Aldi is bringing back its hugely popular own-brand 'chicken wine' with two new varieties - red and white, as well as the traditional rosé.

The retailer is 'hatching' two fresh additions to its Le Petit Poulet line-up at a price that’s 26% cheaper than market leader La Vielle Ferme.

The new Le Petit Poulet White (£6.49, 75cl) and the new Le Petit Poulet Red (£6.49, 75cl) join the Le Petit Poulet Rosé (£6.49, 75cl), which saw shoppers flocking to stores to snap up the bargain ‘chicken wine’.

Earlier this year, Aldi’s Le Petit Poulet Rosé - affectionately dubbed the “chicken wine” - was a hit on Instagram, with one fan commenting: “Oh, this is what we have been waiting for 😍”

Grown and bottled in the heart of France, Le Petit Poulet White is a crisp, refreshing wine with aromas and flavours of pear and white peach. Zesty yet smooth, it is best served chilled with salads, fish and chicken. It’s the ultimate dinner party crowd-pleaser - without the premium price tag.

The best bit? It’s 26% cheaper than La Vieille Ferme White Wine - saving shoppers £2.26 a bottle.

All three varieties are in store now, but be quick, as special buys don't last long.

What is chicken wine?

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, it comes from sun-drenched vineyards of Provence, and was made famous by market leader La Vielle Ferme.

Crisp, refreshing blush is ideal for creating the perfect aperitif moment whilst soaking up the sun.
