The Sonoma wine beverages are gluten-free, and they can be found in packs of four. Colony Cocktails co-founder Co-Founder Jessica Miller says: "Our brand was inspired by the small connections we would make over meals when we traveled. The small talk with strangers at the next table or, better yet, at a communal table or even with the restaurant staff, was incredibly impactful." This sense of community is conveyed through a trio of destination-inspired flavors: The Biarritz, The Tangier and The Charleston. The launch of these [gluten-free aperitifs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-is-skinny) kicks off the brand's philanthropic program, Sip to Give. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Wine-based Canned Cocktails:** The rise of wine-based canned cocktails presents an opportunity for alcohol and beverage companies to expand their product offerings and increase convenience for consumers. - **Gluten-free Alcoholic Beverages:** The increasing demand for gluten-free options presents an opportunity for beverage companies to cater to this demographic and expand their market share. - **Destination-inspired Flavors:** The use of destination-inspired flavors could be a unique selling point for beverage companies looking to differentiate themselves in the market and attract adventurous consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Alcohol Industry:** The alcohol industry can leverage the trend of wine-based canned cocktails by introducing their own product lines to expand their offerings and increase sales. - **Beverage Industry:** Beverage companies can take advantage of the trend of gluten-free alcoholic beverages by catering to this niche demographic and differentiating themselves from competitors. - **Travel & Tourism Industry:** The use of destination-inspired flavors in canned cocktails can be a unique way for travel and tourism companies to promote their destinations and create a sense of adventure for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Premium Ready-to-Drink Craft Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spirited-hive.md) - [Freshly Squeezed Fruit Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craftwell-cocktails.md) - [Mixologist-Made Cocktail Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canned-tequila-cocktails.md) - [Cocktail-Inspired Wine Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-cocktail-collection.md) - [Crafty Canned Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafty-canned-cocktail.md) - [Mixologist-Grade Canned Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/be-canned-cocktails.md) - [Wine-Based Canned Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picnic-brunch.md) - [Ready-to-Drink Boxed Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/next-round-cocktails.md) - [Transparent Ingredient Spritzers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spritz-society.md)
