Kungfu Girl, a wine that enjoys immense popularity in Finland, is also available as a high-quality, low-alcohol option: Kungfu Girl Riesling 8%, an alcoholic drink mix made from grapes by fermentation. This semi-dry beverage is refreshingly acidic, with a generous fruitiness characterized by citrus and apple notes. It is an excellent social drink and pairs beautifully with spicy Asian cuisine. Behind Kungfu Girl lies a remarkable story. The original creator of Kungfu Girl, Charles Smith—a former rock band manager turned winemaker—found inspiration for his wine during a movie night with a friend. On television was Quentin Tarantino’s classic film Kill Bill. In one scene, Lucy Liu and Uma Thurman are fighting, while at the same time, Charles was eating Asian takeout and sipping a glass of Riesling. This unplanned combination sparked the idea for Kungfu Girl wine.
