It's delicious, celebratory and perfect today to toast the #SuperBlueBloodMoon! The celebration possibilities are endless as blue is such a popular color, and for patriotic reasons this paired with anything red is a total hit.

2017. Both the wine and the sparkling wine are available in 750mL bottles.
Even the cork is blue.
Whom You Know was told by brand owner Manuel Martinez:
"We create a delicious selection of blue wines inspired by
the modernity and tradition present in the Mediterranean lifestyle and culture.
While embracing the value of traditional wines, we offer a classic product in an
evolutionary format that appeals to the senses of today’s curious wine lovers."
We know inquiring minds want to know: How does Blue Wine become Blue?
Here's how we are told:
These Blue Wines get this bright and elegant blue color from a natural pigment found in the
Merlot grape skin called Anthocyanin. This natural colorant is completely harmless for
human consumption and commonly used in many products, being a great source of
antioxidants, having some benefits such reducing heart disease, anti inflammatory, anti
tumor or anti diabetics effects.
Anthocyanins are phenolic compounds, found in fruits like grapes, where they confer the
red, blue and violet colors. Anthocyanins are synthesized during veraisson and are the most
important pigments in red and colored grapes. Their structure is made by the
combination of an aglycon and a sugar, usually glucose.
Anthocyanins are the most
powerful natural antioxidants; their study has been difficult because of their s
ustainability. However, they can be stabilized by acylation, and then they may be efficiently
stored by vacuoles. In general, their role is associated to render color in berries and for
detoxification under light stressing conditions, so their study is important.
The
concentration and anthocyanin profile varies among grape species, cultivars, maturity
stages, seasons, environmental conditions, field practices and levels of yield. Light and
temperature are the main environmental variables that regulate their biosynthesis where
light stimulates it and high temperature appears to inhibit it.
And, it's a lot of fun to sip! We will warn you-it will turn your tongue, lips and teeth blue so make sure to have your toothbrush nearby. As you know, red wine does the same thing.
The panel voted the Blue Brut Sparkling as the favorite of the two, and no one had ever heard of blue wine before. The creative possibilities are endless with this color and as we go into summer, this would be perfect for poolside, oceanside or patio sipping. As we are far from summer now, you can get a similar Mediterranean feeling inside by pouring a glass. You'll want to admire the brilliant color before you drink it.
The Blue Brut’s gorgeous color, which is all-natural and mimics perfectly the color of the Mediterranean Sea, sets the tone for an exciting evening deserving of a celebratory toast. Blue Brut has a subtly sweet, grape taste. We found it to be mildly dry, with no aftertaste to speak of. Tiny bubbles are revived with each sip, bursting gently in the mouth and on the tongue. Blue Brut is light, refreshing, and easy to drink. It's perfect for a summer time toast with friends, or on its own on a relaxing evening.
