"Chicken wine in a can! I know what I'm drinking all summer," they wrote over the viral TikTok clip.

Meanwhile, someone else did the maths to work out if the cans were really worth the price, they said: "4 for 3 so £9.30 for 800ml, that's a £9 bottle of wine."
But someone else pointed out, "yes, but it's in a can so you pay for easy."
Five Lidl rosés you need this summer, according to a wine expert - a £6.99 buy is as light & crispy as £22 Whispering Angel
"True, I'd try for a picnic," another added.
Wine lovers have already left rave reviews for the drink on the Sainsbury's website, awarding it an average of 4.5 stars of of five.

bottle, it now arrives in a can. Great value, tastes as good as ever."
NHS guidelines on drinking alcohol
According to the NHS, regularly drinking more than 14 units of alcohol a week risks damaging your health.
To keep health risks from alcohol to a low level if you drink most weeks:
men and women are advised not to drink more than 14 units a week on a regular basis
spread your drinking over 3 or more days if you regularly drink as much as 14 units a week
if you want to cut down, try to have several drink-free days each week
If you're pregnant or think you could become pregnant, the safest approach is not to drink alcohol at all to keep risks to your baby to a minimum.

Another said: "It's wine in a can, good for emergencies. Tastes just like the regular "chicken wine" that comes in bottles."
Notable, the wine doesn't just come in cans and the classic bottle though, it's also been available to buy in a box for a while too.
1.5L of the La Vieille Ferme Rose Wine will set you back £15.75 in Sainsbury's, if that's more your thing.

The harms of binge drinking
The NHS defines binge drinking as 'drinking heavily over a short space of time'.
More than 8 units of alcohol in a single session for males, or more than 6 units in a single session for females is the technical definition, according to Drinkaware.
That's equivalent to about four pints of normal strength beer for a man or three pints for a woman.
When you binge drink, other than getting drunk, your heart rate and blood pressure will rise. It can cause irregular heartbeats, known as arrhythmias.
Alcohol increases stomach acid production - queue the nausea and potentially vomiting.
You're also likely to experience impaired judgement, coordination, memory blackouts and poor decision making.
This could lead to accidents, falls, drownings and other mistakes.
Long term, binge drinking can cause acute liver damage and increase the risk of chronic liver diseases such as cirrhosis and liver cancer.
Cardiovascular problems include cardiomyopathy - which is when the heart loses the ability to pump blood efficiently - and an increased risk of stroke.
Over time, binge drinking can contribute to permanent brain damage. This may present as a mental health condition, such as anxiety or depression.
Binge drinking can also lead to alcohol dependence, or "addiction".

Katie Price gives update on Harvey's weight loss jabs after revealing he weighs almost 30st
KATIE Price has revealed son Harvey will "hopefully" start weight loss injections this week in an attempt to save his life. The former glamour model is worried about the disabled 22-year-old's health after his weight reached 30st. 5 Katie Price says her son Harvey might be starting weight loss injections Credit: PA 5 She said his weight has jumped to 30st Credit: Getty Katie, 47, gave her fans an update on Harvey's weight loss journey on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, which she hosts with her sister, Sophie. Revealing her plans for the weekend, she said Harvey will be joining her on Saturday when she performs at Portsmouth Pride. Katie then added: "Hopefully Harvey starts his Mounjaro this week, but we'll talk about that next week and I'll go through all of what's happening about that." The mum-of-five previously opened up on how Harvey's life was at risk because of his size. The TV personality's eldest child has Prader-Willi syndrome, which sparks a constant desire to eat food and a permanent feeling of hunger which leads to obesity. Harvey battles a series of debilitating conditions including autism , septo-optic dysplasia, ADHD and oppositional defiant disorder. In a video posted in April, 'I just googled it in stones, 188kg is just a few kg of being 30 stone. Most read in Showbiz 'It's so life-threatening now, I'm still waiting for the doctors to get back to me starting on the mounjaro and his journey to a healthy life.' She continued: 'It's so sad his quality of life at the moment where he's so big, he just can't really do much. Katie Price drops huge hint daughter Princess Andre is in talks for Love Island after boyfriend split 'It's just another thing I have to deal with because he's at high risk of having a heart attack, he struggles to put his trainers or struggles to walk anywhere but I love him and I'm going to help him through this. 'So sad, obesity and his condition is sad, it's sad to see someone go through it and he doesn't understand.' 5 Katie thinks the move could be life-saving Credit: PA Everything you need to know about fat jabs Weight loss jabs are all the rage as studies and patient stories reveal they help people shed flab at almost unbelievable rates, as well as appearing to reduce the risk of serious diseases. Wegovy – a modified version of type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic – and Mounjaro are the leading weight loss injections used in the UK. Wegovy, real name semaglutide, has been used on the NHS for years while Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a newer and more powerful addition to the market. Mounjaro accounts for most private prescriptions for weight loss and is set to join Wegovy as an NHS staple this year. How do they work? The jabs work by suppressing your appetite, making you eat less so your body burns fat for energy instead and you lose weight. They do this my mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals to the brain when the stomach is full, so the drugs are officially called GLP-1 receptor agonists. They slow down digestion and increase insulin production, lowering blood sugar, which is why they were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes in which patients' sugar levels are too high. Can I get them? NHS prescriptions of weight loss drugs, mainly Wegovy and an older version called Saxenda (chemical name liraglutide), are controlled through specialist weight loss clinics. Typically a patient will have to have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, classifying them as medically obese, and also have a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure. GPs generally do not prescribe the drugs for weight loss. Private prescribers offer the jabs, most commonly Mounjaro, to anyone who is obese (BMI of 30+) or overweight (BMI 25-30) with a weight-related health risk. Private pharmacies have been rapped for handing them out too easily and video calls or face-to-face appointments are now mandatory to check a patient is being truthful about their size and health. Are there any risks? Yes – side effects are common but most are relatively mild. Around half of people taking the drug experience gut issues, including sickness, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhoea. Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at said: 'One of the more uncommon side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.' Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia. Evidence has so far been inconclusive about whether the injections are damaging to patients' mental health. Figures obtained by The Sun show that, up to January 2025, 85 patient deaths in the UK were suspected to be linked to the medicines. In February Katie told Harvey's , 53, between 2000 and 2001, but split shortly after Katie told him she was pregnant. 5 Katie worries about Harvey's long-term health if he stays obese Credit: Splash 5 Harvey suffers from a disease that causes him to overeat Credit: Louis Wood
