High Noon is a leading American hard seltzer brand launched in 2019 by E & J Gallo Winery, a prominent wine and spirits company. Unlike most hard seltzers that use fermented cane sugar or malted barley, High Noon differentiates itself by using **vodka distilled from Midwestern corn** combined with real fruit juice, resulting in a 4.5% ABV ready-to-drink canned cocktail.
