Wine-based cocktails can be a great alternative to traditional mixed drinks as they are low in alcohol, lighter and more approachable. The versatility of wine cocktails ranges from bubbly and fruity to herbaceous and complex, and appeals to a wide range of palates. What’s more, fresh ingredients and unique flavor combinations all help position wine cocktails as a trendy and fun choice for social gatherings and special occasions.
