Blue wine?
You've heard of red, white and rosé, but what about blue wine?
A Spanish company called Gik has recently brought out a new, modern-looking, futuristic genre of wine that is an electric blue. Representing the innovative side of life, and believing in creative rebellion, they are hoping to take over the world with their vibrantly coloured alcohol.
They're right, wine is boring. It's been the same tricoloured selection for hundreds, if not thousands of years, and I am fully for their philosophy: let's change it up. The blue hues aren't artificial either, and come from organic pigments in the skin of the grapes they use to make the wine. What's more, there is no added sugar and they use non-caloric sweetners instead; so it's not going to suddenly make you pile on the pounds.
The main draw, however, has got to be its vivid, striking blue-colour, and the idea of sipping on a glass of bright blue wine in the sun, or serving Gik to your friends at a dinner party as a surprise; well, that's just pretty fun.
