Mariani Amalgamated has announced the release of Vin Mariani, a wine infused with leaves from authentic coca plants.

A recent press release revealed that UK-based Mariana Amalgamated, Ltd. was able to get approval for use of coca in their red wines. The wines are brewed and bottled in Peru, then exported.

No, these wines won’t give you unbridled energy, give you the shakes or cause any effects that differentiate them from regular wines. At least not in North America.

“For markets where coca-based products are not permitted we will be using what is referred to as denatured coca leaves”, the company clarified in a press release.

“This process is exactly the same as that of the Coca Cola Company, which uses denatured coca leaves as the capstone ingredient in its Coca-Cola drink. At present and ironically the Coca Cola Company is the one and only company allowed by the United States to import coca leaves. This, of course, has created much controversy.”

In addition to the wine, the company has plans to include beauty and hygiene products, foods, teas and more with a coca base.

According to historical accountings coca-based wine is nothing new, per se. In fact the first coca wine 'Vin Mariani (French: Mariani's wine)' was a tonic created circa 1863 by Angelo Mariani, a chemist who became intrigued with coca and its economic potential after reading Paolo Mantegazza's paper on coca's effects. In 1863 Mariani started marketing a wine called Vin Mariani which was made from Bordeaux wine treated with coca leaves. The ethanol in the wine acted as a solvent and extracted the coca from the coca leaves, altering the drink's effect. It originally contained 6 mg of coca per fluid ounce of wine, but Vin Mariani which was to be exported contained 7.2 mg per ounce in order to compete with the higher coca content of similar drinks in the United States.
