In the upcycled low-alcohol beverage category, Ditto captures the attention of consumers with its pop of color and design-forward packaging. Its star product is made entirely from upcycled grapes.
During the pandemic, two childhood best friends—Jake and G.A.—entered a collaboration with a winemaker in Beaujolais and a winery in Napa. Their aim was to experiment with Piquettes which is "an ancient style of wine that dates back to ancient Greek and Roman times." Eventually, they arrived at a tasty upcycled low-alcohol beverage that utilized all-natural botanical extracts and real fruit juice.
At only 70 calories, zero grams of sugar, and 5% ABV, Ditto's Piquette Spritz is a light and refreshing drink that is blended with juicy red raspberries, a hint of zesty lemon juice, and botanicals.
