2 surprising wine sweets to try at least once in your life !

Delightful Wine-Infused Treats: Sweet Indulgences for Wine Lovers

1) Rosé Wine Gummy Bears

These treats are best avoided by children: rosé wine gummy bears. This innovative candy comes from the American brand Sugarfina, which has partnered with French vineyard Château d’Esclans to create these pink, gummy bear-shaped sweets. Not only do they have the right color, but they also truly taste like rosé wine. Unfortunately, they’re hard to come by at the moment due to their overwhelming success. The makers quickly sold out and there’s already a waiting list of 4,000 people. We hope Sugarfina will soon increase production to meet the high demand!

2) Ice Cream Mixed with Wine

You might be surprised to learn that wine ice cream exists. This inventive treat also hails from the United States. New York-based brand Mercer’s offers ice cream in several flavors, including Merlot-Cherry, Chardonnay-Raspberry, Cabernet-Chocolate, and Riesling. The downside is that it’s currently only available in New York. If you’re planning a trip there, you’re in luck. For everyone else, you’ll have to wait until the brand expands internationally. But don’t worry, plans are in place. Stay tuned for updates!
