# Bacon-Inspired Wines 'Bacon' Wine is a Delightful Companion to the Popular Meat Product By Justin Lam | Published 2018-02-12 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-wine References: [thedrinksbusiness](https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2018/02/bacon-wine-brand-launches-in-ode-to-the-meat/) & [guarachiwinepartners](http://www.guarachiwinepartners.com/product/bacon/) LA-based wine importer and marketer Guarachi Wine Partners has released Bacon wine. The bold, rich and juicy wine comes from a Rhône-style blend and hails from California's central coast. The name is purely tongue-in-cheek and the wine does not actually contain any actual bacon or any notes of it. Instead, the palette is greeted with hints of peppery spics, bursts of spice [bramble berry jam](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jam-vino), charred caramel and ripe tannins. The wine is aged for one year in oak barrels and contains a 15% ABV. The inspiration for Bacon wine came from the American farm-to-table movement and was designed to complement a variety of dining experiences. According to CEO of Guarachi Wine Partners, Alex Guarachi, "The vision behind Bacon came from my desire to create a one-of-a-kind wine that could be enjoyed by everyone." Guarachi hopes that Bacon wine will eventually find a place at every meal, much like the [pork product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coleman-introduces) it derives its name from.
