A new TikTok trend features frozen jalapeño slices added to Sauvignon Blanc, dubbed Jalapeño Sauvignon Blanc, becoming a potential summer drink sensation. While some enthusiastically embrace the idea, it leaves wine sellers puzzled. The combination may resonate with the need for signature cocktails during warmer months, as past summers showcased various popular drinks. Wine sellers recognize Sauvignon Blanc's refreshing quality during hotter days, with sales surging, and they speculate the trend fits with other popular fruity wine pairings, blending innovation and tradition.
But the idea of combining frozen jalapeños to a glass of sauvignon blanc still left several local wine sellers scratching their heads.
Chris Brzozowski, the manager at Montague Wine & Spirits in Brooklyn Heights, said he hasn't heard about the combination - but was not surprised by it.
Part of the appeal, he said, may be this particular wine's popularity during the hotter months.
Stephanie Goebel from Wright & Goebel Wine & Spirits in Downtown Brooklyn said the trend makes sense when you consider other trendy pairings.
