There’s a Spanish Rosé in the range too for the same price.

Let’s get fizz-ical!

Fizz fans may have to dig that little bit deeper, with a pink and white Italian sparkling wine on sale for £6.

Posting to Instagram, M&S said: “These wines are INCREDIBLE value at just £5 per bottle. There’s no ‘judging a book by its cover’ here – the labels show exactly what wine is on the inside.”

With the labels bearing descriptions like “soft & fruity”, “rich & smooth” and “fizzy & fresh”, one Brit joked: “Perfect names for the next generation of Spice Girls!”

“Get me a bottle of that Chardonnay immediately,” said one wine fan tagging their other half.

“Think we should try each one!” said another tagging their pal.

“Virtual wine tasting?” asked one woman tagging her friend.

“The key to my heart!” came the reply.
