What is blue wine?

The blue wine was first developed by a Spanish startup called “Gik.” It’s a group of creators and innovators who wanted to challenge the most traditional industry, which is the wine industry. The blue color is produced through a pigmentation process. It’s a mixture of red and white grapes, and two organic pigments, indigo and anthocyanin, which are pigments found in grape skin. https://www.facebook.com/105544382923499/photos/a.342608872550381.1073741826.105544382923499/1022760201201908/?type=3&theater The innovators chose the color blue because it symbolizes change and constant flow. Château Wadih “bought the anthocyanin from the Spanish maker and started its own production,” according to
