THEY’VE PIONEERED the ‘chicken fry’. They’ve made ‘black’ burgers. And now, Burger King is heading in an entirely new direction – wine.
A wine that has the distinct taste of the fiery grill that makes their Whopper burger, of course.
A red wine – named Whopper Wine, duh – has been launched for a limited time in Spain to celebrate the burger chain’s 40 years in the country.
The company says the wine was aged in ‘flame-grilled wooden barrels’ to give it a ‘charred’ flavour (erk) that goes well with their signature Whopper burger.
Burned wine. Mmm.
According to Metro, the wine is a nod to Burger King’s history in Spain – back in 1975, when the chain first opened there, wine was added to the menu to entice the locals.
We’re not too enticed by this. Stick to the burgers, guys.
