English wine is expanding with higher production and a broader range of styles. Waitrose, M&S and Aldi are cited for low prices and accessible options, while producers experiment with sparkling, still and orange wines, signaling a maturing sector.
Independent reports Aldi is launching a 1.5-litre magnum of Le Grand Poulet rosé, signalling strong value in supermarket wine. The bottle goes on sale nationwide on July 6, priced at £11.99, with early reviews noting fresh strawberry, raspberry and peach notes and a softer, less dry finish than La Vieille Ferme rosé.
