Wine-Infused Caramels

These Bissinger's Treats Combine Chocolate and Wine

— June 30, 2017 — Lifestyle
Chocolate and wine are often served alongside one another at tasting events, but these Bissinger's caramels make it easy to enjoy the tried-and-true pairing in a convenient bite-sized format.

While the Merlot Salt Caramels boast the taste of dark chocolate, sea salt and red wine, the milk chocolate Chardonnay Salt Caramels made with a 300-year-old caramel recipe are described as being "topped with barrel smoked chardonnay fleur de sel." These decadent caramels are in line with a growing number of products that offer a new way to enjoy upscale pairings from alcohol tasting experiences.

To complement its wine-inspired chocolates, Bissinger's put together a chocolate and wine pairing guide so that its customers may experience the best flavors possible from its assorted chocolates and caramels.
Trend Themes
1. Wine-infused Sweets - Creating new confectioneries that combine wine and chocolate opens up opportunities for unique taste experiences.
2. Convenient Gourmet Pairings - Offering bite-sized caramels that encapsulate the flavors of upscale wine and chocolate pairings provides a convenient and luxurious snacking experience.
3. Curated Pairing Guides - Developing pairing guides that help customers pair specific chocolates and wines together enhances the overall enjoyment of these products.
Industry Implications
1. Confectionery - The confectionery industry can explore the creation of more wine-infused sweets to cater to customers looking for unique and luxurious taste experiences.
2. Premium Chocolate - Premium chocolate brands can consider incorporating wine flavors into their products to tap into the growing demand for upscale food pairings.
3. Wine and Spirits - Wine and spirits companies can collaborate with confectionery brands to develop wine-infused sweets that complement their beverages, offering a unique cross-industry experience.
