The wine is made with four types of grapes—Macabeu, Parellada, Xarel·lo and Chardonnay—plus a blend of [natural flower and fruit extracts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensient-marine-blue-capri), which adds the distinctive turquoise hue to the wine. Each bottle of Skyfall Gran Reserva is aged for a period of three years and labelled by hand. Many food and beverage producers are experimenting with the use of the butterfly pea flower for creating blue-hued teas, preserves and other treats. In combination with slightly acidic citrus juice, the butterfly pea flower's pH levels are altered, causing a dramatic color change. Blumond, Gik and Azul are the names of some of the other branded [blue wine beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boom-pop-wine) that can be found across the world. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Natural Color Innovation:** The butterfly pea flower's natural color-changing properties can be utilized industry-wide for new product development such as blue-hued baked goods and confectionaries. - **Elevated Product Packaging:** Artisanal and specialized labeling and packaging of products like Skyfall Gran Reserva can add a luxurious and personalized touch to consumers. - **Unconventional Flavor Blends:** Combining natural fruit and flower blends, like Skyfall Gran Reserva, can create unique and exciting flavor combinations in the beverage and food sectors. ### Where This Applies - **Wine and Spirits:** The wine industry can develop unique and specialized blends, like Skyfall Gran Reserva, to attract new consumers and promote experiential drinking. - **Food and Beverage:** Butterfly pea flower extracts and blends can be used in baked goods, confectionaries, and mixology to add a new level of novelty and creativity to established products. - **Luxury and Personalization:** Handcrafted labeling and store display techniques could be used across multiple industries to elevate the branded experience and entice customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Algae-Tinted Blue Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-beers.md) - [Ice-Friendly Sparkling Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/echo-falls-sparkling-summer-garden.md) - [Blue Spirulina Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluwater-beverage.md) - [High-Quality Laidback Canned Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkling-white-wine.md) - [Summer-Ready Sparkling Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-fusion.md) - [Accessible French Sparkling Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freixenet-brut-royal-and-ros-royal.md) - [Premium Sparkling Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freixenet.md) - [Sparkling Green Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vinho-verde.md) - [Non-Alcoholic Fermented Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/three-spirits.md)
