Its fresh flavours of grapefruit and citrus have made it famous around the world.
In fact, it’s even a favourite of the Beckhams.
But if you’re wanting to enjoy similar flavours for less this bank holiday, we’ve put together a list of dupes…
Lidl
Lidl launched its Whispering Angel dupe this week – and it’s half the price.
A bottle of Breath of Paradise costs just £10.99, making it more than 50% less.
It’s made mostly with Grenache grapes grown in the French region of Provence, and has an aroma of fresh peach and wild herbs.
Breath of Paradise hit shelves this week and it’s only available while stocks last, so you’ll need to get in quick.
Lidl’s master of wine Richard Bampfield said: “Well known for producing grapes that fuel the ‘premium dry rosé’ category, wines from the region of Provence are well known by both Brits and the French alike.
“However, with branded options often carrying a hefty price tag, most tend to reserve them for special occasions rather than include them in the weekly shop.
“At excellent value, Lidl’s Breath of Paradise is a summer game changer.”
Bampfield added the wine is best served well chilled or over a large ice cube.
Home Bargains
The Home Bargains version is a whopping 79% less than the real deal.
The bargain store recently launched The Angel, which comes in a magnum-sized bottle but has a price tag of just £8.99.
Given that magnums of Whispering Angel are £44.50, that’s a huge £35.51 saving.
It comes in a pink and white patterned bottle.
M&S
The posh supermarket recently revealed its summer wines selection – including a Whispering Angel dupe.
The La Balconne Organic Provence Rose costs £18 for a bottle, so it is among the pricier wines in this list.
However it’s still £4.50 cheaper than Whispering Angel.
Plus, TV wine and drinks expert Andy Clarke said he was blown away by the quality.
“I’ve tasted hundreds of rosés over the years and it’s always so exciting to find a new one that whizzes straight to the top of my list!
“… Move over Whispering Angel… Rosé doesn’t get better than this!”
Asda
Asda‘s version is around half the price of Whispering Angel, and it has a tongue-in-cheek name.
The Screaming Devil wine has gone viral on social media.
It costs £12.97, making it £9.53 cheaper than Whispering Angel.
It’s produced in Côtes de Provence by French winemaker Les Grands Chais de France, and is available to buy at Asda and Ocado.
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.
