As summer winds down, there’s still one more long weekend to enjoy; and Wine Rack has everything you need to make it count. From exciting new pack sizes to flavour-forward wines and chilled cocktails, this month’s lineup is tailored for relaxed hosting, garden get-togethers and toasting the last bank holiday of the season.
Whether you’re on the hunt for vibrant white wines, indulgent reds, or chilled Prosecco to pop open with friends, think of Wine Rack as your go-to for premium yet accessible drinks. We’ve rounded up the best of what’s new in store, plus a cocktail that brings the warmth of rum into your glass. Let’s raise one last glass to summer.
August’s featured cocktail delivers a tropical escape in every sip. The Pining for Rum blends golden rum with pineapple juice, lime, and a splash of soda, served over ice with a mint garnish. It’s the ideal refresher for late summer evenings or a long weekend unwind.
To recreate it at home, start with a smooth white or golden rum, or elevate it with a dash of Cointreau Liqueur 5cl; now available in a convenient new miniature size. Its orange zest adds a punch of citrus that lifts the whole drink. This easy, flavour-packed cocktail is also a great way to impress guests at a barbecue or enjoy a quieter moment as the sun sets.
Pair it with grilled pineapple skewers or spicy jerk chicken for a full flavour experience; proof that great cocktails don’t have to be complicated.
Make space in your fridge for convenience without compromise. Wine Rack’s latest additions include popular spirits and premium lagers in more flexible sizes; perfect for smaller gatherings, travel packs, or trying something new:
