Amateur wine-enthusiasts may soon be able to wax lyrical with their knowledge of aromas and taste, thanks to a new range by Marks & Spencer.
The supermarket have released 15 new wines which have been designed to help wannabe connoisseurs, who might otherwise find the alcohol aisle intimidating, to learn more about the beverage.
It is called the ‘This Is range’, a nod to their famous slogan, and includes bottles of spicy reds, blushing roses, tropical whites as well as some sparkling fizz on offer for just £6 or less.
Created by M&S winemakers, led by Belinda Kleinig, the new bottles showcase popular styles and grape varieties, with bright, helpful labels showing exactly what kind of wine is on the inside.

It comes after M&S delighted shoppers by launching Percy Pig ice cream earlier this month.
The new snack, which joins the range of Percy Pig jellies and sauces, has the unmistakable raspberry and grape flavour of the popular sweets with a ripple of signature fruity sauce running through, as well as strawberry marshmallows.
And fans rejoiced at the announcement of the new product, saying they’re going to rush to the shop to pick up the ‘essential item’, which costs £3 per tub for 453g.
