good idea, it's important to have some time alone before baby gets here, enjoy." "Looks perfect to me? I don't understand the big deal,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "For 3 weeks crack on. Siblings sharing isn't going to affect them in any kind of way. Especially so young. It's not permanent and they're not in their teens!"
