Cotes de Provence Watermelon Frose
Summer is almost upon us in the UK, so we’ve teamed up with Sainsbury's to create a gorgeous summer cocktail you can make to impress friends and family.
Our Watermelon Frosé is made using Sainsbury’s Taste The Difference Côtes de Provence Rosé, a 100% vegan wine which is so light and delicious - and available for only £12.
You may not be aware that not all wines are vegan - however Sainsbury’s have a well-curated selection, so get yourself to the wine aisle during your next big shop to find out what’s on offer.
