Put down the synthahol and drink to Qapla' with new Klingon Bloodwine
The new Klingon Bloodwine is crafted by an intergalactic sommelier and designed to please palates on multiple planets.
Have you ever wanted to drink like a Klingon?
Finally, you can drink like a warrior and celebrate even the smallest of victories. Wines That Rock, the same company that gave us the Chateau Picard Bordeaux and the United Federation of Planets Old Vine Zinfandel, is now coming out with Klingon Bloodwine and United Federation of Planets Sauvignon Blanc.
The company has gone to great lengths to pay attention to "Star Trek" details — the press release even came in both English and Klingon. In addition to working closely with the ViacomCBS Consumer Products team, they consulted a number of "Star Trek" experts and organizations, including the Klingon Assault Group and the Klingon Language Institute.
As a special "Easter egg" for fans, Bloodwine bottles also feature four separate, unique corks that were produced with Klingon proverbs. And as finishing touch, the top of each bottle is dipped in wax, a little bit like Maker's Mark whiskey. If you're looking for an appropriate "Star Trek" glass to go with your wine, Movies On Glass has you covered with this Star Trek Klingon Warrior Bloodwine toasting glass.

According to the press release, "Cabernet sauvignon grapes were used to create this traditional Bloodwine, cultivated to produce strong flavors that glisten a vibrant ruby color in the glass with aromas of dark chocolate and bold flavors."
The second new addition to this "Star Trek" wine line is the United Federation of Planets Special Reserve Sauvignon Blanc. Each limited-edition bottle is individually numbered and was inspired by the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" official issue uniforms.

When Scott's application to the NASA astronaut training program was turned down, he was naturally upset...as any 6-year-old boy would be. He chose instead to write as much as he possibly could about science, technology and space exploration. He graduated from The University of Coventry and received his training on Fleet Street in London. He still hopes to be the first journalist in space.
