You might enjoy starting the day with a strong cup of coffee and rounding it off with a glass of red, but have you ever thought of joining the two together?
That magical mix-up has just occurred in Napa Valley, California, where a coffee shop took red wine from local vineyards and roasted it with coffee beans.
The end result is a rich, full-bodied coffee, which is best served with milk or chilled with ice for a bracing morning pick me up.
The brand, Molinari Private Reserve, took two and a half years to create with the help of John Weaver, a master roaster at Wild Card Roasters.
Describing the coffee on its website, Molinari said: ‘The idea of wine and coffee is not totally new.
Coffee beans have also been found to cut the risk of heart attacks and stroke in a series of scientific studies.
It should be said now though, most of the alcohol is burnt off during the roasting process so a morning cappuccino won’t get you tipsy.
Drinking excessive quantities could have an effect, but you will have to shell out, as it costs $19.95 (£16.20) for a half a pound bag.
The first stocks of the blend have already sold out and the company is roasting more as we speak.
