'Star Trek' Warps Into the Wine Frontier with Château Picard
Well, a good plug for Star Trek, at least.
No word on whether they're going to package Andorian Ale, Saurian Brandy, or Klingon Bloodwine.

Calling all wine-loving Trekkies, Wines That Rock has released a special line of vintage, perfectly themed "Star Trek" wines that are sure to taste better than synthehol.
The collection includes wines inspired by the "Star Trek" universe and features a cabernet sauvignon and merlot blend from Bordeaux, France, inspired by "Star Trek: The Next Generation" Capt. Jean-Luc Picard, played by Patrick Stewart. Picard's family vineyard is located in the La Barre region of France, according to Trek canon.
But while Picard's family is fictionally rooted in La Barre, there is a real-life vineyard in Bordeaux, France, which goes by the name Château Picard. Interestingly, this vineyard has no relation to the fictional captain and existed long before "Star Trek" ever aired.
The United Federation of Planets wine is bottled in distinctly Trek packaging, with a uniquely squared-off bottle that features the "Star Trek" delta and the United Federation of Planets insignia. Wines that Rock has made both wines available online, and they will also be featured this week at "Star Trek" Las Vegas.
No word on whether they're going to package Andorian Ale, Saurian Brandy, or Klingon Bloodwine.
