About FUN WINE®

Headquartered in Miami, The Fun Wine Company has received multiple awards for innovation, novel flavors, design, and packaging. The Company currently markets a new category of low-alcohol, low-calorie, all-natural, sparkling drinks produced by the largest wine group in Europe. With 5.5% ABV and all-natural monk fruit juice as a substitute for sugar, FUN WINE has only 59 calories in a 5 oz. glass of wine. Monk fruit was historically grown in China by monks, has no calories or carbs, and has hundreds of times the sweetness of sugar. It is also a wonderful flavor enhancer.

FUN WINE is built on four pillars: Flavor, Innovation, Price, and Art. Focused on eliminating the pretense often associated with traditional wine, FUN WINE makes wine fun for every drinking age while keeping prices affordable for mass appeal. It is available in a portfolio of delicious, all-natural, sparkling flavors, including Strawberry Rose Moscato, Peach Passion Moscato, Coconut Pineapple Chardonnay, Cappuccino Chardonnay, Espresso Cabernet, and Sangria. All flavors come packaged in pop graffiti 750 ml glass bottles and 330 ml aluminum bottles designed by Latin Grammy Artist Miguel Paredes. All FUN WINE bottles are recyclable.
