WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Aug. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Freixenet, the world’s #1 sparkling wine, today announces its entry into the ready-to-drink (RTD) category with the debut of Freixenet Solare Spritz. Striking the perfect balance between authentic Mediterranean flavors and the appeal of a hard seltzer, Freixenet invites consumers to “taste the sun” with every sip.
This innovation arrives at the perfect moment as American drinking habits rapidly evolve toward relaxed, lower-ABV daytime options. Moving past traditional spritz flavor profiles, this unique offering is a refreshing experience made with younger drinkers in mind. Freixenet Solare Spritz fills a clear whitespace on retail shelves, giving consumers the authentic, sophisticated spritz flavor they’ve been searching for.
“American drinking habits have fundamentally shifted, and today’s consumers are looking for elevated options that fit seamlessly into their everyday lifestyles,” said Lindsey Willey, Vice President of Marketing at Freixenet Mionetto USA. “With Freixenet Solare Spritz, we are creating a new flavor category that sets itself apart from the oversaturated RTD category. We wanted to give consumers a spritz rooted in Freixenet’s Mediterranean heritage that delivers a completely unique flavor without compromise.”
Crafted to capture the essence of a sun-soaked Mediterranean afternoon, Freixenet Solare Spritz is made with 100% natural Spanish lemon and clementine flavors. The blend is artfully infused with rosemary and thyme, adding a subtle, dry bitterness that balances the vibrant citrus notes. Offering a crisp, lighter alternative for mindful consumption, each can contains just 110 calories and 5% ABV.
Freixenet Solare Spritz will be available in a convenient 250ml slim can 4-pack with an SRP of $15.
