Lambrini and Denise Van Outen turn up the volume with Pride single

Lambrini and Denise Van Outen turn up the volume with Pride single

Perry brand Lambrini and Denise Van Outen are celebrating the LGBTQ+ community with the launch of a new single.

As part of the "Bring the Brini" campaign, Lambrini has worked with Denise to create the music video for her track, "From New York to LA", which is out now, to support London Pride (2 July).


The video is a colourful, proud display of self-expression to honour Pride and features a cast of LGBTQ+ dancers, extras and drag queens. Lambrini bottles and a "Bring the Brini" neon sign feature in the video to drive awareness of ‘Bring the Brini’ and the partnership with Denise.

"From New York to LA" is a camp and fabulous cover of Patsy Gallant’s classic 1977 disco hit and features an extra special intro by Drag Race judge Michelle Visage.

Lambrini currently holds 60 per cent of the Perry category value and has a 26 per cen value share of the Perry and Flavoured Wine sector in the total market. This increases to 46 per cen of the Perry and Flavoured Wine sector in the impulse channel alone, highlighting the importance of the brand for convenience shoppers.

“We’re proud to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and join in with the festivities for London Pride with Denise," said Tom Smith, Marketing Director – Europe, at Accolade Wines. "The video runs alongside our ‘Bring the Brini’ campaign, which encourages our drinkers to embrace the everyday and themselves. Denise Van Outen embodies the carefree, fun-loving spirit of the brand and we hope she climbs the charts with the single.

“This campaign highlights the support we are putting behind Lambrini to drive a new brand perception and applaud our audience. We are putting Lambrini back on the radar for shoppers and the affordable brand has an important role to play in recruiting drinkers to the category.”

Denise Van Outen said: “I’ve always been a big supporter of Pride and I’m proud to be an LGBTQ+ ally for decades now. I wanted to shoot a video that was inclusive and something that everyone could enjoy and sing along to. It was great to collaborate with Lambrini on this feel-good dance record. I hope everyone enjoys Pride 2022 and has an amazing time this summer.”

Lambrini continues to grow in relevance as it meets the needs of alcohol drinkers making more mindful choices. At 6 per cent ABV, Lambrini offers drinkers a lighter alternative to sparkling wine, providing a perfect lower ABV companion for cocktail recipes or for those looking to moderate their consumption.

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

Sweet maker Swizzels has unveiled a brand-new limited-edition product in time for Valentine’s Day, combining two of its most-loved brands into one treat: Squashies Love Hearts.

Offering a fresh twist on two popular classics, the new Squashies Love Hearts combine Squashies’ signature soft texture with the iconic and timeless messages of Love Hearts.

Squashies remain the No. 1 sugar confectionery brand in the market, while Love Hearts see consistent growth, with 950,000 units sold during the Valentine’s period and a 10 per cent year-on-year growth in brand value. Building on this success, Swizzels has combined the two household names to create a fast-moving and profitable addition to any retailer’s offering.

Available in 120g bags and sold in cases of 12, each foam sweet is embossed with a fun message or emoji, making them ideal for sharing with a loved one. Messages include "KISS", "WOW", "FAB", and "LOVE", alongside two cheerful and romantic emojis, adding a playful touch.

With an MRSP of £1.15, the new product retains the classic colours and flavours of traditional Love Hearts, including Pineapple, Lime, Blackcurrant, Lemon, Cherry, and Orange.

Swizzels’ Love Hearts range remains a Valentine’s Day favourite, led by the popular 39g Giant Love Hearts rolls, which outsell any other Valentine’s SKU with 621,000 units sold during the season.



Other fan-favourites from the range include Love Hearts Originals Hanging Bags, the 15g mini Love Hearts rolls and Giant Love Hearts multipacks.

“We’re excited to introduce a delicious and innovative new product that combines two of our most popular brands, delivering the same moreish flavours and signature texture - with an added twist," said trade marketing manager Clare Newton.
