Have you seen the blue wine?

You don’t have to be an expert to know that there are red, wand rosé wines. Well, things have changed a bit, and now you need to add another color to that list: the blue wine.

A real success in Europe, the blue drink is called GIK, and is a Spanish development which combines red and white grapes, without designation of origin. Its color obviously doesn’t come from the grapes, but from a mixture of the organic pigments of indigo and anthocyanin.

The creators are six young ones that decided to produce a blue wine simply because it’s different and fun. When asked ‘But why blue?’, they answer ‘Why not?’. Before the official release, they worked for two years, with the help of the University of the Basque Country and Food Tech.

GIK is vegan, doesn’t take sugar in its composition, has alcoholic strength similar to the regular wines (11.5%), and is in accordance to every standard demanded by the European Union. Way to go, guys!
