Throwing a party to mercilessly mock the latest Twilight film? Indulging yourself in a vamp-themed costume party? Getting ready for Halloween? Take it one step further and spice up your party with some vampire-themed beverages.
I'm not sure if this is a pathetic attempt to publicize a bad product, or a legitimately campy branding scheme. I'll leave it up to you to decide.
Vampyre (not vampire) Vodka comes in a regular and "blood red" variety and runs about $20 a bottle - both varieties claim to be "wickedly smooth". At 80 proof, it might just be worth the $20 invest to give it a try. It's distilled in England, and got some pretty decent reviews. At best, it's a fun way to spice up a Halloween party. At it's most pathetic, it's a way for vamp-wannabes to add some alcohol to their drink mixes.
Vampire wines are available in Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, White Zinfandel, Pinot Grigio, and Pinot Noir. For the vampire snob fan, they have a Dracula brand of wines in a Syrah and Zinfandel. And don't forget the Chateau du Vampire cabernet!
The vampire wines are grown in the Vampire Vineyards in Paso Robles, California. They encourage you to "sip the Blood of the Vine and enjoy!" I think they might be taking the vampire bit a little too far.
Don't expect super high quality from vampire vineyards: the wines run $9.99 a bottle.
If you're not into wine and vodka, you can give their Witches' Brew beer a try. They also sell Dracola (ha!), and an energy drink called Vamp NRG.
Bad scheme to sell alcohol, or legitimately genius marketing ploy? With all of the Halloween and other theme parties, Vampire Vineyards definitely has the vamp-themed alcohol market cornered.
