Coke and red wine, shaken, not stirred
Sep 13, 2012
(BDLive) - THE Spanish call it calimocho (also spelled kalimotxo). In Chile, it’s known as jote and in Germany, kora or korea. If you’d like to order it in any of the former Yugoslavian countries, ask for bambus. And if you’re in Angola, Mozambique, Namibia or SA, request catemba. It’s also big in Asia.
Indeed, the 50-50 mixture of red wine and cola is more popular than you might imagine. Legend has it that the combination — think sweet sangria without the fruitiness — originated at a festival in Algorta, Spain, in the summer of 1972, when a group of traders discovered the wine they planned to sell was so dreadful that they added Coca-Cola and ice to disguise the flavour. These days, great volumes of the drink are widely consumed, particularly during the warmer months. And, if Stellenbosch-based wine and cider producer and marketer Stellen Fine Wines has its way, it is about to get even more fashionable.
