Have Anyone Tried "Blue Wine"? I have only managed to find two Australian Blue Wine so far
Royal Cross Blue Swan 750ml (Only online purchase via Danmurphy's minimum order 6 bottles, total $79.00 or $13.20 with free delivery)
https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_ER_1000004935_BSRC-…

The Blue Bird 750ml (Liquorland, called them up seems to be a deleted line, no longer available) $10 per bottle

Came across another Royal Cross Blue Swan 750ml (Moscat) online wholesaler with minimum order 12 bottles at $3.50 each (a huge different from Danmurphy's) but with a $15 delivery cost (effectively $4.75 per bottle). total cost $57 including delivery.

Questions
1. Will the blue wine stain your teeth/ tongue? Blue tongue/ blue teeth? Planning for a luncheon party, doubt anyone would want to have blue teeth or blue tongue during the party
2. Will Dan Murphy's price beat/ price match Tempoint?
3. For those who have tried blue wine, what is your opinion? does it taste good?
4. $3.50 or $4.75 seems cheap for a bottle of wine, should there be any concern?

    It goes well with a blue waffle.

    I have not tried it, but the wine is too cheap to be good as wine, and very low alcohol so it will be super-sweet.

    Not a good choice for wine drinkers, but fun kitschy gimmick if served cold at some sort of blue-themed event.

      That's exactly what it is. It's a fad from a few years ago turning cheap white wines into blue coloured wines. The blue colour apparently was from the blue pigment extracted from grape skins.

    1) Buy one bottle and find out, please report back. As it's dyed, it's likely to make your tongue blue. I doubt it'll stain your teeth unless you drank it constantly.

    First, a base needs to be created from a mixture of red and white grapes.
    A pigment, anthcyanin, from the red skins is then thrown into the mix, followed by the indigotine plant dye.
    Non-caloric sweeteners are then added.

    2) Ask Dan Murphy's
    3) Haven't tried it, sounds like a gimmick. I'm not super keen on sweet wines, so I'd probably have a taste but prefer other wines.
    4) It's about the same price as buying cleanskins which can sometimes be quite nice.
