Bijou Launches Rosé in Asda Stores Amid UK Wine Category Growth
What happened
Southern French wine producer Bijou launched its Terre de Providence Rosé into Asda stores across the UK, priced at £9.50. The wine, made from Cinsault and Grenache, comes from sustainably farmed vineyards in the foothills of the Black Mountain. This launch occurs as French rosé continues to drive category growth in the UK off-trade, with volume sales rising 23% year-on-year, according to Nielsen.

Why it matters
The launch contributes to the ongoing growth of the French rosé segment in the UK retail market. The wine’s positioning and packaging, which uses a lightweight flute bottle, also align with sustainability goals in the supply chain. The introduction increases competitive pressure within the UK wine retail sector.
