Our take
What we make of this bottle
This bottle is sold as a red blend, and we do not have a specific grape named for it. France is its country of origin. A wine identified only as French can still come from many different growing conditions: France's vineyards stretch across Atlantic, continental, Mediterranean and mountain-influenced settings, and no single growing season fits every one of them. France is a country, not one wine appellation, and French labels may carry a narrower protected name, an AOP or IGP. No narrower name is recorded for this bottle.
The word organic appears in this wine's name. Avaline's own ingredients page states that all of its wines use grapes that are '100 percent certified organic,' the producer's words, grown without synthetic pesticides or herbicides; that claim covers the grapes that go into the wine rather than a separate organic certification for the finished bottle, which our record does not document for this particular wine.
For the maker, Avaline says it was established as a company in 2018 and did not launch its first wines until July 2020.
In our September 2026 checks, the lowest observed price was $17.99 and the highest was $29.99. We do not have a shopper rating for this bottle. Ratings across the rated wines we track run to a median of 4.71 so far, which says nothing about how this particular bottle would land with a taster.
Avaline's own product page names EthicDrinks as the producer and Mickael Alborghetti as winemaker for this Red blend, a third name in our Avaline record alongside Maison Carrel and Ashley Herzberg named on other pages from the same brand; the relationship among the three credits is not resolved. The page lists the wine at 13.5 percent alcohol, describes it as 'light to medium body with hints of cherry and spice,' and calls it 'a beautifully approachable Red blend,' the producer's words. Ingredients are limited to organic grapes, sulfites and yeast, and the specific grape varieties in the blend are still not named on the page.
Our call: this suits a shopper who wants an easy, cherry-and-spice red and values the organic-grape claim the brand documents across its lineup; light on detail as the label is, Avaline names a producer, EthicDrinks, and a winemaker, Mickael Alborghetti, for this exact bottle. Pass if you want the blend's grapes named or one consistent producer story: neither is settled here, our Avaline record has now turned up three different production credits across its wines, and no shopper rating has reached us either.

What we are still checking
Our overview above draws on the dated store feed, shopper ratings, our region and grape research, and any sourced producer facts. We are still working to confirm the current release, the full producer record, and the bottle itself, and we update this page as we learn more.
Getting to know France.
A wine identified only as French can come from many climates, grapes and production rules. The country tells us where it comes from, while an appellation or producer record is needed for a closer account of place.
What the name means
France is a country of origin, not one wine appellation. French labels may also carry a protected AOP or IGP name with a much narrower legal boundary.
How grapes grow here
French vineyards span Atlantic, continental, Mediterranean and mountain-influenced settings. There is no single French growing season that can describe every bottle.
What lies under the vines
France's official wine areas cross river gravels, limestone and clay, granite, schist, sand and volcanic ground. The country name by itself does not establish one soil profile.
How large the region is
- Geographic reach
- Official wine indications are distributed across the country rather than one continuous vineyard zone.
- Record scope
- This guide explains a country mapping only. It does not replace a specific regional record.
Places within the region
- Protected origins
- INAO maps separate AOP and IGP wine areas, including Bordeaux, Champagne, the Rhône Valley, Provence and many others.
- What to check next
- Look for a named AOP, IGP, region or producer source before assigning local climate or soil detail.
