Crafted from the Garganega grape (famed as a staple in Italy's Soave wines) and made using the same Charmat method as Prosecco, this light and crisp sparkler bursts with juicy notes of white peach and mirabelle plum.
It's the kind of bottle made for sun-drenched patios, lazy lunches and balmy evening drinks – and comes in a whole lot cheaper than flights to Italy.
Better still? It's already racked up praise from wine experts, taking home a Silver Medal at the International Wine Challenge 2025, with judges describing it as a 'delicate wine with white peach and blossom on the nose… dry and pithy, with wonderful balance.'
James Yelland, Senior Manager for Wine Buying at ASDA, said: 'Now that the word is out, we knew Garda would turn heads.
He added: 'With flavour notes that pair perfectly with light summer feasts, a heritage steeped in sunshine and history, and a Silver Medal win at the International Wine Challenge 2025, we wanted to give every shopper a fair shot at a bottle.'
Whether you're serving up a fish, white meat and summer salads, or simply sipping solo in the garden, Garda Sparkling is the new crowd-pleaser and sunshine-bringer your fridge needs.
Joining the fizz in ASDA's Wine Atlas lineup is the Wine Atlas Cinsault – a velvety red that's every bit as suited to sunshine sipping.
Light-to-medium in body with fine tannins and packed with ripe cherry, plum and a hint of spice, this South African red is perfect for outdoor entertaining and those who love their reds super quaffable.
It's fantastic lightly chilled with spiced BBQ Chicken and pork – the ideal pour for park picnics, al fresco dinners and impromptu weekend gatherings.
Hailing from one of South Africa's most historic wine regions, this Cinsault proves you don't need to spend big to get real quality in your glass.
Part of ASDA's award-winning Wine Atlas range, which is all about uncovering 'lesser-known' grape varieties from wine regions around the world, these new bottles punch well above their price point - and with summer now in full swing, there's never been a better time to give them a try.
Last month, ASDA topped the Decanter World Wine Awards rankings with the most gold medals of any UK supermarket after also being revealed as the most awarded UK supermarket at the International Wine Challenge, winning 155 medals.
These wines are the perfect example of affordable and accessible wines done right – adding to ASDA's catalogue of successes in the category.
Whether you're team fizz or team red – or can't choose an allegiance - these two new additions are budget-friendly bottles that deserve a spot in your summer rotation. Cheers!

EU needs to solve problems without joint debt, German minister says
DURBAN, South Africa, July 17 (Reuters) - The European Union should find solutions to its finances without using common borrowing, German Finance Minister Klingbeil told Reuters on Thursday. Klingbeil said the EU had joint debt in the last few years, but that was in a crisis situation during the COVID pandemic, he said in an interview on the sidelines of a G20 meeting in Durban, South Africa. "Overall, we need to resolve the finances of the EU differently than through a policy of joint debt," he said. "Fortunately, we are not in such a crisis right now." Current geopolitical challenges will be discussed at this week's meeting of G20 finance chiefs which takes place against the backdrop of Donald Trump's tariff threats. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is not attending the summit, and many European finance ministers are also absent. "I would have wished that more finance ministers were here, but I believe that those who are here will make good discussions," Klingbeil said. "There will be good partnerships, and that will certainly be an incentive for others to come next time." The 30% tariff on European goods threatened by Trump would, if implemented, be a game-changer for Europe, wiping out whole chunks of transatlantic commerce and forcing a rethink of its export-led economic model. "This has been dragging on for a very long time," Klingbeil told Reuters. "We really want to have a solution by August 1." Last year the U.S. accounted for a fifth of all EU exports - its largest partner. If a deal is not reached by August 1, Brussels is discussing countermeasures, including the so-called anti-coercion instrument, which allows the bloc to retaliate against countries that put pressure on EU members to change economic policies. Klingbeil said now the talks are focusing on finding a joint solution with Washington. "That's the message we are sending," the finance minister said. "But rest assured, if it doesn't work out, then we are prepared, we will react united and decisively, and then there will be a European response."

China's electricity demands soar as temperatures forecast to hit 50C
China 's electricity demand reached an all-time high of 1.5 billion kilowatts on Wednesday, driven by record-breaking summer heat. Feels-like temperatures in some regions were forecast to hit 50C, affecting over 200 million people across provinces including Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, and Guangdong. This marks the third time this month that China's national electrical load has set a new record, exceeding last year's maximum by 55 million kilowatts. While the power grid is currently coping with the surge, experts warn of potential energy rationing if the extreme heat persists. The heatwave is impacting agriculture, factory operations, and healthcare, though it has boosted consumer spending on items like air conditioners and fans, with solar energy supporting the power surge.
