I’ve heard this has arrived in a few places in the US. My fellow Americans, if you find Gik wine, buy it, drink it or offer it as a gift.

Not only you will enjoy a great product, but you will also give the middle finger to all the pretentious wine snobs of the world and to the EU regulatory bodies who fined the company and made them change the name of the product from “blue wine”, to “wine based blue drink”.

America needs to get behind this, because this wine is special, just like us.

Red wine is for commies!

I’m all for innovation in the wine industry and especially for creative Spanish upstarts pissing off fusty regulators and old French and British wine writers, but also I don’t really want blue poop.

It’s poop! You flush it and forget about it. Don’t let such a silly reason to stop you from enjoying something you like.

Will this be the catalyst of Spaexit?

No. The Spanish authorities fully support that decision, as the wine lobby is pretty damn powerful and the big players can be pretty monopolistic.

The Gik guys seemed to be alone against the world, until another company, Santa Margarita Bodegas, launched their own, Passion brand, of new wine.

Kinja'd!!!

I was joking. Have you tasted it? Is it as sweet as the BBC guy indicated?

Depends on your view of sweet. I found out that Europeans like less sweeter things than we do, from candy to drinks.

Then again, Gik is aimed at young people, so think a light, decently sweet Chardonnay with fruity hints. It’s a great pair for fish, chicken, soft creamy cheese and other quick snacks.

Of course, you can always have a glass or two, without any food, because the taste is pleasant.

Sounds like a perfect mismatch for my taste in wine and everything else, but I’m still curious. I’ll try it if I see it and report back.
