Gik背后的六個年輕的革新者,都是二十來歲的年紀,他們把從拉里奧哈、薩拉戈薩、萊昂和卡斯蒂亞-拉曼恰的葡萄園收獲的白葡萄和紅葡萄混合起來釀制獨特的葡萄酒,但是他們說多樣性對釀造寶藍色葡萄酒并不重要.他們在酒中加入花青素(葡萄皮中的一種天然色素)來產生這樣的藍色,還加了靛藍(從菘藍植物中提取的一種染料)來讓這種藍色看起來更加動人.
As for how this blue wine actually tastes, the Gïk website doesn't reveal too much, instructing prospective clients to "Try to forget all you know about wine and ignore all the preconceptions and standards regarding [the] wine industry and turn a deaf ear to what the sommelier told you in the wine tasting last week." Gïk is supposedly a sweet wine due to an added non-caloric sweetener.
至于這種藍色葡萄酒味道如何,Gik網站并沒有透露太多,它指示未來的客戶們"努力忘卻你所知道的有關葡萄酒的一切,忽視所有關于葡萄酒業的預想和標準,不要聽信品酒師上周告訴你的酒是什么味道."Gik可能是一種甜酒,因為里面加了不含熱量的甜味劑.
Interestingly enough, the people behind Gïk have no real expertise making wine, but they all "wanted to create something really innovative" because Spain's wine industry was "missing a little revolution." "We were raised in a country with a strong wine culture, but wine has always been a beverage put on a pedestal," Aritz López said. "So we thought about how it would be to have real people making wine for real people, not a wine made by experts to pseudo-connoisseurs."
非常有趣的是,Gik背后的這幾個年輕人并沒有真正的制酒技術,但他們都"想創造一些真正新穎的東西",因為西班牙的葡萄酒業"缺乏一點革新.""我們在一個葡萄酒文化濃厚的國家長大,但是葡萄酒一直都是一種高高在上的飲品,"阿里特斯•洛佩茲說道."所以我們就想,普通人釀酒給普通人喝會怎樣,而不是專家給假鑒賞師制酒."
Blue wine is not currently available in the US, although the company certainly has plans to expand there soon. It can be ordered online in Spain, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Germany, for the price of about $11 per bottle.
美國現在還見不到這款藍色的葡萄酒,當然,這家公司已經有了計劃,將很快向那里擴張.現在,西班牙、法國、英國、荷蘭和德國都可以從網上預訂了,每瓶售價大概在11美元左右.
