Star Trek Wines announces new United Federation of Planets Sauvignon Blanc and Klingon Bloodwine
New United Federation of Planets Sauvignon Blanc and Klingon Bloodwine from Star Trek Wines
Star Trek Wines - makers of last year’s Chateau Picard Bordeaux and United Federation of Planets Old Vine Zinfandel - have announced the release of two new wines to add to the immensely popular collection. The two new wines are a UFP Sauvignon Blanc, a special reserve that fits well with the existing old vine zinfandel, and a brand-new Klingon Bloodwine. We’ll get to the bloodwine in just a second, but first let’s talk Sauvignon Blanc.
Star Trek Wines says that the UFP Sauvignon Blanc is made from north coast California grapes, and the bottle is styled to be reminiscent of Star Trek: The Next Generation official uniforms. “The bottles’ elegant design and premium wine quality,” says Star Trek Wines, “were created as if they were to be served at official United Federation of Planets gatherings including diplomatic banquets, Federation Council meetings, and planetary assemblies.”
The Klingon Bloodwine is, by contrast, something else entirely. According to Star Trek Wines, “The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes used to create this traditional Klingon Bloodwine were cultivated to produce strong fruit that glistens a vibrant ruby color in the glass. Design elements, including a special silk screen process with a unique mesh texture provide an authentic look and feel. Each bottle is then hand-filled and expertly wax-dipped. In addition, there are unique Klingon sayings on four different corks used in bottling.”
The original set of Star Trek wines, the Chateau Picard and the UFP Zinfandel, premiered last summer during the big promotional push for Star Trek: Picard at San Diego Comic Con. At the time, they sold out quickly but have been available via mail order since. The two new wines are also available via mail order, but do check their website first; due to local regulations they can’t be shipped just anywhere.
