Meghan Markle released her Napa Valley Rosé on July 1, which very quicky sold out within one hour of the product being available on her As Ever official website. The wine is described as a "Delicately balanced rosé with soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish."

Enjoying a quality rosé does not have to mean splurging on premium brands or being out of pocket. Supermarkets such as Morrisons and Waitrose offer cheaper alternatives very similar to the stone fruit rosé sold by Meghan Markle.

The Duchess of Sussex's wine came in batches of three, six and twelve, with each bottle costing £22 ($30) and £66 ($90), £116 ($159) and £218 ($300) in total. It was available to purchase only within the US with a £15 ($20) flat-rate shipping.
