Say hello to Hello Kitty wine
Unsurprisingly, Hello Kitty wine mostly manifests as a rosé. And if you fit into the niche group of Hello Kitty fans who are over 21, you will probably love it.
Sanrio and Italy's Torti Winery partnered to ferment grapes into a few wines that perfectly capture Hello Kitty's aura.

Sanrio consistently looks for products and engagement points to continue deliver something newness and uniqueness to fans. The Hello Kitty Wine collection has delivered a new experience to the adult fan and is a licensed product from Europe, produced in partnership with Torti Wines. It has had limited distribution in the United States since 2010. The collection is currently available at specialty wine and grocery channels, and currently served exclusively at Antonello Ristorante in Santa Ana, CA.
