Madly Pineapple 750ml – Bold, Sweet Tropical Wine at 16% ABV
Madly Pineapple is a Moscato-based flavored wine from The Wine Group that delivers intense tropical sweetness at a bold 16% ABV. This fruit-forward sipper combines the aromatic qualities of Moscato with juicy pineapple flavor, perfect for casual gatherings, warm-weather occasions, or anyone seeking an approachable sweet wine with real punch.
What makes Madly Pineapple 750ml stand out
Madly Pineapple 750ml isn't your grandmother's sweet wine. Part of the Madly lineup from The Wine Group, this Moscato-based flavored wine takes the beloved floral and fruity characteristics of traditional Moscato and amplifies them with bold pineapple flavor. What truly sets it apart is the 16% ABV—significantly higher than typical Moscato wines that hover around 5–7%—making it a sweet wine with genuine presence.
The Madly brand has carved out a niche for drinkers who want unapologetic sweetness without sacrificing strength. While traditional Moscato d'Asti from Italy delivers delicate, lightly sparkling sips at low alcohol levels, Madly Pineapple takes a distinctly American approach: bigger, bolder, and designed to deliver tropical escape in every glass.
Market overview
Sweet and flavored wines have experienced tremendous growth over the past decade. Moscato in particular saw explosive popularity, growing at average rates of 25% per year in the United States at its peak, driven in part by mentions in hip-hop culture and its appeal to new wine drinkers seeking approachable options.
The flavored wine segment occupies an interesting middle ground between traditional wine and ready-to-drink beverages. Products like Madly Pineapple compete with fruit-flavored wines from established brands and newer entrants alike. At a typical price point under $15 for 750ml, Madly positions itself as an affordable indulgence—accessible enough for everyday enjoyment while offering the elevated ABV that distinguishes it from lighter alternatives.
The Wine Group, producer of Madly, is one of the largest wine producers in the world, with headquarters in California. Their portfolio spans numerous brands across all price tiers, giving them significant distribution reach and production expertise.
Style & flavor profile
Madly Pineapple 750ml presents a golden-hued wine with pronounced tropical aromatics. On the nose, expect vibrant pineapple that recalls fresh-cut fruit, alongside subtle floral notes from its Moscato base—hints of orange blossom and honeysuckle.
The palate delivers exactly what the aroma promises: sweet, juicy pineapple flavor that dominates from the first sip to the finish. This is an unambiguously sweet wine with noticeable residual sugar, balanced by the inherent fruitiness that keeps it from becoming cloying. The 16% ABV adds warmth and weight, giving more body than typical light-and-sweet Moscatos.
The finish is medium-length, leaving tropical fruit impressions and gentle sweetness on the palate. There's modest acidity compared to traditional table wines, contributing to its smooth, easy-drinking character.
How it's made
Madly Pineapple begins with Moscato wine as its foundation. Moscato (also called Muscat Blanc) is one of the oldest grape varieties in the world, celebrated for intensely aromatic, floral fruit. High natural levels of linalool—an aromatic compound also found in citrus flowers—give Moscato its perfumed character.
The Wine Group produces Madly at their facilities in California's Central Valley, a region known for reliable, high-volume wine production. The base Moscato wine undergoes controlled fermentation to preserve sweetness and fruit character. Natural and added pineapple flavors are then blended in to create the signature tropical profile.
To reach 16% ABV, the wine is produced using specialized fermentation and/or fortification techniques that increase alcohol while retaining sweetness. This sets Madly apart from traditional Moscato d’Asti, which typically stops fermentation early at much lower alcohol levels.
Food pairings
The intense sweetness of Madly Pineapple 750ml makes it a natural partner for foods that play with contrast or echo its tropical character:
- Spicy Asian cuisine: Thai curries, Sichuan dishes and spicy Vietnamese fare create a classic sweet-and-heat combo. The sugar calms chili burn; pineapple complements aromatics like lemongrass and ginger.
- Salty snacks & charcuterie: Prosciutto, salami, aged cheeses and nuts provide savory contrast and keep the wine from feeling too rich.
- Tropical desserts: Pineapple upside-down cake, coconut macaroons, mango sticky rice and sorbets mirror the wine’s flavors for a dessert-on-dessert experience.
How to serve
Serve well-chilled, between 40–50°F (4–10°C). Colder temps tone down sweetness and highlight bright fruit. A standard white wine glass or tulip-shaped glass is ideal.
Pour small 3–4 oz portions—the wine stays colder in the glass and the 16% ABV stays more manageable over an evening.
Cocktails & mixing
Classic serve: Pineapple Wine Spritzer
Combine 4 oz Madly Pineapple with 2 oz sparkling water or club soda over ice. Garnish with a pineapple wedge. The bubbles lift the wine’s sweetness and lighten the ABV per glass.
Signature serve: Tropical Sunset
Shake 3 oz Madly Pineapple, 1 oz coconut rum and 1 oz fresh lime juice with ice. Strain into a chilled coupe and float a splash of grenadine. Garnish with a lime wheel and cherry.
Buying guide
Look for the bright Madly label and make sure you’re grabbing the pineapple flavor—Madly also makes mango, peach and strawberry. Bottles are non-vintage and designed for consistent flavor; expect roughly $8–12 retail for 750ml.
Comparisons vs. similar products
Madly Pineapple vs. Barefoot Moscato
Barefoot Moscato is lighter, more traditional Moscato (peach, apricot, citrus) at around 9% ABV. Madly Pineapple is sweeter, more tropical and 16% ABV. Choose Barefoot for an easy, classic Moscato; Madly when you want power and pineapple.
Madly Pineapple vs. MD 20/20 Gold Pineapple
MD 20/20 leans more artificial and has a very different “party” image. Madly’s Moscato base keeps things more wine-forward and aromatic, while still being fun and sweet.
Collector & aging notes
Madly Pineapple is not meant for aging or collecting. It won't gain complexity with time—the pineapple character will fade. Buy it, chill it, enjoy it.
Occasions & gifting
Ideal for pool parties, BBQs, luau or beach-themed events, game nights and girls’ nights in. It’s a fun host gift, especially if you add tropical snacks or a cocktail recipe card.
