G'Vine Floraison Gin is a spirit that's made with grapes in place of grains and it specifically speaks to "consumers who appreciate the craft of fermentation, who seek more complex and appealing flavor notes and mouth feel, and who want to move away from grain spirits and gluten in general." The product comes from fine French grapes and the vine flower, which only blossoms once a year in the summer. This hand-picked blossom is said to taste like summer and it's a key part of the flavor and fragrance experience provided by G'Vine Floraison Gin.
The product is set to become widely available to consumers in the United States thanks to a partnership with Speakeasy, as well as increased retail and restaurant distribution.
