Meghan Markle has issued a warning to those entering her new website.
The Duchess of Sussex launched her first alcoholic beverage on Tuesday via her lifestyle brand, As Ever.
The wine, a 2023 Napa Valley Rosé, sold out within an hour of the £24 bottle going on sale.
Meghan, 43, also confirmed that a Méthode Champenoise Napa Valley sparkling wine is planned for the near future, with additional varietals to follow.

However, royal fans who wished to purchase the wine from Meghan's new website, wine.asever.com, were met with an immediate warning.
As the alcoholic beverage is only currently available to purchase in the United States, buyers must be at least 21 years of age.
The warning states: "Enter to Explore Wine by As ever. Enter your birth date to verify you are 21 years or older."
GB News understands that there are no immediate plans for British distribution.

A source told the People's Channel that Meghan is aware of the worldwide demand for her products and will continue to assess the brand's consumer shipping and fulfilment strategy.
The insider confirmed that As Ever is conscious of global interest in the brand.
Customers also expressed their discontent after discovering they had to purchase As Ever wine in sets of three for £72, half cases for £127, or full cases for £240.
“YIKES!! Talk about Meghan Markup. Meghan Markle is forcing anyone who wants her wine to buy three bottles at least, totally $90 + $20 in shipping,” one potential buyer slammed on social media.

“What a SCAM. You have to buy 3 bottles, you cannot just buy one-and it’s $90 for 3 plus $20 shipping,” another fumed.
However, not all were furious with the wine launch, with some arguing the pricing could have been influenced by the beverage being a totally new product.
“I live in (the) Bay Area and (the) per bottle price is on the pricey side but for winery subscription (it) is on (the) normal price range,” one fan explained.
