Product details
Au Black Grape Vodka Spirit Drink is a sweet black grape vodka drink from British brand Au Vodka, bottled at 35.2% ABV in a 70cl bottle. It pours a deep, glossy purple and tastes of ripe dark grapes, closer to a grape cordial than to a dry fruit vodka. Because its strength sits below the 37.5% legal minimum for vodka, the label calls it a vodka spirit drink. That sweetness and colour make it a natural choice for long, iced drinks with lemonade or soda, aimed at adults who like a fruit-forward glass.
Au Black Grape flavour profile
- Nose: Ripe black grape juice and blackcurrant, with a faint floral hint of violet.
- Palate: Sweet and juicy like grape cordial, with soft vodka warmth sitting beneath the fruit.
- Finish: Fruity and fairly long, fading to a light, slightly tannic grape-skin note.
In a tall glass with ice it shows as a dark violet, turning lighter and brighter once a clear mixer goes in.
How to drink Au Black Grape
Serve it well chilled over plenty of ice in a highball rather than neat, as this sweet grape vodka drink is easier to enjoy when lengthened. Salty snacks balance the fruit nicely, and it also works next to a cheese board with aged Cheddar or a few squares of dark chocolate. It suits a summer barbecue or a relaxed evening with friends.
What to mix with Au Black Grape
- Au Black Grape lemonade: pour 50 ml over ice, top with 150 ml cold lemonade and add a squeeze of lime.
- Grape and Soda Spritz: 40 ml in a large wine glass with ice and 100 ml soda water, garnished with a few frozen red grapes.
- Dark Grape Fizz: 50 ml and 15 ml fresh lime juice over ice in a highball, topped with 100 ml ginger ale.
How it compares
Within the Au range, Au Blue Raspberry is sharper and more sherbet-like, while Black Grape is rounder, darker and jammier. Au Original Plain Vodka is the dry, unflavoured option at 40%, showing citrus and pepper instead of fruit. Outside the brand, Boë Dark Fruits Vodka offers blackberry and blackcurrant at a full 40%, with more tartness and noticeably less sweetness.
Good to know
Keep an opened bottle somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight to protect that vivid colour. Wodka Company posts Au Black Grape 70cl to homes across the UK, and it sits well in a gift selection alongside other bottles from the Au fruit range.
Frequently asked questions
Are the grapes in Au Black Grape British?

What can I mix with Au Black Grape?
Lemonade is the go-to mixer for Au Black Grape, poured over plenty of ice and finished with a squeeze of lime. For a drier long drink, replace half the lemonade with soda water so the blackcurrant and grape-skin notes come through more clearly.
Is Au Black Grape similar to Boë Dark Fruits?
No. Au Black Grape is a sweet vodka spirit drink with a rounded, cordial-like grape flavour, whereas Boë Dark Fruits Vodka is a flavoured vodka with tarter blackberry and blackcurrant and a noticeably drier finish.
