If you're into sweet, fruity wines, you may very well be acquainted with Stella Rosa wines. If this is your first time, let us introduce you to the line! The powerhouse brand, which is the 4th most popular in the United States (via Eat This, Not That!), has made a name for itself as a purveyor of flavored wine. This is a wine with natural flavors, inspired by a more conventional style of wine with some additional sugar. It's a hit with those who don't love regular wine, and for good reason. With more than 30 different styles, there's likely a bottle for even the toughest critics.

They've also created several non-alcoholic styles to appeal to even more drinkers, whether you're skipping booze or not. We've narrowed it down to 15 bottles from Stella Rosa's collection and ranked them from worst to best. So grab a glass and keep reading to see which wine made it to the top spot on the list.

Next up is Golden Honey Peach. If its name is any indication, this is full-on sweet! You will find some peach notes here, as well as some apricot and honeydew. The biggest takeaway here is that there's no real indication as to exactly what type of wine grapes this was made with. Also, even though honey is in the name of the wine, the sugar content was ratcheted up with the addition of pure sugar, as Drink Hacker surmises. Stella Rosa ranks this as 6 out of 10 on their sweetness scale, but if you're not used to sweet wines, you may be put off.

There is no real reason to spring for Stella Rosa's Golden Honey Peach. It is not particularly interesting in flavor, and there's already another peach drink that is at least made with peach flavoring and therefore carries stronger aromas. We've ranked this second to the last in our lineup of Stella Rosa flavors because the most memorable characteristic about this flavored wine... is that it isn't.

If you're looking for a grapefruit-flavored wine... well, Stella Rosa's Ruby Rosé Grapefruit is certainly not lacking in the grapefruit flavor. It's also not lacking in sweetness or rose petal aromas. 

Sounds appealing enough, but the reality is that there's a lot going on without much subtlety. Simply put, if you like big wines that invade your sense of smell and attack your taste buds, then you may appreciate this. On a positive note, there's some slight fizz here, which helps to keep this wine from being over-the-top undrinkable. 

One Vivino reviewer referred to this as a wine cooler, which seems to be a more accurate name for the drink. It's worth a try if you're looking for a sweet, slightly bubbly wine that's low in alcohol. We'd suggest drinking this on the porch after a long day, when you're too tired to pay too much attention to flavor.

The point of this roundup is to be completely honest, so here it goes. Stella Rosa Blackberry is actually quite delicious. It's got a long-lasting juicy fruit flavor with unmistakable notes of blackberry, grape, and maybe even some blueberry. 

But where it misses the mark is that it doesn't taste anything like wine! Delicious slightly-fizzy juice? Yes, 100%. However, because this is packaged as a wine and is made to be a wine-type product, we do expect some tannins or something that relates to wine as we know it — and Stella Rosa Blackberry just doesn't have it. 

One Vivino reviewer thinks it's just the right amount of sweet, without venturing into sugar overload. So if you are looking for a sweet wine with blackberry notes, keep looking. But if you want a fun drink to consume chilled that is more of an alcoholic fruit juice, then you may have found your top pick!

Stella Rosa Royale is the brand's foray into more traditional styles of wine. As one would expect, this indeed resembles wine more than juice. And at 8% alcohol content, it's going to have a heavier feeling in the mouth, which also gives the impression of wine. There's no contents list for this on the website, which makes us think that there was no fruit flavoring added to this wine. That's yet another plus, for those who are looking for less of a wine drink and more of a standard wine.

You may gravitate towards this wine if you're a fan of juicy red fruits. It's bursting with notes of strawberries, cherries, and raspberries. One The Best Wine Store customer described it as having a subtle, sweet taste of berries. It seems to be a nice compromise for those who don't like the tannins in some other deep red wines. This has great flavor and a bit of bubbles, which also bring a hint of refreshment to the drink. But overall, it's not super complex, so we couldn't rate it any higher on the list.

Stella Rosa seems to think its customers crave honey and peach, so they've made yet another wine with peach aromas. This one's more of a success than the others, though. It's Stella Rosa's Stella Bianco, and Muscat/Moscato grapes are the primary variety used in this wine. This wine is 5.5% ABV, so it's yet another lighter, more refreshing take on wine by the powerhouse brand. It's also one of the few still wines in the brand's lineup.

One Influenster reviewer mentioned an odd aftertaste, and several others mentioned how sweet the wine is. But if you can look past all of that, you might actually like this Stella Rosa wine. It's got bold fruit flavors, very noticeable sugar content, and no fizz at all. Although this didn't knock our socks off, it is different enough from the rest of the Stella Rosa wines to carve out its own spot in the lineup.

Typical Pinot Grigio wines have an unmistakable acidity, along with notes of lemon and white peach. There's a brightness with the wine that makes it great paired with seafood and chicken dishes. And Stella Rosa's Pinot Grigio doesn't disappoint. There are prominent green apple and pear notes, as well as some lime zest. It also has the distinction of being Stella Rosa's first still wine, according to the brand's website. It's also dry, so there is no sweetness on the palate with this wine.

It does get bonus points for being the wild card of the Stella Rosa lineup, but more than that, it's a pleasant wine to enjoy with or without food. Tastings.com suggests pairing this wine with chicken pad thai, which sounds about as delightful as it gets! It's more sophisticated than a lot of the other wines in the Stella Rosa range, but it does lack a little complexity beyond the fruit notes, which is why this wine didn't rank any higher.

Although the website doesn't make any mention of it, Stella Rosa's Moscato d'Asti feels a bit like the brand's flagship wine. Moscato from the Asti region in Italy has set the standard for slightly sweet, fizzy wines, and it's clear that Stella Rosa has made many of the label's wines in this style.

The Moscato d'Asti gives you a good idea of the lengths a refreshing, sweet wine can reach. It is fruity and perfect for a summer grill session on the balcony as the meal closer. Just pair it with some strawberry shortcake or a cheese platter with honey to see it shine. One Total Wine reviewer describes it as "perfect for any occasion," which sounds about right: You can eat it with sweet or savory dishes, as well as on its own. It's also available in smaller formats, so you can pack a few in your bag for, say, a trip to the park.
