Meteorite wine

Last night, a little sad I drank a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. The sky was clear, he sparkled with thousands of stars. I wasted an idea that would confuse the astronomy and wine?

The mix between space and wine led to the creation of "Meteorito", which already gives us a concrete evidence. Meteorito is simply a label for a bottle of wine aged in barrels and flavored with the meteorite. Go back a little story to understand the in and out. 

So here we are in Chile which is Cachapoal Valley. It is precisely here located the vineyard of Ian Hutchinson producer of Cabernet Sauvignon. In addition to his work as a winemaker, this is English passion for astronomy, he also launched his own observatory in 2007 "centro astronomico Tagua Tagua".


Hutchinson Field is known for hosting many space debris, man has found a good idea to age your wine with these pieces from outer space. Thus the Spacewine is born!


The meteorite that marine currently in Chilean barrels would hit Earth 6,000 years ago and it would come from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It measures still 7.62 inches in diameter and give the wine taste "more alive". It will believe the word of the producer, since he believes to market its drink, it has not yet done.


Moreover, this meteorite is not his, he did for the role of the study. Technically it is owned by an American collector who seems to have clearly in mind their most valuable space rock quietly immersed in a barrel of red wine for 12 months.

So now, astronomy buffs have their very own brand of wine. "When you drink this wine, you are drinking elements from the birth of the solar system," Hutchinson said, adding that he wanted "to give everybody the opportunity to touch something from space: the very history of the solar system, and feel it via a grand wine."

For us it is finally the opportunity to taste the elixir semi-alien head in the stars.
