Almost 5,000 bottles flew off Aldi shelves in the first week of its release

Aldi has announced the return of its viral Specially Selected Rosorange Rosé, which is available now in stores nationwide.

Following major success during its first launch in 2024, the "hybrid vino" is back on shelves due to overwhelming demand.


The tasty tipple, priced at £9.99, "blends the bold character of orange wine with the refreshing softness of rosé".

It boasts a pale pink-orange hue, with "inviting aromas" of tangerine, quince, apricot and rose.

Described by Aldi as a "must-have for wine enthusiasts", the Specially Selected Rosorange Rosé offers a dry yet flavourful profile with a distinctive fruit-forward taste.

The innovative tipple proved a sensation among shoppers last year, with almost 5,000 bottles "flying off shelves" in the first week alone.

Sales tripled by the second week, cementing its status as one of Aldi's most successful wine launches.

The wine even achieved "viral" status, with well-known influencers embracing it upon initial release.

Lucy Hitchcock (known as @PartnerInWine) commented: "Oh my gosh. That's so unusual but really quite delicious. The result is this refreshingly dry wine that takes the best of both different styles."

Shoppers also gave rave reviews on social media as they eagerly awaited its comeback.

One Aldi fan stated: "I bought one bottle a few weeks ago @aldiuk - a huge mistake because there's no longer any in stock and it's damn delicious! We need a restock!"

Another added: "I tried this wine a couple of months ago and immediately went out the next day and bought another six bottles. I personally love it."

The Specially Selected Rosorange Rosé forms just part of Aldi's Spring Summer Rosé range.

Whether you love rosé or are curious to try something different, the range is available in stores now.
