Innovative Wine With Stemware to Fit, Perfect For Pride Season
Summer is Pride season and the time to break out the bubbly, chill your wine, and pick appropriate stemware to show off your tipple of choice.
We’re featuring an innovative adult beverage and pairing it with fine and fun glassware—one way to brighten up this Summer, and Pride season’s adult outing or LGBTQ+ BBQ or dinner party.
Get in the pink with FitVine Wine
FitVine Wine is making a name for itself with high-quality wellness wine—a new concept to us, but a real and growing trend. The newest addition to its innovative active bottle line, FitVine Bubbly Rosé, was recently launched, building on FitVine’s popular line of aluminum wine bottles, but with the same zero-sugar, full-alcohol quality wine the brand is known for. We tried this tipple and found it to be an easy-drinking, crisp, and refreshing bubbly rosé that is simply perfect for chilling and throwing in a picnic basket or backpack on the way to a Pride parade or tea dance, the beach or a backyard BBQ. There is a real benefit to packaging adult beverages in a lightweight, resealable, and unbreakable format, especially when you are on the go. The new Bubbly Rosé has notes of strawberry, peach and citrus, and really is the taste of Summer in a glass.
Unlike traditional glass bottles, FitVine’s aluminum bottles are lighter in weight, chill faster, and keep the wine cooler longer, making them ideal for outdoor adventures and poolside hangs. In addition to their practical benefits, these bottles are infinitely recyclable and reusable, reinforcing FitVine’s commitment to sustainability and offering consumers a choice they can feel good about.
The 2024 FitVine Bubbly Rosé (SRP $14.99) contains zero sugar, low tannins, and has less than 120 calories per glass. It’s crafted for those who want to enjoy wine at its full strength, but without sacrificing fitness levels. FitVine offers a complete portfolio of chillable red, zingy white, and classic sparkling varieties that perfectly match life’s active moments. Find out more here.
To show off the 2024 FitVine Bubbly Rosé, we chose a classic and yet innovative glass. Zwiesel Glas has a Level Wine Tumbler that we just tumbled for. This is innovative and stylish, practical and ergonomic glassware that shows off what is in the glass while preserving its temperature and bouquet. Note the flat, wide base and the tapered rim, perfect for a sparkling wine. This is glass of a high standard. Zwiesel Glas, established in 1872, is deeply rooted in the traditional glassmaking trade of the Bavarian Forest. The company’s products are prized by the world’s most discerning guests and finest hosts. Zwiesel Glas turns every moment into a special occasion.
Made with Tritan® crystal glass, this is both a stylistically casual glass and a very special one. The Level Wine Tumblers are available in white wine, red wine and sparkling wine sizes, and priced at $25.
Give your sparkler some sparkles
Now, if you’re looking for a sparkler in a traditional bottle, you must try FitVine’s Prosecco. Delicately bubbly with fruity, tropical, and floral scents, along with notes of ripe pear, green apple, citrus, and a mineral finesse, this sparkling wine is characterized by a vibrant palate, a clean, crisp finish, and a lower sugar content. Again, you can celebrate without worrying about your sugar intake. It’s perfect as an aperitif, and it’s also food-friendly, thanks to its dry, mineral complexity. Find out more about this bottle at FitVine Wine.
Now, to rizz this tipple up a little, we chose Dragon Glassware. The mission of this company is to design unique, bespoke drinkware that can’t be found anywhere else, make great gifts, and are perfect for those hard-to-shop-for family and friends or folks who want to inject a little fun into their lives.
Instead of sploshing your sparkling wine into stems this Pride, try the Aura Stemless Wine Glasses. These unique wine glasses feature a brilliant, sparkly, iridescent effect that makes them perfect for pictures, parties, and memories. The subtle rainbow color ensures these wine glasses sparkle in the light, making them a head turner and conversation starter. The convenient curved indentations both act as aerators and allow your thumb and fingers to rest for ultimate comfort—without accidents, which do happen. This is the brainchild of Matt Rollens, a former exec at a small ad agency, who embarked on a glass constructing journey and never looked back. Rollens identified a need in the specialty drinkware market, concluding there was a gap in barware embodying bold, modern designs. Indeed!
Happy Pride, everyone, and please do drink responsibly.
