The Cognac region in France has become the latest hot place to make vodka but it is also the home to a new gin. G'Vine is a new gin made by Eurowinegate which is based in the region. It is the first white spirit to be distilled from grape vine flowers. According to a Wine Spectator article, G'Vine is derived from the Ugni Blanc grape flower and distilled in small batches with gin's traditional botanicals such as juniper, licorice, cassia and coriander. The gin is then blended with the flowers of the Ugni Blanc leaves and distilled again. The resulting drink is said to have a more floral noise than traditional gin and to be more soft and delicate. G'Vine is currently only available in stores in the New York and New Jersey area but you can find it online for under $30.G'Vine Gin

I was actually in NYC on Holiday over Christmas. I had a chance to taste G'Vine at a club and I was more than surprised. It does not taste or smell like Beefeater or Tanqueray. It smells really floral, and I had a drink called the G-Man. I recommend it to anyone who likes vodka or loves a great a drink!

My friend Tommy was telling me about this drink "G-Man" and he said it was really cool. He said that it hits the spot really well and that it's the best gine that he has had in a long time.

I would have to agree with the post before the taste is great and I have heard that there is this drink out name "G-Spot" the name is interesting and G'vine drinks are delicious. There drinks go right through your body within seconds.

never mind the man behind the curtain...
every post on this thread is obviously originating from someone behind the viral marketing efforts of this G'vine.
I have to give you kudos for at least realizing that the internet is indeed a great way to market a new product, but posting a bunch of fake comments or starting up some b.s. flogs is not the way to go, and people will soon discover you for what you truly are: sleazy lame-ass web marketers who can't come up with an original idea to save your lives.
I won't try this product, JUST because of your lame ass attempts to try and get me to by writing fake comments on various sites (this is not the first one that I've seen for this product). I mean, seriously, look at these posts. No one writes like that!

'youarelame',
So they were a little naive; and their actions declasse, but they certainly weren't malicious. At least they're not running around badmouthing their competitors in comments and leaving bogus bad reviews.
I like gin, and while their actions (and a drink named "g-spot") embarrass me, I'll certainly give g'vine a try.
