Be Prepared For The Fall Of Red And White. Blue Wine Is A Thing Now
Love wine but hate the colours of the St George’s cross and refuse to take Rosé seriously? You’re in luck.
A Spanish start-up named Gik have teamed up with the University of the Basque Country and Azti Tecnecalia (a food research team) and created a wine for people who obviously don’t like the taste but want to look kooky and interesting on Instagram…
It’s blue.
It’s made from both red and white grapes and the colour comes from anthocyanin (a pigment from grape skin) and a bit of indigo dye… doesn’t really sound like you’d need a University research team behind you to find out that blue dye turns things blue…
On the website, Gik described the reasoning for the blueness as the colour represents ‘fluidity and change’, as well as ‘movement, innovation, and infinity.’ Also they needed a gimmick because their wine was sub par? Just a thought.
Nevertheless, the wine will be available in the UK, France, Netherlands and Germany in the next few month with a bottle setting you back £8.

Or you can sell your soul and drink some WKD out of a fancy glass and call it quits.
