La Vieille Ferme Rosé, France, 2025
Widely Available, From £7
La Vieille Ferme Rosé 2025 is an easygoing, dry, light-bodied rosé that’s fresh and fruity rather than complex, with flavours like strawberry, red berries, citrus, and a touch of peach or watermelon, plus a crisp finish that makes it very easy to drink. It’s a good choice if you want a reliable, unfussy, good-value pink wine for casual drinking, especially chilled with salads, grilled chicken, seafood, or as a simple aperitif.

Living Things Watermelon & Lime Soda
Tesco, £5.50 for four
Living Things Watermelon & Lime Soda is a lightly sparkling, low-sugar soft drink with a fruity watermelon taste sharpened by lime, so it’s more refreshing than sugary. It’s also pitched as a prebiotic drink with added fibre and live cultures, and the ingredient list shows chicory root inulin, white grape juice, and natural flavouring, with 14 calories and 1.7g sugar per 100ml.

Taste The Difference Discovery Custoza , Italy, 2025
Sainsbury’s, £8.50
Taste The Difference Discovery Custoza 2025 is a light, dry Italian white that’s fresh, easy-drinking, and a bit more interesting than a basic Pinot Grigio, with citrus, peach, green apple, and a subtle almondy finish. It should work well chilled as a casual aperitif or with simple fish, risotto, salads, and light chicken dishes.
