What is flavored wine?

Grape wine blended or infused with real fruit character — peach, blackberry, mango, strawberry, pineapple. It's lighter and sweeter than standard wine, with softer tannins and usually less alcohol, which makes it an easy entry point for people who find dry wine harsh.

How much alcohol is in flavored wine?

Less than most table wine. Stella Rosa runs about 5–8% ABV and Arbor Mist around 6%, compared to 12–14% for a typical dry wine. That's a big part of why these bottles drink so easily.

Is Stella Rosa the same as Moscato?

Not quite. Stella Rosa is a semi-sweet, lightly fizzy Italian wine brand that makes many fruit flavors; Moscato is a specific grape. Some Stella Rosa bottles are Moscato-based, but the range also includes reds and rosés built on other grapes.

How should flavored wine be served?

Cold — around 45°F, colder than you'd serve a dry wine. Chilling keeps the fruit crisp instead of syrupy. It's great on its own over ice, in sangria, or topped with soda for a spritz.
