Viniq

 

These are the three variations of Viniq - a blend of vodka, Moscato and natural fruit flavours together with some shimmering food additive that is used to decorate cakes. The purple is original, with the red and yellow being red berries and peach respectively. I became aware of this concoction in the past few months and witnessed long queues at the booths which were showcasing the drink at Wine and Dine as well as at the Wine Fair this year, but somehow I was not enthusiastic enough to taste it though I had tried obscure wines from obscure grapes at those two events. I suppose the description already identifies itself as more a party animal that a wine for serious consideration, but although the swirling simmering effect is attractive, I am not particularly keen on drinking this cake decoration in my wine.
