Boomerang Vodka
Foster's Wine Estates has created a 100% grape based vodka named Boomerang. The grapes are Chardonnay grapes from the Barossa Valley and the vodka is five times distilled, charcoal filtered and bottled close to its source in South Australia.
Vintner Chris Williams believes Boomerang will be the next boom drink on the international market. "As a sector I think it's an area that has a huge potential," he says. "There are (grape) surpluses, depending on the varietals, in various parts of the world. So it wouldn't surprise me to see a grape-based vodka out of Chile, Argentina (or) South Africa.
"I also think the quality is better (than grain-based vodkas) and, to be very honest, not every country producing grapes is putting every grape into a bottle of wine."
Bottles of the new spirit are set to be priced around $19.99 and should already be showing up on shelves.
