Lidl launches limited edition 'turkey wine' - with proceeds going to charity

Lidl is ruffling the feathers of Christmas dinner tables nationwide with the launch of Turkey Wine - a limited-edition rosé designed to prove once and for all that pink wine deserves a seat at the Christmas table.

With only 500 bottles available and priced at £6.49, the team say this exclusive release is set to become the unexpected star of the Christmas spread.

Shoppers can snap up a bottle from 10:00am on Wednesday 17 December exclusively at www.lidlturkeywine.com, while stocks last, with all proceeds going to food charity Neighbourly.

Endorsed by Lidl’s Master of Wine, Richard Bampfield, Turkey Wine has been created to answer one of Christmas’ most enduring dilemmas: what wine should you serve with roast turkey?

Mr Bampfield explained: “Roast turkey calls for a wine with enough body to cope with all the trimmings, yet not so rich that it dominates the delicate flavours of the meat.

“This rosé fits the bill perfectly and will make a satisfying and highly refreshing accompaniment.”

A beautiful rosy blush, Turkey Wine offers stone fruit notes with a subtle hint of fresh herbs, delivering all the elegance and freshness of a Côtes de Provence-style rosé without the premium price tag.

More than just a pretty pour, it has the structure to complement pigs in blankets, stuffing, and roast potatoes, while remaining bright enough to lift richer, creamy accompaniments such as bread sauce.

Produced in a region of France famous for its rosés, the wine offers a delicious wine at an affordable price - a true festive win for rosé lovers.

The appeal doesn’t end on Christmas Day. Turkey Wine pairs just as well with Boxing Day turkey sandwiches, making it a versatile addition to the festive lineup.

With only 500 bottles available, the Turkey Wine is expected to sell out fast, so don’t wing it!

Lidl’s Turkey Wine will be available from 10am on Wednesday 17 December at www.lidlturkeywine.com - only while stocks last. All proceeds will go to food charity Neighbourly.
