PRODUCED BY: Black Stallion Estate Winery This wine is best served as an aperitif, with a very slight chill (under 70 F) and decanted or aerated.

Much like wine baths in the early aughts, beer baths have become a full-fledged staple in the world of wellness tourism, and the timing makes sense: With the rise of adaptogenic “social” RTDs, non-alcoholic aperitifs, and even hype-y insulated mugs for staying hydrated, the drinks-wellness Venn diagram often feels like a circle.

Just as easy to make as they are to enjoy, Spritzes are typically made with a liqueur, Prosecco , and a splash of soda water, creating something that’s not quite wine but not quite a cocktail, either.
