Met Éireann is promising drier weather and some sun for the bank-holiday weekend, so perhaps it’s time to break out the rosé again. Today’s two pink wines, including one sparkling, are both from Aldi.

Languedoc Rosé 2019, Pierre Jaurant, €8.99
Medium-bodied, with attractive ripe strawberry and raspberry fruits and a nicely rounded finish. Drink solo, with grilled salmon or alongside summery salads.

Fleurs de Prairie Sparkling Brut Rosé, €12.99
Ripe red summer fruits – strawberries and redcurrants – with a nicely textured mousse. Perfect for a mini-celebration or just because the sun has returned.
