The Blueberry Side of E-40's Wine Empire
When E-40 introduced the Blueberry and Orangesicle sparklers in March 2022, press coverage framed the blueberry as the "more traditional" of the two — berry-forward sweetness on a familiar sparkling-wine base, in the same family as the brand's Watermelon, Mango Peach, and Cotton Candy expressions. It is the crowd-pleaser of the pair: less novelty, more repeat pours.
Tasting Notes
Blueberry candy and fresh berry sweetness over lightly effervescent white wine. Serve it cold and it drinks like a sparkling blueberry dessert wine — simple, sweet, and unapologetic.
How to Enjoy
Chill and pour as an easy party sparkler, or run a side-by-side with the Orangesicle from the Earl Stevens shelf to pick your favorite. It also mixes into a simple blueberry mimosa with orange juice.
