Rebel Coast Introduces THC-Infused, Alcohol-Free Wine
A California-based winery just announced the launch of a cannabis-infused wine. This is great news for wine and cannabis enthusiasts, as there’s no need to worry about mixing cannabis and drinking; this wine is also alcohol-free.
The company that is offering this wine, Rebel Coast Winery, grows all of its grapes in Sonoma County, California, and uses a traditional winemaking process to produce the product. After making a classic wine, the company then removes the alcohol and add in 16 mg of organic THC to each bottle. Apparently, the fusion of the cannabis terpenes and classic wine flavor is what gives the drink its special taste and aroma.
“If you’ve ever enjoyed a glass of wine or marijuana, you’re in luck,” Rebel Coast Co-Founder and CEO Chip Forsythe stated in a press release. “We’ve continued our disruptive approach to craft the world’s first cannabis-infused, alcohol-free wine. We wanted to excite the rebellious spirit in Americans through innovation, so we took two world-class California products – marijuana and wine – and created a proprietary process that resulted in a delicious, crisp and elegantly crafted Sauvignon Blanc that’s teed up to be a game changer for the wine and cannabis industries.”
The release also claims that they are the first to successfully make a cannabis-infused wine of good quality and flavor, after successfully removing the alcohol and infusing the wine with THC.
Starting in 2018, Rebel Coast’s Sauvignon Blanc will be available at select dispensaries in California, via Green Leaf Distributing. Eventually, the company also plans to offer a Rosé, a Champagne and medicinal wines with CBD only. They also plan to expand distribution to other legal states and into Canada.
THC cocktails are already a popular treat, so it makes sense that this is becoming a trend. Whether this new wine company stands the test of time, and whether more companies spring up offering infused beverages with the alcohol removed, remains to be seen, but many cannabis and wine lovers will surely be excited about the release of this product.
