If you’re a fan of wine, then you know that picking the right pairing for your wine of choice for the night, is the second most important ingredient for a good night. The first, of course, is the type of wine. Cannabis is a great option if you are looking to spice up your routine, of course still having snacks around is never a bad idea. As always when it comes to consuming cannabis products, it is really important to monitor your consumption, especially when paired with alcohol. Taking less, in the same way you would edibles, is especially a good idea if you are new to cannabis products as alcohol will increase the time THC is in your system.
The first thing you have to consider with this pairing, is the kind of wine you are feeling for the night. White wines with sometimes either dry or sweet characteristics, and a fruity crispiness, are perfect for lighter citrusy sativas/sativa dominant hybrids; such as Pineapple Lemonade. Cannabis with limonene terpenes are a great choice since they are on the citrus side.
However, for bold red wines, with a variety of dark fruit flavors (blackberry, plum) and flavors like cinnamon and cloves; indicas/indica dominant hybrids are perfect. Picking flower with more of a dark fruit and earthy aroma is perfect for reds. Potmates has a great selection of options including: Tiramisu, Crazy Cat Lady, and Pink Rozay. Rosés are very versatile and can really be used with any number of cannabis products because they have more neutral flavors. If you really want to try the cannabis and wine combination, but maybe aren’t a big drinker, then a new product, cannabis infused wine, is perfect for you. The process to create wine that has been infused with cannabis is not a simple one, but the result is well worth it. House of Saka, one of the first companies to really be at the forefront of wine infused cannabis, had produced a nonalcoholic THC and CBD infused rosé that is quite delicious. Everyone receives the high effects from marijuana differently, so Saka and Rebel, two cannabis wine companies, focus on creating an experience and drink that will work for everyone. Soon, cannabis wine might just be the new way of drinking wine.
