Voga Italia Sparkling Pinot Grigio

Filed under: Wine

Here's a relatively inexpensive yet festive and delectable alternative to fancy champagne for frugal Valentine's Day celebrations: Voga Italia's Sparkling Pinot Grigio.

My colleague Deidre Woollard first wrote about the fashionable brand back in 2006; the Sparkling Pinot Grigio (right) is the latest addition to their luxe lineup.

Voga Italia "transformed the traditional, stuffy wine bottle into a distinctive, glamorous shape." The curvier clear glass bottle of the Sparkling is sealed with a traditional cork and topped with a resealable, airtight cap.

Voga Sparkling is made from 100% Pinot Grigio from the mountainous province of Trentino and the Veneto region (home to Venice) of Northern Italy.

At 12% alcohol, it's a striking golden color with a fine effervescence, aromas of white blossoms and ripe fruit, and a clean citrusy finish. It sells for $15.99.

Voga Italia, The Fashionable Wine

I don't usually get my wine tips from Vogue but the advertisement for Voga Italia caught my eye because the bottle is so distinctive. It reminded me instantly of the bottle for Voss water. But this isn't water, there's a cork under the cap and the modern bottle contains a fruity Pinot Grigio. The wine is cheap, around $10. And a quick survey of the blogosphere reveals mixed reviews. Dave and Faye described it as tasting like grape juice (and took a lovely picture of the bottle), The Savory Notebook said it was quite good and Drank Tank was so smitten with the packaging that the wine may still be on the shelf.
