Having just returned from Disneyland, where I drank my body weight in blue liquids like cotton candy lemonade, I was stoked to return home to a package from Gik, makers of the viral blue wine that has taken over the internet. If you're wondering if the cobalt shade is made from artificial coloring, Gik assures its customers it's completely natural. According to the website, the Gik wine is made from white and red grapes from Spanish and French vineyards and during the wine-making process, indigo and anthocyanin pigments are extracted from the skin of the grapes to naturally transform the wine into the vibrant blue hue. But that's not all that's inside Gik wine. A "non-caloric sweetner" is added to the mix. Skeptical of the blue wine but extremely curious, I uncorked the bottles and had the POPSUGAR staff try it out.
Here's what taste testers had to say.
★★☆☆☆
Currently, the blue wine is only available for purchase in Europe, but if you're dying for a taste here in the US, you can preorder it for $16 a bottle.
