The best English wines – including a newcomer from M&S
English Wine Week is back – and continuing until next Sunday. It's a brilliant excuse to explore our ever-evolving homegrown scene – trawl for details of tastings, tours and events. To celebrate, I've picked four bottles that show just how diverse and exciting English wine has become. Sure, it can be more expensive – but the prices reflect a young, quality-driven industry that's all about craftsmanship over volume. Finest English Sparkling Rosé Brut NV (11.5%), £21.50, Tesco. From the heavyweight Balfour Winery, this fizz bursts with pink blossom and has a delicious saline finish. Taken with afternoon tea, it's a joy. Finest English Sparkling Rosé Brut NV £21.50 Shop English Orange Wine 2024 (11%), £15, M&S. Orange is everywhere this summer, and M&S 's lightly fragrant newcomer from Kent is ideal if you're curious about skin-contact styles but unsure where to start. Bowler & Brolly Pétillant Naturel (10.5%), £12.99, Aldi (in-store from 26 June). Yes, English Pet-Nat is coming to Aldi. Zesty with apple, it's lightly fizzy, low in alcohol and made to be sipped in the sunshine.

Particularly with the costs of holidays rising, if you're desperate to find a luggage solution that won't break the bank, this is just the thing. It comes after one savvy shopper was left beaming after browsing the aisles in her local Home Bargains, when she spotted the brand new 5-Piece Kids' Travel Set on shelves. Thrilled with her affordable find, Catherine Jacinto Dela Cruz took to social media to alert others to the purse-friendly set, leaving many totally stunned. Posting on BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More, a public Facebook group with 852,000 members, Catherine uploaded a snap of her find and beamed: 'Kids' travel set spotted at Home Bargains.' Thanks to this epic five-piece set, you'll get a carry-on bag, a backpack and a lunch bag. But that's not all, as it's also complete with a travel pillow and a zip pouch. The carry-on bag and backpacks are perfect for packing your little one's clothes and holiday essentials. Meanwhile, the lunch bag will ensure their snacks don't get squished, while the travel pillow is great for getting some rest on long flights. And if you're worried they'll lose their valuables, the zip pouch is perfect for keeping items safe and secure. Parents are racing to B&M desperate to nab 'the cutest' kids' cabin cases - they're ideal for EasyJet & Jet2 passengers The Home Bargains set is available in three styles - so if your little one can't get enough of sharks, rainbows or camo print, you're sure to find something that's just right for them. It won't burn a hole in your wallet either, as it's priced at just £19.99, which we think is a real steal. Holiday packing tips Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday. 1. Write a list Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase. Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack. 2. Involve your kids Jemma said: 'My girls are getting older, they're 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say 'this is what you need' and they follow the list. 'And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them 'you can have whatever you want in there as long as it's not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that's their 'home away from home' items.' 3. Try a hack or two She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you've just got to pick the right one for your trip. "Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you're trying to get a lot of items into your case, it's a space saver. 'Packing cubes are great - for example, I'm going on holiday with my three kids and we're all using the same suitcase for our clothes. "These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked. "I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we've arrived." 4. Decant beauty products Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller. Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive. 5. Get organised before you come home Jemma said: 'When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes. 'Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person. "Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it." And it's clear that Facebook users were left beaming with the high-street find, as Catherine's post has quickly racked up 121 likes and 72 comments. One person said: 'I got one of them for my son and he loved it.' I want these for the kids! Facebook user Another added: 'That looks good.' Meanwhile, a third tagged a friend and commented: 'If you see this, let me know.' Not only this, but one parent mentioned a loved one and beamed: 'I want these for the kids!'
