There are many coffee and alcohol crossovers that exist across the spirits industry, but Apothic Wines is looking to introduce consumers to something entirely new with its 'Apothic Brew,' a cold brew coffee-infused red wine blend.
Apothic Brew makes for an unexpected combination of drinks, but as the winemaker behind the idea says, "I realized that many of the characteristics in cold brew coffee and red wine naturally complement each other."
A small-batch release is set to be shared in April, offering consumers a coffee-infused wine that will contain less caffeine than what can be found in a standard cup of decaf. For the utmost enjoyment, Apothic Wines suggests enjoying Apothic Brew in one of two ways: at room temperature like red wine, or chilled like cold brew.
