Helsinki vampires THE 69 EYES have released their own signature red wine.
A description states: “Love is red. Just like the lips of Juliet. Not far from that balcony of hers comes this Veronese wine. The Helsinki Vampires have always been known for their love of wine, women and song. The 69 Eyes’ wine is red. Just like your lips.”

Sweden Rock Magazine correspondent Daniela Pilic has posted a one-minute video overview of SLAYER‘s recently released Sweden-exclusive red wine. Check it out below. The name of the wine, “Reign In Blood”, is taken from the band’s classic album, which came out in 1986.
“Reign In Blood” was released by the start-up company Brands For Fans.
According to Brands For Fans founder Sari H Wilholm, the response to the wine has been astounding. If the wine is successful, she hopes to export it to other countries.
“The demand has been enormous; we never expected it to be quite like this,” she said.
Asked why it was a good idea to launch a SLAYER wine, Wilholm told Dagens Media, “I think people understand that SLAYER would never attach their name to anything without having been involved throughout the process and having personally tried and approved the product. That kind of commitment, I think, is different from other artists who release similar items.”
The wine, a Cabernet Sauvignon from California, is as uncomprimising and tough as the band. After a couple of Seasons in the Abyss, the wine has an undisputed attitude and a soft nose of dark berry fruits with oak and spicy nuances. Good mouth feel with hints of fresh fruit and juicy, smooth tannins. Well structured and rounded with subtle notes of oak, showing true Divine Intervention. Enjoy it while headbanging, riffing or with food, friends and great music. Reign in Wine!

The elite South Coast Temecula Winery and rock band WARRANT have joined forces to create WARRANT‘s newest Cabernet Sauvignon!
The wine, named appropriately after the band’s hit song “I Saw Red”, is available in the Temecula Valley — where WARRANT guitarist Erik Turner has a home — as well as online to out-of-state wine lovers or collectors.
Official description: “Just like the band that inspired this wine, this Cabernet Sauvignon is bold rugged individualistic with dark and complex characteristics. Warrant, I Saw Red, Cabernet Sauvignon goes beyond the general descriptions and delivers even more. Rich, concentrated character that is layered with ripe black cherry, cassis and blueberry jam fruit aromas are underscored with modest herbal scents and warm, smoky oak tones. Full bodied and velvety upon first taste, this is a supple wine with great varietal intensity.”
Each bottle is hand-signed and numbered by the Turner. Due to limited supply, no discounts will be applied.
