Violette
The color purple has a deep and fascinating connection to wine. Purple dye (Tyrian purple) was once rare and expensive, associated with emperors and nobility—much like fine wine, which was historically a drink of the elite. Many wine grapes (like Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, or Malbec) have deep purple skins, which give red wine its color through maceration. The "Black Wine" of Cahors: A famously dark, almost purple Malbec wine from France was called "the black wine" in medieval times.
The phrase "drinking purple" was coined by wine critics for wines so dark they appear almost black—like the legendary "Purple Teeth" stain left by young, extracted reds.
So next time you sip a glass of inky Syrah, think of it as liquid royalty! 🍷💜
