Blue beverages hold a weird fascination for science fiction writers. Remember Luke Skywalker pouring himself a glass of blue Bantha milk back home on Tattooine? And the characteristic blue hue of Star Trek's Romulan Ale, which Bones McCoy only uses "for medicinal purposes"?

Now cosplayers can quit waiting for Pepsi Blue to come back and indulge in a blue beverage of their own -- blue wine, made by Spanish winemakers Gik Live.

As if the color didn't already clue you in, don't expect stuffy tradition from these folks.

"Gïk is bo for fun," the site proclaims. "To shake things up a little and see what happens. To create something new. Something different. Why a blue wine?, you wonder. And why not?"
