Perdeberg Wines recently launched South Africa’s first wine-based seltzer using their popular Lighthearted wine range as the base product/ingredient. It’s a delicious low alcohol and low sugar and calories drink with refreshing fruit flavours and no artificial colouring – the perfect pour on warm days and as we make the most of the weather before winter sets in.
It’s also fast becoming a preferred beverage as it blends seltzer (soda) water, alcohol (wine) and flavouring to create a gluten-free, lower-alcohol beverage (4.5%-7% abv) that contains only 74-75 calories (significantly less than other local offerings at 100 calories or more) and packaged in a sustainable slimline can with an Insta-worthy label.
This May, we’ll all celebrate our moms and the mother figures in our lives early in the month, but our friends at the wine estate believe that we should take this opportunity to raise a glass of Perdeberg Lighthearted Wine-based Seltzer in their honour every day this coming month.
If you’re at a loss for how to celebrate your mom, Perdeberg has compiled a list of 8 ways to celebrate her on 8 May and throughout the month – all to be enjoyed with her favourite local seltzer:
- Manicures and pedicures: Set up a home pamper station or book her in at her favourite spa. While she’s having her pedi, hand her a magazine and fill her glass.
- Make flower crowns for the matriarch of the family, Her Royal Mumness: A flower crown is not only the latest accessory, but also a wonderful way to spend time with her and an opportunity to get crafty with flowers from her garden or your closest florist.
- The Mother’s Day Meander: spend the day doing all the things she loves but often cannot find the time to do and finish off in your garden with a Perdeberg Seltzer reflecting on the day. Visit Perdeberg Cellar, pop in to see friends or consider a walk along a beach or in a forest. They are all lovely ways to connect and spend time together.
- Lunch is on the family: if you cannot make it to Perdeberg for lunch in May, a home cooked meal is the next best thing. Lovingly prepare her favourite meal and wait on her for the day – we know she does that for all of us everyday.
- Garden goals: If she has a garden that she loves, visit a nursery together in the morning and find a few new additions to add to the garden or pop in an indoor planter or pot for a balcony. She’ll think of you and your day spent together every time she waters or prunes her foliage.
- Family photo album: Today, we have so many photos on our phones or on social media platforms. Select your favourites and have them printed, then spend an afternoon putting an album together. It’s a wonderful way to reminisce and share a laugh or loving moment.
- Schedule a family Zoom meeting with long-distance loved ones: Many families are now scattered across the globe and over the last two years, we’ve relied on video calls to stay in touch. Set a time aside that works for everyone – taking different time zones into account – and host an online ‘Canapés and Catch up’ night. Everyone prepares their favourite snacks and chills their favourite seltzer while catching up from the comfort of their own homes.
- Homemade coupons: As much as we want to celebrate Mother’s Day on 8 May and every day in May, we also understand that time runs away from us so prepare a coupon book that Mom can redeem whenever she needs. Ideas could include: a walk with you; an evening off from cooking; a manicure; someone to help with the groceries or a shoulder massage by little loving hands after a long day at her desk.
With a myriad of low alcohol options on the shelves to choose from, Perdeberg Lighthearted Wine-based Seltzer ticks all the boxes. Available in two refreshing flavours, mixed berries and lemon and lime, it’s ideal for a family gathering on Mother’s Day and any other day. Currently available to purchase from selected liquor outlets nationwide, wine.co.za, Perdeberg’s online wine shop or at the Perdeberg Cellar tasting room.
