The season of all things pumpkin is rapidly approaching, which is why it unsurprising that one winery would begin offering pumpkin wine. Indeed, it seems that the consumer demand for pumpkin-flavored products is just as strong as ever.
The gourd-based vino is the work of Wisconsin's Three Lakes Winery, which originally created the autumnal drink for the fall season. However, the pumpkin wine proved so popular that it is now available year-round for the reasonable price of $12.95 per bottle. According to the brand, the drink is only wine "actually made only from pie pumpkins" and boasts "similar qualities of a traditional Chardonnay." The result is a smooth, semi-sweet wine that is perfect for pleasing a crowd of pumpkin lovers.
