The line contains the Dolce Sweet Red Blend and the [Moscato Sweet White Blend](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blood-orange-spritz), both 9.5% ABV wines that tap into consumer desire for everyday celebration.

The Dolce Sweet Red Blend is touted as a decadently sweet semi-sparkling wine that's full of berry flavors that mingle with notes of cherry vanilla. The [Ménage à Trois Moscato](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-sauvignon-blanc), on the other hand, is said to be satisfyingly sweet with notes of juicy peach and tropical fruit.

Mark Dunlea, vice president, marketing for Ménage à Trois wines, says: "Our research has confirmed what we've long believed – consumers are looking for occasions to indulge and treat themselves."
