Rosé wine is considered one of the most preferred types of wine in the summer. It gives that fresh feeling on very hot days.

 

This summer, you can say goodbye to Rosé, is you lived in Spain, and you can enjoy the newest type of wine in the country: Blue wine!!

 

A number of scientists spent two years collaborating with the University of the Basque Country and Food Tech research departments to perfect their blend of red and white grapes from the La Rioja, Castilla-La Mancha, León and Zaragoza regions of Spain.

 

You might wonder: where did the blue color come from… Well, the unnatural electric blue hue is enhanced by adding organic indigo and anthocyanin pigments.

 

The Spanish startup’s creators announce in their press kit: “Try to forget all you know about wine,” adding “This insane concoction bears little resemblance to the drink we know and love. It’s not aged, and it’s sweetened with non-caloric sweeteners — not, they emphasize, with sugar”.

 

“Blue Nun” creators recommend sipping it chilled, and say its “slightly acid, with a sudden cheerful, sweet burst” tasting notes pair well with, well, everything: sushi, guacamole and nachos, tzatziki sauce, pasta carbonara and smoked salmon.

 

Blue Nun is only available in Spain for now, but will be spilling over to other countries, including the U.S., this summer.

The creators of this “weird” type of wine also thought about the music people could listen too while sipping wine, so they made the following playlist:

 

  • Fryars: “Cool Like Me”
  • James Blake: “Stop What You’re Doing”
  • Minus the Bear: “Pachuca Sunrise”
You might have blue teeth after sipping blue wine, but then again, it’s nice to try something new every once in a while.
