Aldi launches new red wines made to be served ice-cold
Landing in stores on Sunday July 27 for £6.99 it's 32% cheaper than Ocado's comparable offering. Marketed for barbecues, picnics, or garden soirées, Chill Bill is part of a range of other chillable reds, sold for summer sipping, including: Specially Selected Chilean Pinot Noir (£6.99) Chassaux et Fils Côtes du Rhône 2023 (£5.29 Specially Selected German Pinot Noir 2023 (£7.99) According to Aldi wine expert Sam Caporn, 'Cooling certain red wine tones down the alcohol, sharpens acidity and enhances freshness, which is exactly what people are looking for in a summery sip. (Image: Aldi) 'The trick is to pick reds that are low in tannins but high in flavour - like Pinot Noir, Gamay, Cinsault or Grenache - so the fruit still shines through when served chilled. "These softer styles work brilliantly with alfresco food and can be chilled in the fridge or an ice bucket. Just take it out 20 minutes before serving so it's not too cold.' Sam says of Chill Bill: "This lightly sparkling red is fruity and expressive - just pop it in the fridge. Grab it just in time for August soirees because, like with all Specialbuys, once it's gone, it's gone." Recommended reading: What is the perfect temperature to serve wine at? That can really vary according to the type of wine. Chilling lighter reds can be beneficial, while medium and full-bodied offerings are often better a little warmer. Experts usually recommend heavier red wines like Shiraz, Bordeaux and Malbec are served between 15 and 18 degrees. This keeps the tannins and acidity balanced. Lighter red wines like Beaujolais, Pinot Noir and Grenache are better served at around 12 degrees. This keeps the juicier fruit flavours nice and smooth.

Brad Pitt's Skincare Brand Beau Domaine: From Grape Waste to Luxury Face Creams
Beau Domaine unveils a new look—and a deeper commitment to circular beauty. NEW YORK, July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — This summer, Beau Domaine—the luxury French skincare brand co-created by Brad Pitt and the Perrin winemaking family—is revealing more than just a new design. It's unveiling a broader vision rooted in science, sustainability, and the soil of Provence. Best known for its celebrity pedigree and award-winning anti-aging formulas, the brand is taking a bold step forward with refreshed, planet-friendly packaging and a renewed emphasis on upcycling, a process that turns winemaking waste into powerful skincare ingredients. 'In nature, there is no concept of waste,' Pitt said. 'Every discarded thing becomes nourishment for another.' It's a philosophy that runs through every aspect of Beau Domaine's relaunch. The new packaging design, now in luminous white, reflects both the purity and scientific precision behind the brand's formulations. But the sustainability push goes beyond aesthetics. By lightening the weight of the bottles and jars, the brand is reducing its carbon footprint. And most notably, it's continuing to transform the byproducts of winemaking—specifically grape pomace—into bioactive ingredients that power its skincare line. This approach positions Beau Domaine at the forefront of the beauty industry's growing interest in circular economy principles: reusing, regenerating, and repurposing what was once considered waste. Leading that effort is Dr. Léo Lajoie, Head of Research and Development at Famille Perrin, who holds a Ph.D. in green chemistry. Stationed onsite in Provence, Lajoie is focused on studying the region's native flora for new extraction methods and upcycling potential, ensuring that each ingredient not only delivers clinical results but does so in harmony with the environment. While the look is new, the brand's formulas remain unchanged. Each product is powered by two patented ingredients developed in collaboration with Professors Nicolas Lévy and Pierre-Louis Teissedre: GSM10®, a powerful antioxidant blend derived from Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grape pomace; and ProGR3®, a compound originally developed in the study of progeria that targets 11 of the 12 key biological markers of skin aging. The brand's updated visual identity arrives at a time when American consumers are increasingly embracing ingredient-first, efficacy-driven skincare—especially from 'French pharmacy' brands that combine clean science with proven results. Beau Domaine brings that sensibility to the luxury tier, offering formulas that are both high-performance and environmentally conscious. 'At Beau Domaine, our vision is to redefine beauty by combining the best of nature and science,' says Christelle Clarac-Boutot, Brand Director. 'With this new design, we're affirming our mission: to deliver an exceptional skincare experience that is timeless, high-performance, and deeply aligned with our values of excellence. It marks the brand's evolution—without ever compromising our standards or commitments.' The move also strengthens the brand's connection to its roots. The Perrin family has cultivated vineyards in the heart of Provence for five generations, and their expertise in terroir now extends beyond wine to wellness. With its new identity and deepened focus on upcycling, Beau Domaine is reinforcing the message that luxury skincare can be both scientifically advanced and ecologically responsible. And sometimes, what once was waste can become something beautiful. Beau Domaine skincare is available at

Meghan Markle's lifestyle brand releases wine Napa rosé, but British fans can't order it yet
British royal watchers hoping to get a taste of Meghan Markle's new rosé were left disappointed today - the wine is only available in the US. The Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle brand, As Ever, officially launched its debut wine offering - a 2023 Napa Valley rosé - on Monday, reports GB News. While the product was released at 4 pm BST, shoppers in the UK quickly realised they couldn't place any orders. Priced at around £24 per bottle, the wine is being sold exclusively in the United States through the brand's newly launched American website. According to GB News, As Ever has no immediate plans to ship to the UK. A source told the outlet that Meghan is aware of the global demand and will be 'assessing' international shipping as the brand grows. For now, however, British consumers are left waiting. The timing of the release only added to the frustration. By the time UK fans saw the Instagram announcement, the US-only restriction was already in place. The brand has not provided a timeline for when - or if - UK deliveries might be possible. The new wine is described as a dry, Provençal-style rosé made from a custom blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Syrah grapes. With an alcohol content of 14.5 per cent, it's meant to evoke 'sun-drenched weekends and summer laughter,' according to the brand's marketing. Shoppers can't buy just one bottle either. The wine is only available in bundles: a three-pack for $90 (around £72), a half-case for $160 (£127), or a full case for $300 (£240). As Ever promoted the launch with a minimal Instagram post featuring the wine in an ice bucket. The caption kept things simple: 'Just in time for summer.' This marks the brand's third product release since launching in April. The previous two products sold out within minutes. Meghan reportedly worked closely on this particular wine, curating what As Ever describes as a 'bespoke blend.' The Napa rosé is just the beginning. The company says it's planning a Méthode Champenoise sparkling wine next, with more varietals on the way. The wine is available only in the US through UK customers currently cannot place orders. A single bottle is about £24, but must be purchased in sets of 3, 6, or 12. The rosé features a proprietary mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre, Grenache and Syrah.
