In the spine-chilling Attack on Titan universe, it’s best to think twice before sipping any glass of red wine. Fortunately, things are different in the real world – Japanese liquor store Kurand is selling actual Marleyan red wine that’s much safer than its anime counterpart.

Kurand’s Marleyan red wine is produced by Kobe Winery. It’s a renowned winery that opened in 1983 and has about 40 hectares of dedicated cropland for wine production.

The red wine is made with 2 wine grape varieties – Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Cabernet Sauvignon is a popular variety used in the making of red wines. Its taste ranges from hints of black pepper to bell pepper. Meanwhile, Merlot is equally popular and generally has a fruitier taste.

The grapes used for the red wine are cultivated in Kobe, aged in wine barrels for 18 months, and then hand-squeezed by the winery.
According to Kurand, the wine has a dry finish and is best paired with seafood, such as fish, shellfish, and shrimps. Each bottle measures 750ml and contains 12% alcohol.

Each bottle of wine purchased comes with a special bottle opener engraved with the Military Police Brigade logo and the show’s name.
Each bottle of Marleyan red wine costs ¥8,800 (~USD79.76). Sales began on 11th June and will end on 7th July. The product is scheduled to be shipped out from late July 2021 onwards. If you’re in Japan, order your bottle here.
