Hues and nuance

"The people want pink, so give them rosé"!
Just when I thought I'd heard (and tasted) the worst of it I've been introduced to the concept of "sauvignon noir". No, of course there's no such thing. It's simply sauvignon blanc dyed red. Some people use kola seeds. They say that's specifically for the Chinese, we westerners can apparently make do with cochineal-tinted beverages. I guess it's organic and biodynamic and what-have-you either way, but it probably won't detract from the fact that, just like all other novelty wines, it's strong suits lie not in the taste.
