Aldi orange wine returns for summer with a sparkling twist
Aldi's Specially Selected Chassaux et Fils Sparkling Orange Wine is £9.99 a bottle, following the success of its Specially Selected Rosorange Rosé (£9.99, 75cl).
Last summer, orange wine was one of the world's most talked-about drinks trends, fuelled by social media buzz and a growing appetite for unique flavour profiles.
Wine bars were offering it by the glass for upwards of £8–£10.

Aldi launched its own take on the innovative tipple, which became a sensation among shoppers when it launched, seeing almost 5,000 bottles fly off the shelves in the first week alone - with sales tripling by the second week.
Aldi's Specially Selected Chassaux et Fils Sparkling Orange Wine is aromatic and inviting from the first sip. The nose lifts with notes of apricot and subtle floral tones, while the palate follows with a gentle tannic grip adding texture and intrigue.
Long and complex, it's been created to leave a 'lingering impression of orange marmalade and minerality', pairing well alongside a charcuterie board – perfect for golden hour catch-ups in the garden.
Aldi's Specially Selected Chassaux et Fils Sparkling Orange Wine (£9.99, 75cl) is available now.
Summer's other drinks trend - chicken wine
Aldi has also launched its new 'chicken wine ', Le Petit Poulet Rosé, this year in a 1.5L boxed version for £12.49.
Last summer, the 'chicken wine' was popular on TikTok and Instagram. It's named after the chicken on its label.
Delicately pale and bursting with citrus and red berry notes, Le Petit Poulet Rosé comes from sun-drenched vineyards of Provence at a price that's 19% cheaper than market leader La Vielle Ferme.
The new Le Petit Poulet Rosé boxed wine joins Aldi's boxed wine line-up, including red, white and rosé:

Aldi opens one of its biggest stores in Wales
One of the biggest Aldi stores in Wales has opened its doors. Aldi says it is opening an average of one new supermarket a week for the rest of 2025 as it ramps up its expansion programme. The openings form part of a £650 investment into its store estate this year. This will also see 35 of its supermarkets undergo refurbishments before the end of the year. The expansion push saw the brand open up a new supermarket on Deeside this week, with Team GB diving hero Lois Toulson cutting the ribbon. The Airfields store is 21,000 sq ft and will be run by Store Manager Spencer Kearney, along with a team of 27 staff. Jonathan Neale, Aldi UK managing director of national real estate, said: 'At Aldi, our goal is to make sure people across the UK have access to affordable, high-quality food, and opening new stores is key to making that happen. We're now opening an average of one new store a week for the rest of 2025, showing just how ambitious our plans are to build a store network that will help us reach millions of new customers." Join the North Wales Live Whatsapp community now Store Manager Spencer Kearney said: 'It was lovely to welcome our new customers into store, and I look forward to meeting more of the community in the coming weeks.

Extremely rare £1 coin sells for £2,500 but you must find little-known detail
Check your change now as you could be sitting on a little fortune if you own this £1 coin. The UK piece features a rare dual-dated error but it can be hard to miss Some coins can be worth a lot more than you think. Take for example, this one penny coin which is the "rarest in UK history" and it could hold an eye-watering value of £72,000 without you even realising. Nowadays rare coins are hot topic, whether it's a 20p coin or a 50p coin whatever it is, it's worth more than face value. Now it's time to turn your attention to something a little bit more expensive than those pennies – as it's a £1 coin that could flog for a staggering £500. Instagram user @CoinCollectingWizard, who boasts 30,500 followers, shared some information on the 2016 coin. He said: "This is a UK £1 and there is a rare dual-dated error worth a lot of money, here is what you need to look out for. "You're looking for a 2016 obverse dated coin with 2017 micro-engraving on the reverse so small you might need a microscope." Discussing the piece, he continued: "We understand that at least one example was sold for £2,500 to a buyer in Spain in 2017. "The error is particularly difficult to spot due to the size of the micro-engraving so be sure to keep an eye out for this one. "It's worth checking any 2016 coins as it is one of the hardest errors to spot. "Remember you are looking for a 2016 obverse dated coin with 2017 micro engraving on the reverse so make sure to check all your £1 coins. "This is an easy error to miss as it's so small." So what's important about this coin? Firstly, this piece marked the final production of the old round £1 coin. It was essentially replaced by the new 12-sided pound coin which entered UK circulation a year later in 2017. As there were many minted in 2016 to prepare for the 2017 launch, some coins inevitably featured a rare minting error where the micro-engraved date on the rim was incorrect. This specific error, known as the dual-dated coin, is highly sought after by collectors. It features the fifth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and was designed by Jody Clark, with the Latin inscription "ELIZABETH II · DEI · GRA · REG · FID · DEF ·" and the year "2016". While it might be extremely rare to spot in your change, it's still worth looking as it holds a huge value.

The Claire's shops that could close as retailer falls into administration
Claire's shops across the UK could face closure after the retailer filed for administration. The jewellery and accessories business filed a notice of intention to appoint administrators on Wednesday – with Interpath expected to take on the role in the coming days. The move will raise fears over the future of its 306 stores, with 278 across the UK and 28 in Ireland. The potential closures mean 2,150 jobs could be at risk. For now, Claire's shops remain open after Interpath confirmed in a statement on Wednesday evening it appointed Will Wright and Chris Pole as joint administrators. It comes after Claire's US and Canada commenced court-supervised restructuring proceedings after filing for bankruptcy. Separate proceedings are already ongoing in Germany and Austria. Chris Cramer, chief executive of Claire's, said: 'This decision, while difficult, is part of our broader effort to protect the long-term value of Claire's across all markets. 'In the UK, taking this step will allow us to continue to trade the business while we explore the best possible path forward. We are deeply grateful to our employees, partners and our customers during this challenging period.' With more than 300 stores in the UK and Ireland, all four nations could be impacted by store closures. Below is a full list of how many Claire's shops could be at risk of closure across each region in the UK and Ireland. London and Greater London – 20 North East – 9 North West – 27 Yorkshire – 21 East Midlands – 17 West Midlands – 25 South East – 49 East of England – 25 South West – 27 Scotland – 27 Wales – 17 Ireland – 10 Claire's has more than 280 stores across the UK, but the business incurred losses of around £25million over the last few years prompting it to file for administration. Sean Moran, restructuring and insolvency partner at law firm, Shakespeare Martineau, said the rise of new online stories, the popularity of social media platforms, and US President Donald Trump's recent tariff hikes could all be factors in the retailer's demise. He told Metro: 'The fashion and accessories space has been flooded with new competition in recent years. 'From new online stores pushing the boundaries of fast fashion prices, like Shein and Temu, which benefit from low value import loopholes, to entirely new retail platforms surging in popularity, like Instagram and TikTok, the retailers largely 'bricks and mortar' presence has struggled to compete. 'Ongoing geopolitical considerations, including Trump's much publicised tariff onslaught, combined with a general downturn in consumer and high street spending, created a perfect storm for the well-loved brand.' Claire's is the latest wave of British high street retailers closing with dozens of shops to close in August. More Trending Arts and crafts store Hobbycraft recently announced it would be closing nine more stores this year as the company continues to go through a restructuring process. Supermarket chain Morrisons revealed it axed more than 3,600 jobs after closing 17 of its stores last year. Meanwhile, River Island was close to meeting the same fate as Claire's but was saved from collapsing into administration.
