No one asked for it, but sure, we'll take it: blue wine is now a thing.
The strikingly bright beverage, made by Spanish winemaker Gik, is reportedly sweet and meant to be served chilled. It does not, unfortunately, taste like a blue Jolly Rancher — at least as far as we can tell.
According to Eater, the wine gets its color from a combination of "anthocyanin (a pigment found in grape skin) and indigo (a dye extracted from the Isatis tinctoria plant), and a non-caloric sweetener." Its taste is most similar to a sweet white wine.
If this all sounds a little weird (some of us are still getting used to rosé, after all), Gik understands. It just wants us to expand our horizons. "We believe in creative rebellion," its website reads. "We want to innovate and build new things, break with the past and invent the future."
Looks like the future is blue wine. Not bad.
So, can you really try this stuff for yourself? If you're in Europe, you're in luck: Gik did a Spain-only soft launch of the product last year, but now they're looking to expand retail to France, the Netherlands, the UK and Germany in the next few months.
Eventually, the wine could even reach the United States — probably not in time for you to have red, white and blue wines at your Fourth of July party, though.
