Nope, but I can't expect to be the only one with good taste! Do they have a similar recipe?

Gatorwine is a thing that the internet has made known. It's a mix of wine and blue Gatorade. Babish mixed some up as part of an "I do your suggestions" episode.

Turns out that it isn't as horrible as it would seem. To the contrary, he liked it and did a second episode mixing up more varieties. So now it's a thing everywhere since he's fairly popular.

I could kind of see that working. Wine coolers are soda and wine, sangria is wine and juice, gatorade is just kool-aid and salt so it's somewhere between soda and juice. It's not classy, but it's not bad.

I tried it just for the hell of it.

Your comparison to wine coolers is dead on, imo. It has that same overall profile where it's sweet and easy to drink. It isn't great, but it's not bad, and I could see someone that lollies likes drinking going through gallons of it. I don't like drinking, and I managed to kill a whole glass, which is saying a lot for me.
