Locally produced cannabinoid-infused wines launched
Two first-ever locally produced cannabinoid (compounds found in cannabis)-infused wines were launched during an exclusive intimate setting at the Corner Shop in Waterkloof, east of Pretoria, on Tuesday evening.
“I’m sure this wine will take off, it’s a wellness wine after all,” wine connoisseur Charles McMullen said, adding a major retailer had also shown interest in the wine.
However, the batches of red and white wine were made in a limited batch. “We’ve only had 4 000 bottles of each wine made,” he said.
McMullen explained the idea for the cannabinoid-infused wine stemmed from an elderly man and his son who were in possession of legal cannabinoid oil. The father and son then started the operation with a good friend of McMullen’s who also happened to be a Cape wine-master to create the first-ever locally produced cannabinoid-infused wine.
“The people here tonight were among the very first to taste it,” he said. The two wines, Dacha Ana Noba (red) and Dacha Nuna (white) were expected to be sold as Christmas gifts.
