Whether you’re looking for the perfect bottle of vino for a housewarming gift, wedding toast or simply to unwind each night, you have thousands of options to choose from: red, white, sparkling, dessert and now, CBD wine? That’s right — this natural compound has made its way into almost every product you can think of, including your nightcap, and for good reason.

Whether you prefer CBD Edibles like CBD Gummies and CBD Oil, or another type of CBD product, CBD may encourage calmness and relaxation, increase comfort, provide overall balance and more when taken in the right dose. And you don’t even have to be a sommelier to recognize the difference that a serving of CBD can make in your nightly pour. Continue reading to learn about CBD wine and find two unique recipes that will transform any average bottle of vino into a calming cocktail.

How is CBD Wine Made?

CBD Wine can be made in a few ways: infused during fermentation by the winemaker, infused after purchase using CBD flower or added via tincture after being poured (the simplest and most versatile option). Each version will slightly alter the taste and intensity of the effects.

Adding CBD Tincture to your glass of wine offers you the freedom to customize your serving size or complement your wine with unique flavors. Hemp Bombs® offers five potencies, ranging from 300mg to 5000mg, and five flavors: Acai Berry, Chocolate Mint, Orange Creamsicle, Peppermint and Watermelon. Not to mention, we also feature a Natural Hemp option that fits seamlessly with any wine selection, offering a subtle earthy flavor.

What are the Benefits of CBD Wine?

Both CBD and some variations of wine have their own sets of benefits for your mind and body. CBD shows potential for stress and anxiety relief, enhanced comfort and overall wellness. Likewise, red wine is produced from antioxidant-rich grapes found to support heart health, reduce oxidative stress, decrease inflammation and more when used in moderation (about one glass a day for women and two for men).

However, both products are incredibly relaxing, and these effects may intensify when taken together. Nonetheless, CBD may help curb some of the after-effects of indulging in wine, including easing discomfort and helping you wake up refreshed the next morning.

Can You Drink Wine When Taking CBD Oil?

As mentioned, both CBD and wine have highly calming effects that may cause drowsiness. And when taken together, these feelings may be exacerbated, which can be overwhelming for some individuals. We suggest trying CBD Wine for the first time in a comfortable environment when you will not need to drive or complete complex motor tasks.

How Much CBD Should I Add to My Wine?

CBD Oil offers the freedom to adjust your serving size, so it is the best option for those who know exactly how much CBD they need. With pre-made CBD Wine, you lose control of your intake and may end up drinking too much (or too little) wine to meet your needs.
