Wha Gwan Glidin has been announced by the Caribbean-inspired drinks brand as a new libation that packs a punch when it comes to flavor, while also providing a more approachable alternative to sparkling wines.
The product features the brand's Melon Cherry Rum Tonic paired with sparkling Glera wine to prioritize ample flavor in every effervescent sip. The drink features an 8% ABV and is arriving in the UK at a price point between £2.99 and £3.99 per bottle. The beverage comes packaged in beer-style bottles to give it a decidedly more approachable profile when compared to other sparkling wines on the market.
Founder David Mills spoke further on the Wha Gwan Glidin saying, "We’ve been working on Glidin for over a year, so we’re extremely excited for the market to get their hands on it and see something a bit different from Wha Gwan. UK manufacturing has limited resources for bottling in Champagne/Prosecco like bottles and with Brexit driving up the cost for importing and exporting, we decided to think outside of the box to make something special which is how we came about bottling Glidin in a bottle that is usually associated with beer."
