Meghan Markle<\/a>\u00a0has shared another gushing post to promote her wine – as it still hasn’t sold out more than two weeks after it first launched.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, released her 2024 Napa Valley Rose on August 5 – but more than two weeks later, it is still available to buy on the website of her lifestyle brand, As ever.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

By contrast, Meghan’s 2023\u00a0ros\u00e9 sold out within an hour when it launched last month.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the team at As ever shared another clip of the wine, crediting it as being Meghan’s ‘favourite pour’ and stating it’s only ‘available for a limited time’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In what made for typically aesthetic viewing, they filmed pouring the vibrant wine into a glass, with Meghan’s wicker basket and hat in the background.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Cheers to summer\u2019s final sips,’ the caption read, adding: ‘Fill your glass with our founder\u2019s favorite pour, available for a limited time.’<\/p>\n

The post appears to be an attempt to boost sales after it failed to match the quick sell-out of the 2023 wine’s launch – and comes amid news of Meghan and Harry’s Netflix deal being ‘downgraded’ to a ‘first look’ deal<\/a> when it expires later this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Buyers must purchase a minimum of three bottles of wine, which retail for $30 each.\u00a0Six bottles cost $159 (\u00a3119) including a 12 per cent discount, and 12 bottles are $300 (\u00a3225) including 17 per cent off.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meghan Markle has shared another gushing post to promote her wine – as it still hasn’t sold out more than two weeks after it first launched. Pictured in the trailer for the second season of her Netflix show<\/p>\n

Combined with the $20 shipping cost, plus taxes, anyone looking to buy the wine is faced with a minimum spend of more than $110.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When the 2023 version came out on July 1, the wine went on sale at 4pm UK time, but the site was updated less than hour later to signal stocks were sold out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 2024 wine is described as evoking the same ‘soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality and a lasting finish’ as the 2023 ros\u00e9 – but it clearly packs less of a punch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a new ‘multi-year, first look deal for film and television projects’ with Netflix – a downgrade on their previous contract.<\/p>\n

The couple’s new output will include a second season of the Duchess’s ‘With Love, Meghan’ lifestyle show later this month, as well as a Christmas<\/a>\u00a0special in December.<\/p>\n

The new arrangement is a first-look deal, meaning Netflix can say yes or no to new film or TV projects before anyone else.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Sussexes are also working on ‘Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within’ – a documentary about orphaned children in Uganda, where the ‘shadows of the HIV<\/a>\/Aids crisis linger’.<\/p>\n

There is also ‘active development’ on other projects with Netflix which ‘span a variety of content genres’, including an adaptation of romantic novel Meet Me At The Lake.<\/p>\n

The pale pink wine, which comes in a clear bottle with a white, gold-rimmed label, has an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 13.5 per cent \u2013 1 per cent lower than its predecessor<\/p>\n

Netflix has already released the first series of With Love, Meghan as well as Polo, Heart of Invictus, Live to Lead and the couple’s bombshell documentary Harry & Meghan as well as being a business partner on Meghan’s lifestyle brand, As Ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Five years ago, Harry and Meghan secured a lucrative contract thought to be worth $100million (\u00a374million) with Netflix after quitting as senior working royals<\/a>\u00a0in 2020.<\/p>\n

The renewed deal was described by the Sussexes – who made the announcement with Netflix – as ‘extending their creative partnership’ through Archewell Productions.<\/p>\n

But the new terms are understood to be worth less for Harry and Meghan than their previous contract, according to a person familiar with the deal, and represent Netflix loosening its ties with the couple.<\/p>\n

Leading publicist\u00a0Mark Borkowski told the Daily Mail: ‘They have shot the golden goose of 2020 – more of a ‘we’ll call you’ than ‘here’s the chequebook’. It’s a first-look deal, which means Netflix gets first dibs but no obligation to bankroll every semi-royal whim.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I reckon Netflix is trimming fat industry-wide, so this is less carte blanche, more curated cameo.<\/p>\n

‘They’re still in business together – Meghan’s. As ever brand and seasonal specials keep them in the Netflix shop window but make no mistake, this is a slimmed-down sequel to the blockbuster original. So Harry and Meghan’s new Netflix chapter [is] less champagne budget, more Prosecco by the glass.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Netflix said Harry & Meghan, which came out in December 2022, was a huge success with a total of 23.4million views, making it the most viewed documentary ever through its first four days and reaching the English Top 10 TV list in 85 countries.<\/p>\n

But With Love, Meghan failed to break into Netflix’s top ten programmes – or even the top 300, as it ranked at number 383 in 2025 so far for the streaming giant with just 5.3million viewers across the globe since it was first broadcast in March.<\/p>\n

However, the Duchess said: ‘We’re proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As ever brand.<\/p>\n

‘My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision.’<\/p>\n

Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s chief content officer, said: ‘Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere.<\/p>\n

‘The response to their work speaks for itself – Harry & Meghan gave viewers an intimate look into their lives and quickly became one of our most-watched documentary series.<\/p>\n

‘More recently, fans have been inspired by With Love, Meghan, with products from the new As ever line consistently selling out in record time.<\/p>\n

‘We’re excited to continue our partnership with Archewell Productions and to entertain our members together.’<\/p>\n

Meanwhile a new trailer for the second season of With Love, Meghan was released\u00a0 last week and showed Meghan hosting a fresh batch of celebrities and influencers at the rented California<\/a>\u00a0house close to her and Prince Harry’s Montecito mansion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As Ever is Meghan’s lifestyle brand \u2013 previously known as American Riviera Orchard – which launched in March and also sells cookie mix, tea, flower sprinkles and jams.<\/p>\n

In the one-minute, 27-second teaser, Meghan is seen eating cheese, prepping snacks and drinks with friends and even reveals the food her husband Prince Harry<\/a> doesn’t like.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Do you know who doesn’t like lobster? My husband,’ she says as she prepares the seafood.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the trailer comes to an end, Meghan reveals: ‘I love these moments of discovery and beauty. So let’s be curious together.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meghan’s As ever website describes her ros\u00e9 wine as ‘thoughtfully curated by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex’ and that it has been ‘made to be enjoyed with the ones you love’.<\/p>\n

The pale pink wine, which comes in a clear bottle with a white, gold-rimmed label, has an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 13.5 per cent \u2013 1 per cent lower than its predecessor.<\/p>\n

In an Instagram post following her birthday, Meghan said she was ‘blowing out the candles on a beautiful 24 hours’ and thanked her husband, friends and family for ‘making it so special’<\/p>\n

The Daily Mail revealed in June that the 2023 wine used grapes from the Fairwinds estate so Meghan could show her support <\/a>after the winery was almost destroyed in a devastating wildfire in 2020 which caused $15million worth of damage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Duchess was shown drinking ros\u00e9 during the last episode of her Netflix series With Love, Meghan earlier this year when she offered chef Alice Waters a glass of wine.<\/p>\n

‘Would you like a glass of ros\u00e9 while we’re cooking?’ the duchess said, pouring from a bottle which does not appear to be As Ever wine, having a different label.<\/p>\n

Meghan added as she drank: ‘Might be the best sip of wine I’ve ever had.’<\/p>\n

In a belated Instagram post following her birthday this month, Meghan said she was ‘blowing out the candles on a beautiful 24 hours’ and thanked her husband, friends and family for ‘making it so special’.<\/p>\n

‘To those of you I don’t know, but who send love every day – thank you so much. Please know I feel it and appreciate it,’ she captioned the post alongside a heart emoji.<\/p>\n
