(PD) - Sonoma winery introduces cannabis-infused wine

Rebel Coast Winery of Sonoma has introduced a non-alcoholic wine infused with THC, the principal psychoactive chemical in cannabis.

The winery’s sauvignon blanc is infused with 20 milligrams of THC, which equals 5 mg per glass. It also will be touted as a low-calorie drink at 35 calories per glass.

Licensed dispensaries in California will be the only retail outlets that will sell the wine, priced at $60 per bottle.

The grapes for the wine were sourced in Sonoma County and the alcohol was removed from the wine. Ebbu, a Colorado-based cannabis company, then added a cannabinoid solution to the drink.

“Rebel Coast Winery wanted to make sure consumers could enjoy themselves and have confidence that they wouldn’t overdo it with THC,” said Chip Forsythe, Rebel Coast co-founder and winemaker, in a statement.
