Just a week after the supermarket's "hilarious" store rebrand, Aldi has unveiled an Oasis-inspired Supernova Champagne, available from today.
The new bottle, sold exclusively in Aldi's Bury New Road, Manchester store, arrives just days before the band's highly anticipated return to the city.
The £14.95 bottle features special packaging inspired by the band's iconic anthem.
The champagne utilises Aldi's award-winning Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut, which has been repackaged with a distinctive 'Supernova' design.
The limited-edition packaging transforms the award-winning fizz into a collector's item for Britpop enthusiasts.
Its exclusive release has generated extraordinary demand, with the supermarket implementing a one-bottle-per-customer restriction to manage the crowds.
The launch coincides with the band's return to Manchester on July 11, offering fans a commemorative item from the location near where the Britpop legends' journey began.
Aldi has positioned the product as an accessible way for fans to commemorate the reunion without premium pricing.

Devoted fans began queuing as early as 6:15am to secure their bottles. Derrick Smith said: "I left at quarter past six and waited an hour before the store opened. The bottle looks amazing."
Another shopper revealed: "I got here for half six. My wife's a big Oasis fan, so I came to grab her a bottle. I've just called my mates to come down too."
The release even attracted fans from across the country. Superfan Jack Blake added: "I drove from London for the champagne after I saw the post. I thought I must try and get a bottle!"
The champagne utilises Aldi's Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut, which secured the World's Best Champagne title at the World Champagne Awards 2025.

Aldi has rebranded its Bury New Road store ahead of Oasis' Manchester reunion
AldiOffering "aromas of ripe apple, soft red fruit, and delicate florals", the acclaimed beverage is adored by shoppers.
But music enthusiasts must act fast if they want to get their hands on the tribute, as stock remains strictly limited with no plans for restocking.
Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, Julie Ashfield, commented on the champagne spin-off, stating: "We're thrilled to launch Supernova Champagne, a special, limited-edition rebrand of our award-winning Veuve Monsigny.
"We're offering shoppers a unique and memorable way to raise a glass to this iconic moment in music history."
This isn't the first time Aldi has placed a one-bottle limit on a tasty tipple. Just last month, the restriction was placed on a "premium" summer wine.
The Bowler & Brolly x London Cru Pétillant Naturel (£12.99) arrived in stores on June 26, perfectly timed for English Wine Week celebrations.
One of London Cru's winemakers, Alex Hurley, stated: "The Bowler and Brolly x London Cru Pét-Nat has been an incredibly exciting project for us, one where we've truly enjoyed bringing a value-driven English sparkling across the UK and Ireland.
"Collaborating with Aldi gives us the chance to share our boutique London-made craft wines with a broader audience while staying true to our playful character.
"This unfiltered, unfined Pét-Nat is a celebration of English grapes and made with summer sipping firmly in mind."
In other Aldi news, the supermarket's cocktail aperitif has recently been crowned "best in the country".
The "star-studded" beverage (£6.99) made a triumphant return to stores this year, delighting loyal fans.
