Birdy’s Low-ABV Wine Spritzers
Bottoms Up
By Anna Faller | June 14, 2025
Birdy’s low-ABV wine spritzers were inspired by summers spent in northern Michigan. These crisp and quenching (and organic!) bevvies are the collaborative creation of Up North-enthusiast siblings Callie Guman Furste and Tad Gruman and the Oosterhouse brothers of TC’s Bonobo Winery. Each can is artfully crafted by Bonobo’s “mad scientist” winemaker, Cornel Olivier, using the winery’s estate-grown Chardonnay grapes and a touch of finishing effervescence, and are dealcoholized for a sessionable ABV of just 3 percent. So far, Birdy comes in two flavors, Untouched and a rosé Hibiscus Lime, both of which are bright and delightfully balanced, making them perfect for the boat, the beach, or a night on the patio. Best served chilled and paired with friends! Take flight at Bonobo Winery (12011 Center Rd.) in Traverse City. bonobowinery.com
