Blue Nun is a German wine brand launched by the company (Mainz) in 1923 with the 1921 vintage, and which between the 1950s and 1980s was a very popular international brand. For most of its existence, Blue Nun was a single German wine, which until the late 1990s was classified as a Liebfraumilch, but the name is now used for a whole range of wines of various origins. When it was created, the label was designed as a consumer-friendly alternative to the innumerable German wine labels with Gothic script and long, complicated names. With the creation of its UK office in 1927, Sichel targeted the export market. Beginning in the 1950s, Blue Nun was advertised as a wine that could be drunk throughout an entire meal, thereby eliminating the often intimidating problem of wine and food pairing. Blue

  • Blue Nun is a German wine brand launched by the company (Mainz) in 1923 with the 1921 vintage, and which between the 1950s and 1980s was a very popular international brand. For most of its existence, Blue Nun was a single German wine, which until the late 1990s was classified as a Liebfraumilch, but the name is now used for a whole range of wines of various origins. When it was created, the label was designed as a consumer-friendly alternative to the innumerable German wine labels with Gothic script and long, complicated names. With the creation of its UK office in 1927, Sichel targeted the export market. Beginning in the 1950s, Blue Nun was advertised as a wine that could be drunk throughout an entire meal, thereby eliminating the often intimidating problem of wine and food pairing. Blue Nun can be said to have been the first wine to have been produced and effectively marketed with an international mass market in mind. After World War II, the brand became widely popular in the United Kingdom and the United States, selling for the same price as a second growth red Bordeaux wine. At its peak of popularity in 1984–1985, annual sales in the U.S. were 1.25 million cases, with another 750,000 cases sold in other markets. During the 1970s in the U.S., a series of radio adverts promoting the wine were produced, featuring Stiller and Meara. Their ads were so effective, they boosted sales by 500%. From the late 1980s, and more so in the 1990s, easy-drinking, semi-sweet German wines began to decline in popularity. Consequently, the brand's popularity declined, and the wine began to be perceived as tacky and dated. This change was reflected in the drink of choice of Alan Partridge, a fictional, over-the-hill British television and radio presenter. However, sales increased after Blue Nun was purchased by the Mosel-based German family firm Langguth, which bought the previous owners Sichel in 1996. They repositioned the brand, reclassifying it from a Liebfraumilch to a regular Qualitätswein bestimmter Anbaugebiete (QbA), changing the grapes from Müller-Thurgau to 30% Riesling, and making it less sweet. It remains relatively low in alcohol at 9.5%. (en)
  • «Блю Нан» (Blue Nun) — немецкий винный бренд, принадлежит компании (Майнц). Впервые вышел на рынок в 1923 году с вином урожая 1921 года. За большую часть времени своего существования Блю нан было единственным немецким вином, которое до конца 1990-х классифицировалось как Либфраумильх, но сейчас это имя используется для целого ассортимента вин разного происхождения. Его этикетка была разработана, как более дружественная к потребителю альтернатива бесчисленному количеству винных этикеток с готическим написанием и замысловатыми названиями. Открытием своего офиса в Соединённом королевстве в 1927 Sichel отметил целевой рынок экспорта. Начиная с 1950-х Блю Нан рекламировалось как вино, которое может употребляться в течение всего приёма пищи, тем самым устранив часто пугающую проблему сочетания вина и еды. Можно утверждать, что Блю Нан было первым вином, которое было произведено и эффективно продавалось с учётом международного массового рынка. После Второй мировой войны, в 1950-е годы, бренд стал чрезвычайно популярен в Соединённом королевстве и в США, продаваясь по такой же цене, как вторые вина Бордо. В момент пика своей популярности в 1984—1985 годовые продажи в США составляли 1,25 миллионов ящиков, при 750 000 ящиках, продававшихся в остальном мире. (ru)
