The Sparkke Change Beverage Company has launched a bubbly white wine in a can that makes a statement about marriage equality.
The company says White Wine Bubbles is a fruit-driven fizz in a can that wears the message ‘Say I Do!’ in support of marriage equality.
Headed up by a group of young women in Adelaide, Sparkke seeks to raise awareness and funds for the social causes it considers important to Australia through great beers, cider and wine.
Sparkke’s first offering has been created under the mentorship of Australia’s first Female Winemaker of the Year Rose Kentish.
Available in a slimline 250mL can, the bubbly white wine is fruit-driven, with attention to minerality, fresh acidity and texture, according to the company.
A special blend of back vintage wines is added to enhance complexity, it says.
Sparkke’s winemaker Sarah Lyons expands:
"We intentionally created a non-vintage wine so that year on year, we can maintain complexity and uniqueness."
Lyons says the can also serves to reduce the wastage that bottles can create, with approximately two restaurant/ bar serves of the fizz in one can.
Sparkke will also donate 10 per cent of all direct sales from the new drink to The Equality Campaign that lobbies to win equal marriage rights for Australians.
White Wine Bubbles is the fifth beverage launched by the Sparkke team, who have advocated for other social issues in the last year:
