If you’re among the throngs of wine lovers who often聽wonder what a flame-grilled Whopper might taste like in liquid聽form, wonder no more. Burger King just announced the release of their “Whopper Wine” to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their first store opening in Spain. Their goal is to use the wine as part of a campaign to entice loyal customers to share their favorite Burger King story (ah, the day I had my first chicken fry) for a chance to win one of 40 bottles.
Part of their aim was to create a wine that actually pairs with the Whopper, and to that end the wine has been aged in oak barrels that received a toast from an actual Burger King broiler. The contest is only available for residents in Spain, so unfortunately those of us living in the states will probably never experience what must be a profound vintage.
An actual quote from their commercial:
“With the help from oenologists and sommeliers, we have innovated the winemaking process.”
