Wine Types and Quality

Summer Water offers two types of wine; its Summer Water Rosé and Keep it Chill Red. Both wines are grown along the central coast of Southern California.

Summer Water Rosé is a 91-point, award-winning rosé that was voted top rosé by The Wine Enthusiast in 2019. The current vintage on sale was bottled in 2021 and contains 12.5% alcohol by volume. The flavor is crisp and hints of lime, grapefruit, strawberry, and watermelon. It pairs well with salad or oysters, but you can just as easily have it with a plate of french fries.

Keep it Chill Red is a light-bodied French Beaujolais Gamay. Each bottle contains grapes vinified for four to five months in concrete tanks. In a breach of popular convention, it’s best served chilled and pairs well with everything from red meat to pizza.

Membership Options

If you want to enjoy Summer Water’s wines year-round, you can join its Societé membership program and have orders shipped to your door every month. With Societé, you get 10% off each order, free shipping, and free in-box gifts. You can change, skip, or cancel your membership at any time through the website or over the phone.

Pricing

Both Summer Water Rosé and Keep it Chill Red are available for one-time purchase in boxes of four, eight, or twelve bottles (750ml). If you choose four or eight bottles the price is $20 per bottle ($80 or $160, respectively). Meanwhile, twelve bottles costs $18 per bottle, or $216.

Additionally, you can opt for 24 Summer Water Rosé Droplets 187ml bottles at $5.62 per bottle or $135. The Keep it Chill Red is not available in a 187ml bottle at this time.

Summer Water charges $9 shipping and handling for boxes of four bottles and offers free shipping for larger orders and subscriptions. Note, however, that there are quite a few states that not all products can be shipped to.

If you join Societé, Summer Water’s subscription club, you get a 10% discount on each shipment plus free shipping on all orders. This brings the price per bottle to $18 per bottle for four or eight bottles ($72 and $144 total, respectively) and $16.17 per bottle for twelve bottles ($194 total). The discount on the 24-pack of 187 ml bottles drops the price to $5 per bottle ($120).
