Full-bodied and firm yet rounded in mouthfeel and generous in fruit flavors, this wine strikes a harmonious balance that makes it irresistible. It boasts blueberry, black cherry, dark chocolate and cinnamon flavors, its plush texture carrying them long into the finish. Jim Gordon

’50 Shades Of Grey’ Wine Is Totally Real And Completely Without Irony
Fans of “Fifty Shades of Grey,” take note. Beginning Monday, you’ll be able to sip wines inspired by the series’ three novels while you flip through the pages. Yes, author E. L. James is selling wines dubbed “Red Satin” and “White Silk,” which she helped California winemakers produce.
It all seems a bit gimmicky to us, but there isn’t a trace of irony on the wines’ official website, which is run by James’s people.
“Ive always had a penchant for good wine, so combining two of my passions to blend Red Satin and White Silk was a natural extension of the Fifty Shades trilogy,” her message on the site reads. “I hope my readers curl up with a glass as they enjoy the romance between Anastasia and Christian.”
The red is mix of Petite Sirah and Syrah, and supposedly “has flavors of black cherry, cocoa powder, creamy caramel and vanilla, leather and clove spice.” The white is primarily a blend of Gewürztraminer and Sauvignon Blanc, and has “floral aromatics of lychee, honey and pear … tempered by flavors of crisp grapefruit, mineral and lush pear with a faint hint of butterscotch.”
Both sell for $17.99, which is a heck more expensive than your average bottle of Yellowtail.
As much we wish this was the first time “Fifty Shades of Grey” has inspired products in the realms of food and drink, it’s just not true. Previously, we’ve rolled our eyes at the “Fifty Shades of Chicken” cookbook, “50 Shades of Kale” cookbook and a “Fifty Shades of Grey”-inspired cooking class.

Company email re Bota Box:”We cant make any guarantees that our wines are vegan as they may be treated with fining agents or they may come into contact with non-vegan based products at any time during their life cycle.”
Company email :”Our winemakers use a variety of tools available to them when crafting our wines. We don’t make any claims that our wines are gluten free, dairy free, vegan or vegetarian because our wines may have been treated with fining agents such as gelatin, casein, and fish products.”
Company email re: La Merika Wines:”The short answer is no we do not make the statement that our wines are vegan or vegetarian friendly. Since there may be slight differences/variations from vintage to vintage our winemakers need to have access to tools to help make the wines as consistent as possible. Some of these tools can make the wine non-vegetarian or non-vegan. In order to maintain as much flexibility as possible, we do not make claims that our wines are Vegan or Vegetarian friendly.”
Company email :”Unfortunately we cannot make the statement that any of the wines we produce is vegan or vegetarian-friendly. Each vintage is different and our winemakers need to use the tools necessary to make our wines as consistent as possible. We do import some wines as well, which would be another reason we could not guarantee a vegan or vegetarian status.”
