The next time you break out the Pinot noir, you don't have to exclude Fluffy from the festivities — just pour a glass of some Pinot Meow and you and your cat can be on your way to a good time.

While alcohol is dangerous for pets, Denver-based company Apollo Peak is now making non-alcoholic wine for cats because this is America and it's entirely necessary. There is not much wine-y about this wine, though: Pinot Meow, MosCATo, and Apollo Peak vintages are all made with "organic catnip and water and colored with organic beet juice," reports The Huffington Post. Unlike a Japanese wine for cats, Nyan Nyan Nouveau, which was made with grapes and could be toxic to felines, the Apollo Peak recipe checked out with the ASPCA.

"It's made like a tea, but since we got it to look so much like a wine, we want it to be perceived as a wine by the consumer — that way they can feel as though they are having a glass of wine with their pet," Apollo Peak founder Brandon Zavala said.
