February 18, 2026 – Booze-free innovator Curious Elixirs this week celebrates its 11th year with its 11th release: Curious Red, the inaugural 2026 vintage of the non-alcoholic red wine that calms your body and mind.
Curious Red’s first vintage is 2026’s Sumptuous Syrah. Opening with lush California Syrah grapes, this dry, medium-bodied red reveals notes of blackberry, French and American oaks, tobacco, and peppercorns.
A meticulous blend of 24 ingredients from 5 continents, it’s elegant yet approachable. A subtle sipper that helps you settle into a cozy evening, an inspired meal, or a connecting conversation.
True to Curious Elixirs’ functional roots, Curious Red is infused with kanna, ashwagandha, and passionflower, botanicals known to boost mood and ease stress, delivering feel-good balance with every sip.
“Curious Red is the drink we need right now,” says Curious Elixirs founder JW Wiseman. “Imagine the sharp edges of the day gently rounding off. This Curious blend offers a heart-opening lift from kanna, the steadying calm of ashwagandha, and the soothing relaxation of passionflower. It’s not about checking out—it’s about that calm glow that comes from slowing down and tuning in.”
The 2026 vintage Curious Red is available for ordering nationwide on the Curious Elixirs website for $115/12 bottles. Each 340ml bottle has two 5oz pours, each just 45 calories and 7g of sugar. For more information, visit curiouselixirs.com and follow @curiouselixirs.
