Blue NunBlue Nun is a brand of German wine, specifically Liebfraumilch. It became spectacularly popular in the United Kingdom in the mid-1970s but became a symbol of poor taste which no self-respecting wine lover would drink. Blue Nun has been somewhat rehabilitated by the German family firm Langguth which bought the brand, along with the owning firm, Sichel, in 1996. They repositioned and reengineered the brand, upgrading it from a Liebfraumilch to a QbA, changing the grapes from Mller-Thurgau to 30% riesling, and making it less sweet. The also introduced other wines under the name, including a German ice wine, a Languedoc merlot and a Spanish rosé.
