No, that’s not a typo — thanks to the good sorts at Revel Coast Winery THC wine is now a reality. Before you get too excited and start praising the ganja gods for this miraculous gift, let’s understand what exactly it is we’re dealing with here.
A Sauvignon Blanc Unlike Any Other

Wine is made from fermented grapes, and while Rebel Coast’s THC wine started life from this traditional ingredient, we have a little bit of bad news for you. In California, it is illegal to mix alcohol and THC, meaning that this wine doesn’t actually have any alcohol in it. Rebel Coast was still able to create a nice flavor that mirrors a crisp white wine but contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume.
“No alcohol, no hangover and best of all, only 35 calories per glass,” said Chip Forsythe, Rebel Coast Co-Founder & Winemaker in a press release. “Rebel Coast Winery wanted to make sure consumers could enjoy themselves and have confidence that they wouldn’t overdo it with THC. The HydroPS infusion technology by ebbu makes that possible.”
The fermented grapes are grown in Sonoma County vineyards, a region known for its perfect cultivation climate and distinct terroir. The alcohol is removed and THC extract is added using HydroPS technology, a water-soluble solution created by ebbu that is added to products to infuse them with cannabinoids.
The result? A THC wine with bright citrus and a crisp clean finish with 20 mg of THC infused into each bottle. This breaks down to roughly 5 mg per glass which is not particularly strong — as a guide, California permits up to 10mg per edibles serving. For most tolerance levels, one serving of this Sauvignon Blanc will get you just as inebriated as a traditional glass of wine, as the goal is to get you feeling loose and happy.
Supplying the Demand for THC Wine

Rather than finding Rebel Coast’s cannabis wine on the shelves of your favorite liquor store, California law requires it to be sold at a dispensary just like any other cannabis edible or beverage. While several shops in Southern California were featuring the wine among their product list, it now seems to be out of stock for the foreseeable future.
According to the winery’s website, creating a THC-infused wine is incredibly difficult and time-consuming. Not only does Rebel Coast have to deal with the traditional facets of making an adult beverage, but additional cannabis rules and regulations apply, meaning that their product has to meet an intense set of checks and balances before it can be sold. However, demand has been so high that the winery has priced their bottle at $60 and even then cannot seem to keep up with sales.
Given that cannabis is such a highly regulated product, only those in California will be able to try this unique THC wine. If you’re lucky enough to live in the state, it’s only a matter of time before the team will crank out more bottles, but in the meantime, you can always pair your favorite alcoholic wine with some of your favorite flower. The only downside? You may end up with a hangover which, as Rebel Coast is quick to state, THC wine won’t do to you.
Ultimately this news is beyond exciting for cannabis lovers, as the ways in which we can partake in our beloved pastime are becoming more creative and even more mainstream. Keep your eyes out for Rebel Coast’s wine in a California dispensary near you!
