It is the first white spirit to made from grape vine flowers of the Ugni Blanc rather than the grapes themselves. The spirit is distilled in small batches with a blend of nine botanicals: ginger root, licorice, green cardamom, cassia bark, coriander, juniper berries, cubeb berries, nutmeg and lime. It’s then blended with the flowers of the Ugni Blanc leaves and distilled again.
The flavors make it sound like the perfect crossover gin for people who swear they hate the stuff, which seems to be a lot of people. There is so much good stuff out there though, it's definitely a drink that's worth checking out if you haven't in a while.
Ugni Blanc is a grape grown in the Cognac region but sounds like a place in The Lord of the Rings. GONDOR NEEDS NO GIN! ON TO UGNI BLANC!

Hey, I don't mind marketing companies talking to me or leaving comments, but be reasonable about it.
They sent me an e-mail with an apology and were pretty cool about it. Hey, I've gotten carried away before too. I think they finally figured out that it brings more bad blood than cooperation from bloggers.
You can say that about pretty much any drink that's out there, I'm not sure how it's very relevant to say it about G'Vine unless you're a competitor.
Packaging can be everything, just look at Voss Water.
