Whispering Angel was recently hailed 'the world's most glamorous rosé', but with magnums costing up to £44.50 you may be excited to discover a cheaper alternative.
It's the flagship wine of Château d'Esclans, a vineyard north of Saint Tropez, France.
After exploding onto the market, it became a celebrity favourite - including among the Beckhams.
Its surge in popularity has also resulted in a selection of tasty dupes flying off the shelves across various retailers.
Whispering Angel comes in two sizes: magnum (1.5 litres) and a bottle (75cl).
Home Bargains has entered the chat with its own magnum-size dupe with a price tag of just £8.99.
The beautiful pink-and-white patterned bottles cost just £8.99 - that's a huge saving of £33.01 per bottle.
One savvy shopper shared a photo of the fizz on Bargain Lovers Facebook page.
"They had it in the Chesterfield Home Bargains. I did buy a bottle. Very nice. 8% so not too strong. A nice sparkling rosé," a fellow customer wrote.
"It's pretty sweet but nice," another wrote.

A third chimed: "I'd buy that just for the pretty bottle."
One commenter did point out that Whispering Angel is not a sparkling wine and questioned whether they really did taste the same.
Whilst some dupes are just as good as the real thing, it's worth pointing out that you get what you pay for.
If you want a tipple that's pretty and nearly as good as Whispering Angel but you don't want to fork out £45 - this is a great option.
But if you've tried the Home Bargains option and you're not convinced, don't worry, we've rounded up the best Whispering Angel alternatives.
