Marks & Spencer is suing Aldi for allegedly copying its ‘Light Up’ gin just months after the supermarket rivals faced off over caterpillar cakes.

M&S has filed court papers that say that Aldi’s gold flake blackberry and clementine gin liqueurs are “strikingly similar” to the Light Up gin it sold last Christmas and for which it holds a registered design.
