Cherry Republic and Mawby’s Sustain Sparkling Wine

Bottoms Up

By Lynda Wheatley | June 25, 2022

Talk about perfect pairings. Two Up North companies who’ve transformed some of the region’s sweetest natural bounties into fruitful business empires have partnered up to create a product that truly sparkles. A blend of 60 percent cherry wine and 40 percent sparkling white wine, Cherry Republic and Mawby Sparkling Wine’s Sustain is an effervescent pour whose deep cherry hue, aroma, and flavor belies a delicate body and surprisingly light sweetness we didn’t expect from a cherry wine and absolutely adored. A portion of each bottle’s proceeds will go to the Great Lakes Business Network, which works to protect the Great Lakes and the blue economy that depends upon them. (That helps us feel extra good about making Sustain a mainstay of our backyard social hour this summer.) Find a bottle, $23, at Mawby (in-store and online) and at Cherry Republic’s Traverse City and Glen Arbor retail locations. Mawby.wine, cherryrepublic.com.
