From lockdown treat to Adele’s fridge: Whispering Angel, the supermarket rosé that took over the world

The singer swears by it, it's all over Instagram, and it has boosted the worldwide rose market. What is the 19 bottle's secret?

A bag of Babybels, a bowl of leftover dal - even by civilian standards, there is rarely anything glamorous about the contents of my fridge. So it is with a pleasurable shiver of surprise that every time I have opened my fridge over the past week, a bottle of blush-pink Provencal rose has been casting a rosy glow over my parmesan rinds and Tupperware. Because this is not just any wine; this is Whispering Angel, Adele's favourite, and the most talked-about tipple of the year.

If a song called I Drink Wine didn't make her #relatable enough, the singer, who is said to be worth 140m, recently revealed her chosen tipple to be this upmarket (18.99) supermarket wine. Adele told US Vogue that her first lockdown grocery trip was for ketchup and Whispering Angel, which turned me into a barking dog. It did not make me whisper."
