With an ABV of 4.5%, varieties include Blueberry and Hibiscus, Strawberry and Pink Pepper, and Raspberry, Lychee & Rose. It is available to convenience retailers now with an RRP of £2 per can.

The supplier said that the drinks are aimed at those cutting back on their alcohol intake, with the trend for hard seltzers booming as a lighter alternative to traditional drinks such as beer or wine.

It predicts that hard seltzers will likely witness the highest growth rate within the UK’s ready-to-drink category over the next five years.

Combined with an increased demand for no- and low-alcohol products, we’re confident that our light Rosé Seltzers will prove popular with UK shoppers.
