Whether you\u2019re committing to reducing your alcohol intake after two years of pandemic-fueled palate enrichment or looking for a lighter beverage alternative to beat the heat and still feel great in the morning, we\u2019ve got you covered. Low-alcohol wines are great for summer sipping, and the best part is, you don\u2019t have to compromise flavor to enjoy life on the lighter side of wine.<\/p>

Best Low-Alcohol Wines to Drink and Share this Summer<\/h3>

Here is our curated collection of low-alcohol wines, plus a few ideas to lighten up your wine experience this summer.<\/p>

Vinho Verde<\/strong><\/p>

Vinho Verde is a style of Portuguese white wine produced from grapes that aren\u2019t allowed to ripen fully. The resulting wine is low in alcohol and sugar and usually slightly fizzy because it\u2019s bottled with a bit of CO2 left in the bottle. Vinho Verde translates literally to \u201cgreen wine\u201d due to the nature of the winemaking process. It\u2019s crisp, balanced, light, and delicious, which is why it\u2019s our favorite summer sipper. Best of all, it\u2019s usually about 9% ABV so it won\u2019t weigh you down. Enjoy it on the patio with good friends or poolside with slices of fresh melon or white stilton to munch on. It\u2019s equally as good with a crisp salad and all kinds of summer fare.<\/p>

Moscato D\u2019Asti<\/strong><\/p>

This lightly fizzy wine is also quite sweet, but you\u2019ll love the aromatics. The nose bursts with honeysuckle and wildflowers, making for a delightful confection that clocks in at about 5% ABV. If you\u2019re avoiding sugar as well as alcohol, try mixing your Asti with your favorite sparkling mineral water or club soda and a slice of lemon. Moscato is delightful with fresh berries, so be sure to have a bowlful close at hand.<\/p>

Riesling<\/strong><\/p>

Riesling<\/a><\/span> isn\u2019t always sweet, but those that are lower in alcohol generally are a bit sweeter. Choose a Kabinett selection from Germany\u2019s Mosel region. If you can find a single vineyard bottle, you\u2019ll be pleasantly surprised by aromas of fresh strawberries, rose petals, and lemon drop. Riesling ABV typically falls between 9-11%, and though they can be sweet on the lower end of that scale, riesling\u2019s high natural acidity balances out the sugar nicely. Enjoy with anything from charcuterie to cheeses, Caprese salad, tabouleh, falafel, or anything you fancy.<\/p>

Gamay<\/strong><\/p>

Gamay is a light-bodied red wine that does remarkably well with a little chill on it in the summer. Choose one from Beaujolais or the Loire Valley regions of France, or try one made by carbonic maceration. Gamay is low in tannin, easy-drinking, fruity, fresh, and highly quaffable. Put your gamay in the fridge for about 30 minutes before enjoying for maximum summertime enjoyment. As for pairing summer fare with gamay, you can\u2019t go wrong with grilled veggies, chicken, or even spicy sausages.<\/p>
