Marks & Spencer has treated fans to two new sparkling sangrias this summer season, priced at an extremely affordable £7 per bottle.
The retailer's latest offerings include a traditional red variety and an innovative white sangria, both designed to bring Spanish flair to British gardens.
The high street favourite announced the launch through social media, encouraging customers to create their own Mediterranean moments at home. Both beverages are now available in M&S Foodhalls across the country.
The sparkling format marks a departure from conventional sangria recipes, offering British consumers a ready-to-serve option for outdoor entertaining and summer gatherings.

|Shoppers have responded with enthusiasm to the new releases
Shoppers have responded with enthusiasm to the new releases, flooding social media with praise for the beverages.
"I can't wait to get my hands on a bottle of this," one eager customer declared, whilst another simply described the drinks as "divine".
The red variant has particularly impressed consumers, with one reviewer enthusing: "Have just tried the red version of this and oh my I feel like I'm on holiday, so light, refreshing and fruity, amazing M&S."

Another shopper captured the essence of the appeal, suggesting: "We can sit on the garden and pretend we are in Spain."
However, one customer offered a practical warning about the white sangria: "Tried a bottle and it's lovely. 11.5 per cent though. Unlike the original red one which is about four per cent. It's very tasty, just be aware of how strong it is."
The white sangria features a vibrant blend of orange, lime and papaya flavours, creating a tropical twist on the classic Spanish beverage.
M&S recommends a simple serving method: pour over ice in a jug and garnish with fresh fruit for an authentic presentation.
The retailer suggests pairing both varieties with tapas boards or traditional accompaniments like crisps and olives. The effortless preparation required make the drinks ideal for spontaneous entertaining or relaxed evenings in the garden.
If you're on the lookout for other tipples, discount retailer Lidliscount retailer Lidl has introduced its own-brand Hugo Spritz – the Allini Spritz – at £4.49 per bottle, capitalising on online interest that has skyrocketed by more than 350 per cent in recent weekends.
