Inspired by wine, not literally wine
Red Wine Ice is the kind of flavour that splits opinion in the vape community. Some people read it as elegant; others find it strange. What it actually is, on the palate, is a dark fruit profile — closer to mulberry and blackcurrant — with a faint tannic note that mimics the dryness of a red wine, and a measured chill on the exhale.
There’s no alcohol, no fermentation flavour, no oak. Just the structural elements that make a glass of red feel like a glass of red, abstracted into vape form.

FAQ
Does it taste like alcohol?
No, and it shouldn’t — there’s no alcohol in any vape product. The wine reference is about structure, not ethanol.
Closest comparison in the rest of the range?
Tangy Grape sits in a related corner — grape-with-tannin, but no chill. Black Dragon Ice is the other dark-fruit option.
A wine note, not a wine impression
This is not pretending to be wine. Vape can’t carry tannin or ethanol; what it can carry is the fruit-and-spice fingerprint that a young red wine has on the nose. The reference here is closer to Beaujolais (light, fruity, low tannin) than to a brooding Cabernet — there’s a soft blackberry-and-violet quality up front, a quiet pepper note in the middle, and the Ice element doing what an actual chilled glass of sangria does: brightening the fruit and pulling the sweetness up. No oak, no funk, no leather. If you’ve had a basic Pinot Noir served cold in summer, you’ve tasted the rough flavour shape.
