The wine went on sale at 4pm UK time, but the site was updated less than hour later to signal stocks were sold out.
In a post on Instagram, the duchess' As Ever brand said: 'It's here! Raise a glass to the newest addition to the As ever family. Our beautiful Napa Valley rose is now available'.
A short clip showed the wine being poured into a glass, with accompanying sound.
The pale pink wine, in a clear bottle with a white gold-rimmed label, was launched on a dedicated wine.asever.com where an over-21 birth date must be inputted to enter and where the drink was described as: 'A delicately balanced rose with soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish.'
The site adds: 'Reminiscent of the finest Provencal styles, it's crisp, pale in color, and effortlessly elegant – crafted for slow afternoons and golden-hour gatherings.
'This rose captures the essence of sun-drenched outdoor moments through its thoughtfully crafted blend.'

The duchess was shown drinking rose during the last episode of her Netflix series With Love, Meghan earlier this year when she offered chef Alice Waters a glass of wine.
'Would you like a glass of rose while we're cooking?' the duchess said, pouring from a bottle which does not appear to be As Ever wine, having a different label.
Meghan added as she drank: 'Might be the best sip of wine I've ever had.'
Napa Valley wine country is in northern California, around 50 miles from San Francisco.

ITV sitcom lauded as 'the funniest ever made' rockets up the Netflix charts four full seasons arrive on streamer
An ITV sitcom dubbed 'the funniest ever made' has rocked up the Netflix chart after four full series dropped on the streamer. Plebs, created by Sam Leifer and Tom Basden, hit our screens on ITV back in 2013 and wrapped up six years later. Over the years there has been 39 episodes across five seasons. But fans were treated to a one-off special in 2022. Netflix's synopsis reads: 'Three hapless young men pursue love, good times and jobs that won't kill, maim or humiliate them in the anything-goes city of ancient Rome.' It stars the likes of Tom Rosenthal, Joel Fry, Ryan Sampson, Tom Basden and Karl Theobald. Although the sitcom finished in 2019, the programme is still a huge fan favourite and many will be over the moon to know that it's now available to watch on Netflix. The first four seasons of Plebs are available on the streaming service. Series one has six episodes to watch, while the other three have eight to enjoy. Clearly people are absolutely loving the show on Netflix, because it's currently sitting at number three in the charts. Many have rushed online to share their positive reviews about the show on Google reviews. 'The funniest, most brilliantly written comedy ever made.' 'Smart and hilarious! Great characters.' 'Original funny and very entertaining. I love the ska/rocksteady soundtrack. Great cast too.' 'One of the funniest sitcoms I've come across. Cast change to begin season 4 details the season to start but ends up working well with the new cast and setting change.' Many rushed online to share some positive reviews about the popular programme, which is now available to watch on Netflix 'I've watched every episode of this I think it's brilliant. Clever how it's an ancient setting but modern humour.' 'Plebs is the funniest, most brilliantly written comedy ever made in our opinion. 'And it's frustrating that it feels totally underrated. 'The final feature length film had us in tears as well as in stitches! Brilliant!! 'We will miss it so much!!' Meanwhile others have taken to IMDB to do the same. 'Hilarious view of Ancient Rome.' 'Loving this - it's pretty much The Inbetweeners do Ancient Rome. Class.' Others took to IMDB to share their positive reviews about the show 'I loved this show, so much so that its now my most recommended show to my friends. 'Everyone is weary when i first tell them the premise and when they first see it. By the 2nd episode they also become a fellow plebeian. 'Give the show a try at least 2 episodes! You will most likely not regret it.' 'Charming, likable characters, upbeat music and a unique setting. This show is very easy to watch and get into.'

Sad reality of Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz's life as 'nepo babies'
Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz's lifestyle could not be further away from reality so here we take a look at how they fill their days as 'nepo babies' The term "nepo babies" has been thrown around a lot over the last few years regarding the off-spring of celebrities. And when faced with the question of whether they believe that they fit the mould of a "nepo baby", many are quick to insist that they have carved out their own careers through hard work. And while Brooklyn Beckham, 26 and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, have attempted to carve out their own careers (with Victoria and David's son dipping his toe into photography, football, modelling and cooking - to name a few), they haven't quite been able to shake off the nepo baby label. This comes after David Beckham spoke 'as a father' in 'family' announcement after Brooklyn's latest snub. Their association with the term isn't perhaps helped as they fill their day with mundane tasks which include shopping trips, posting kissing selfies on Instagram and Brooklyn's cooking vlogs. In a recent post, Brooklyn shared with fans that he was tasked with accompanying his wife on yet another shopping trip. Taking to the social media platform, he told his followers: "Me waiting for my Mrs to try on clothes ha." The couple have been at the forefront of attention over recent months after it appeared that a fall out within the family had occurred. And it does not seem as though the hatchet will be buried any time soon as Brooklyn, who appears estranged from his parents and siblings, failed t6o turn up to any of his dad's 50th birthday celebrations, among many other family occasions. David and Victoria Beckham have remained tight-lipped over the heart-breaking situation, while Brooklyn's brothers, Cruz and Romeo have reportedly unfollowed the pair. According to the Mail Plus, despite brand collaborations, Brooklyn and Nicola are happy to glorify their privileged lifestyle. A source reportedly said: "They don't have proper day jobs. Instead, they just post on Instagram and show off. It's all so ghastly, it's like, 'Look at us, we have so much money'- without actually earning it." They added: "David and Victoria have worked extremely hard to get what they have and they did their very best to instil that into their children, let's not forget that Brooklyn used to have a job in a café when he turned 14 - but then Nicola came along." The source continued: "She comes from a different family culture entirely, she just had money thrown at her. Sadly, that seems to have infected Brooklyn." Over the years Brooklyn has shown an interest in a variety of careers, one of which was following in his father's footsteps as a footballer. But he soon found a passion for photography and now most recently, his love of cooking and sharing his talent on social media has become his main focus. Meanwhile Nicola, 30, had starred in Transformers which was a blockbuster hit at the time and had also penned, directed and starred in her own film Lola. However, critics were not best pleased with the production. Brooklyn's apparent "nepo baby" lifestyle is a far cry from the values his parents instilled in him as a child, if Victoria's past interviews are anything to go by. In an interview she once said: "They won't be these children that stay at home and don't do anything. They will definitely work." Victoria was in one of the most successful girl groups in the world. As a Spice Girl, she was known as Posh Spice. Since the group disbanded in 2001 following Geri Horner's departure a little earlier, Victoria not only tried to carve out a solo career but went on to launch a globally respected fashion house. David was an international footballer and was hailed as one of the greatest. He now owns his own club in Miami.
