TikTok Trend: Putting Jalapenos in White Wine
Have you ever gotten a little too tipsy and accidentally put jalapenos in your glass of white wine instead of your spicy margarita? If you’re having both wine AND margaritas, you might have.
There’s a trend that’s going viral on social media, where people are putting jalapenos in their white wine. Specifically, it’s a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc . . . with frozen jalapenos in it.
People say it’s, quote, “divine” and “refreshing, light, with a little bit of spice.” You’d think that snobby wine experts would FREAK about doing something like this . . . but some of them are actually onboard. Because of SCIENCE.
One expert said that it’s because the wine has organic compounds called pyrazines, which are also found in bell peppers and jalapenos. Sauvignon Blanc can have citrusy characteristics, and some even say it smells “green” and “peppery.”
