Following our official/unofficial “Damp January” announcement, we’re going to keep low on the ABVs this week. Here are some fun options if you’re looking for something on the lighter side, or even if you want to stock up ahead of next month. The running theme is long on flavor, short on heat!
Ciders
Wild Arc Cans ($10) (7% abv) These tart green sippers come with a crisp bite. Apples!
Andi Weigand ($22) (6% abv) This one is a bit easier to share (or hey, more for you) and very, very drinkable.
Whites
Banyan Gewurztraminer ($16) (11% abv) Perfectly paired with spiced foods and packed with flavors of ripe fruit and honeysuckle.
Rosé
Joao Pato Rosa Duck Pet Nat ($22) (10.5%) Peaches and grapefruit, carried by a gentle fizz.
Terroir Sonoro el Impostor 500ml ($16) (10%) Tart and tangy, with a taste of cherry and strawberry.
Reds
Bojo do Luar Deu Bode ($19) (11%) Rich, ripe, and floral.
Jutta Ambrositsch Rakete ($26) (11.5%) Light and vibrant, with notes of fruit, violets, and minerals. Shake resolutely, drink chilled.
