Who hasn’t spent an evening enjoying a glass of wine with a plate of cookies. While people can debate the perfect food and beverage pairings for cookies and wine, OREO and Barefoot have blended the perfect solution. OREO THINS Red Blend Wine from Barefoot is waiting to poured.

It doesn’t take a fancy sommelier to explain that certain flavors complement each other. While flavor preferences vary, certain food and beverage pairings can make eating and drinking more enjoyable.

At the same time, many people have the mindset that food and beverages should be enjoyed as you wish. Rules do not need to be followed. Whether the wine drunk from a crystal glass or a red solo cup, the idea is to enjoy the experience.

The same can be said about the food eaten with that wine. While some people love a rich chocolate with a cabernet sauvignon and others prefer to enjoy a sparkling wine with a shortbread cookie, everyone can agree that life is too short to not enjoy a sip and a nibble.

What can drinkers expect from the OREO THINS Red Blend Wine from Barefoot?

This one-of-a-kind offering builds on the idea of pairing chocolate, cookies and cream and a red wine. While there might not been actually OREO pieces helping to ferment the grapes, the complimentary flavors are apparent in each bottle.

As Sydney Kranzmann, Brand Manager, OREO THINS, said, “Everyone knows that red wine pairs well with chocolate, but OREO THINS and America’s most loved wine, Barefoot Wine, are collaborating to take this classic combination to a whole new delicious level.” While Kranzmann asserts that OREO THINS “have always been the perfect OREO cookie for adults,” this collaboration makes that “me time” a little extra special. It is time to put down the milk and raise the wine glass.

According to Jen Wall, Barefoot Wine Maker since 1995, this special red blend is the brand’s “very first cookie-inspired wine.” While Wall says that the Barefoot brand believes in “fun, flavor, and expressiveness,” this special collaboration is a new expression that many people will want to explore.

After much experimentation, Barefoot used a berry-forward, jammy red wine to match the flavors of chocolate and cookies and cream. From the first notes of a chocolatey aroma to the blackberry and dark cherry flavors with a hint of oak, the wine has a lingering finish that satisfies till the last cookie is enjoyed.

From that quiet moment after a long day or a treat to enjoy while watching that favorite movie, this collaboration proves that sometimes food and wine is meant to be a little more fun. Just like how OREO encourages a little playfulness with its cookies, drinking wine doesn’t have to come with a splash of pretentiousness.

If you want to open a bottle of this OREO THINS Red Blend Wine, it will be available for purchase exclusively on BarefootWine.com/oreothins. Available while supplies last, the special offer includes two bottles of wine and one package of OREO THINS for $24.99.

It is time to enjoy a grown-up treat that celebrates a little playfulness. Pour yourself a glass of OREO THINS Red Blend Wine from Barefoot and enjoy some OREO THINS cookies. It might be the sweetest reward that you’ve had all week long.
