At a time when hard seltzer is in high demand, Del Mar Wine Seltzer is entering the category with a mission to challenge popular malt-based seltzers. The light and refreshing wine-based seltzers are made in Napa Valley from premium California grapes and are offered in flavors like Black Cherry, Grapefruit, White Peach and Watermelon. The products can be purchased in slim, 355-milliliter cans, which come in at just 4% ABV and boast simple ingredients, natural flavors and no added sugar.
The 95-calorie products were created with wellness in mind and each variety promises a unique flavor experience. While the Grapefruit variety, made from California Rosé wine, offers hints of rose, the white wine-based Black Cherry flavor includes lavender.
