The Strokes’ Albert Hammond Jr. Launches Jetway Wine Seltzer
05.09.22
Looking for a light and refreshing wine seltzer for the upcoming summer months? In comes, JETWAY, the convergence of Wine & Seltzer founded by musician Albert Hammond Jr (The Strokes) and veteran winemaker Ben Parsons (founder of Infinite Monkey Theorem).
JETWAY is an ultra-premium naturally uplifting wine seltzer inspired by Albert's travels around the globe as a musician. It is currently available in two flavors - a Sauvignon Blanc (infused with yuzu, Fijian ginger, elderflower, and, yerba mate) and a Rosé of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon (infused with white peach, Fijian ginger, yerba mate, orange peel) – both of which are sourced from the McNary Vineyard, which overlooks the Columbia River in Washington state.
At 100 calories per 8.4 fl. oz. can, JETWAY wine seltzers are 5 percent alcohol by volume. No sugar added, gluten-free and vegan-friendly, the drinks are presented in cans with artwork that evokes the golden age of travel.
JETWAY comes in cans and by the keg. Coachella served JETWAY by the keg and it will be served at Disneyland by keg too, marking the first time a wine seltzer is being served this way!
Investors include Joaquin Phoenix, Rooney Mara, Robert Schwartzman, Nick Hoult, and Zooey Grossman.
Currently, JETWAY is brand new and right now only available in SoCal, but they are formulating the DTC license and speaking to distributors so expect to expand nationwide ASAP.
