Who’s ready to get fifty shades of wasted??
E.L. James has just launched her own 50 Shades of Grey wine, and this is as brilliant of a brand move that we’ve ever seen! Who doesn’t want to kick back with a nice glass of spankin’ good wine and read some sexy Twilight fan fiction book porn??
Exactly!
The new wine comes in two varieties: Red Satin and White Silk, with the tagline ‘You Are Mine.’
Apparently they were developed and personally blended by James and winemakers in California├óΓé¼Γäós North Coast region, so it’s not like she’s just slapping a brand on it and calling it a day — she actually had a personal hand in it!
Here’s what she said about it:
“Wine plays an important role in Fifty Shades of Grey, adding to the sensuality that pervades a number of scenes. I hope my readers curl up with a glass as they enjoy the romance between Anastasia and Christian.”
Here’s how the two wines taste:
Red Satin:
“A decadent red blend of Petite Sirah and Syrah with flavors of black cherry, cocoa powder, creamy caramel and vanilla, leather and clove spice.”
White Silk:
“Floral aromatics of lychee and honey, tempered by flavors of crisp grapefruit, mineral and lush pear with a faint hint of butterscotch.├óΓé¼┬¥
We’ll be honest here… that sounds delicious. We’d LOVE to try some!
The good news is that anybody can, if they want, because you can buy it online for like $18. That’s not bad!
DRINK RESPONSIBLY, even if you are home alone reading by firelight!
