Look up Mega Purple. It is a wine additive that causes this. Without trying to sound like a jerk, it is typically present in lower end wines

is that cheap? €6 for a bottle of wine here will get you a pretty decent wine, cheap is like €3

Well, I saw the humour in it.

This also happens with naturally occurring anthocyanins in plants, and grapes are one of the plants that produce anthocyanin pigments. It’s just a reaction to a different pH.

Yup, many anthocyanins turn blue at pH 8 and above. Some also turn green. A few drips of wine in alkaline water and there you go! You can test it by slowly adding lemon juice or vinegar and watch the color go back the other direction to reddish hues.

I noticed this when making blackberry jelly. My tap water has a high pH and the blackberry juice would turn bright blue when diluted with tap water.

I wish they had to label if a wine has adjuncts. Making below average wine decent with additives is the reason I only buy organic.

Sometimes I add a little red transmission fluid to the tank when filling my car with diesel. I recently discovered a small fuel leak under the car and the drop of fuel looked blue like this water (but a little more saturated). Do you think there is Mega Purple in my lower-end ATF?

Wine residue often turns water unexpected shades of purple or blue

Your water is slightly alkaline as it turned the anthocyanins from wine blue. It’s ok, just means lots of dissolved minerals.

If there was wine still in the glass you changed the pH of the wine with the water. Mega purple or not this will happen. Lower pH wines will have a more ruby color and higher pH wines will have more blu-ish hues.

I haven’t had a glass of red wine and it still looks blue to me.

I didn't drink any wine today, but I see light blue water too! What kind of witchery is this?

If you drink enough red wine pretty soon you can't even find the glass, never mind what color it is.

When your wife wants to kill you... Does your blur water also smell like Windex?

How did your tap water drink a glass of wine? (Maybe have chatgpt or someone rewrite that for you)

Mmm; Windex.

I think you drunk more than a glass. Given that you thought about posting a photo of a glass of water.
