Rubis Chocolate Wine 50cl Non Vintage (Case of 2)

Product Information

So, imagine my joy when I found out Morrisons is selling a chocolate wine that taste just like Christmas.

Tried this for the first time today and I just could not resist having a second glass (sherry size). On pouring, the wine is a beautiful ruby colour and on the nose it gave plums and cherry and the wonderful smell of dark chocolate. Rubis can be served at either room temperature or chilled over ice for that ultimate chocolate experience. It can also be used as a cooking ingredient and could be substituted for Port or Sherry in recipes – I can imagine it in a chocolate trifle of some sort. Rubis Chocolate Wine Liqueur is a good partner to chocolates (experiment with milk or dark chocolates) and any chocolate-based desserts, puddings or cakes.Before the person was sacrificed, they were given cacao drinks mixed with human blood to prepare them as an offering to the Gods.

The company’s Instagram has some great suggestions, such as a Chocolate Negroni, a Chocolate Toffee Espresso Martini, or the dreamy Mon Cherie. And Morrisons' reckons the sweet wine tastes just like "Christmas in a cup", adding that it's perfect for cosy winter nights.

The Aztecs used a process of separating cacao beans from the pod which involved cracking the pod open and allowing the flesh to ferment into a drink.

Similar to an Affogato, instead of a shot of espresso, pour a heart glug of Rubis Chocolate wine over the top. The bottle comes in a beautiful box and is suitable for someone who loves dessert wine as a present. Elsewhere, we found The Chocolate Block red wine at Waitrose, which is a red wine with "chocolatey notes". Notes of rich cherry and red fruit enveloped in velvety dark chocolate makes it a perfect accompaniment to most desserts such as rich chocolate fondants and fruit filled tarts. As cacao was so precious it was also used as a currency so was not immune to forgery attempts using avocado stones and wax.

Its quite strong if youre not used to drinking much like me, I had a small shot of it and I already feel like I cant walk haha.
