Aldi has launched its own-brand sparkling orange wine, and it's under a tenner.

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:

  • Cambalala Sauvignon Blanc (£13.99, 2.25L) 
  • Costellore Italian Blush (£13.99, 2.25L)
  • Kooliburra Shiraz (£13.99, 2.25L)
  • Costellore Trebbiano Pinot Grigio (£13.99, 2.25L)

Aldi’s Le Petit Poulet Rosé boxed wine (£12.49, 1.5L) is available in stores nationwide, while stocks last.
