Refinery 29 talks glou glou wine with Coly Den Haan

When's the last time you heard that intimidating yet invigorating chant, "chug! chug! chug!"?
In my younger days, that chorus was both a signal that it was time to prove myself and that my friends and I — as well as the people who we desperately wanted approval from — were about to have a good time. Unfortunately, though, back then, the chug chant was always paired with a heaping dose of self-doubt and slightly warm, cheap beer or worse, a Smirnoff Ice.

That's why I'm so glad to have discovered what many aficionados are now referring to as "glou-glou wine."
