Aldi has unveiled the limited-edition version of its already-popular Rebrobates Red Wine just in time for Halloween.
The Reprobates Ghouliburra Red has a new glow-in-the-dark label - perfect for any spooky party.
By day it may look like your average bottle of wine, but at night, a vibrant, glowing skeleton is visible - ready to light up the room.
According to the supermarket giant, the red wine is "a smooth, medium-bodied Australian blend" with red berry aromas, complemented by oaky vanilla and chocolate notes.

And for those who are fans of the original Reprobates, Aldi has introduced a 1.5L box version - the equivalent of two bottles.
It's priced at only £13.99 and is ideal for a Halloween party this year.
It comes as Aldi launched their "most divisive product of 2024" just in time for Halloween.
The supermarket uploaded a video showing off their new Monster Munch Mayo that has arrived in stores ahead of Halloween.

In a clip, an Aldi staff member said: “The most divisive product of 2024 has landed at Aldi.

“We've got our new, scarily good Heinz Monster Munch Mayo.”
They then asked team members whether they were “Team Monster Munch Mayo or Team Absolutely No Wayo?”
One said: “Pickled onion flavour is my favourite Munch Munch crisps, so I'm going to give this a go just because they're my favourite crisps.”
Another said: “Oh, my God—10 out of 10. I need to try this!”
However, others weren’t as sold.
One said: “It's an interesting concept, and I'd probably try it once, but maybe not again.”
A second added:” I think I'll stick with normal mayo.”
Aldi shoppers also took to the comments to share their views on the launch.
One said: “Has anyone tried this? I’m tempted but scared.”
And one wrote: “This sounds rank.”
Some Aldi shoppers who had already tried it raved about the taste.

One commented: “Brought it today, was shocked, it tastes just like the crisps, will be great with chips or on a ham sarnie.”
And one agreed: “It’s absolutely lush.”
How to save on Halloween
CUT-OUTS WON’T KEEP: Once carved, pumpkins last just three to five days before they start to rot. So wait until a day or two before Halloween to carve yours, to ensure you won’t have to buy a replacement.
CHILLING CARVINGS: Carve your pumpkin right first time. Download free templates from Hobbycraft to help ensure no slip-ups.
DEVILISHY CHEAP DECORATIONS: Create spooky spider webs using old string or rope.
PAY LESS FOR FACE PAINTS: Cut costs by using your old eyeliners and eyeshadows, and dab on some talc when you need a ghostly white shade.
CUT-PRICE CANDY: Before you buy sweets to give out as treats, clear out your cupboards and see what you have. If you need more, shop bulk deals and compare the price per kilo before you buy.
PETRIFYING POT LUCK: Ask your guests to each bring a delicious themed dish to your party to keep hosting costs down.
SPINE-CHILLING TUNES: Turn to YouTube for a frighteningly good free playlist. There are dozens of channels with hour-long music mixes.
HOLD A SPOOKY SWISH: Swishing — or clothes-swapping with friends — is an easy way to get a new wardrobe. Hold a spooky swish before Halloween to trade costumes for kids and adults.
FRIGHTENING FREEBIES: Sign up for a free local Halloween event. Check your local Nextdoor or Facebook pages, or search eventbrite.co.uk for ideas.
BLOODY GOOD DEAL: Don’t fork out for expensive fake blood. Make your own edible version instead. You can use it for cakes and to decorate costumes.
SHOP ON NOV 1: Be organised and bag the bargains for next year by hitting the shops the day after Halloween. Remember to buy your kids’ costumes a size larger to allow for growth.
