So if you’re looking for a tasty tipple that’s perfect for warm days, you’ve come to the right place and will want to listen up.
Sainsbury’s shoppers are going wild for the new Taste the Difference Peach Spritz and people are claiming it “looks lush”.
Libbie May Fitzpatrick is just one of many shoppers to have spotted the new drink in stores and eagerly flocked to social media to alert others.

Alongside her short clip, which she filmed in the alcohol aisle of her local supermarket, Libbie added: “The drink of summer has landed in Sainsbury’s.”
The delicious-looking aromatised wine-based drink contains a natural vineyard peach flavouring.
It is lightly sparkling and ready-to-drink, making it a brilliant option for summer picnics.
Sainsbury’s bosses have described the apéritif as “delicious” and claimed it is “best served well chilled over ice, with a couple of peach slices and mint.”
The sparkling wine drink is also said to pair well with a Charcuterie board, so if you’re a fan of cured meats, cheese and olives, this is sure to be one you’ll want to add to your shopping list.

How to save money buying alcohol
Alcohol can be pricey if you’re planning a party or hosting an event but there are ways to cut costs.
It’s always important to drink responsibly, here, Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements share some tips on getting booze for the best price.
Stocking up can mean big savings on drinks, especially if you want to buy wine or fizz.
The big supermarkets regularly offer discounts of 25% when you buy six or more bottles of wine. The promotions typically run in the lead up to occasions such as Bank Holidays, Christmas and Easter.
If you know you are going to need booze later in the year, it can be worth acting when you see offers.
Before buying your preferred drink make sure you shop around to find the best price – you can use a comparison site such as pricerunner.com or trolley.co.uk.
Don’t forget that loyalty cards can unlock better savings so make sure you factor that in too.
If you like your plonk, wine clubs can also be a good way to save money and try new varieties. You’ll usually have to pay a membership fee in return for cheaper price so work out if you will be buying enough to make the one off cost worthwhile.
