Jalapeños in your wine?! Meet Spicy Sauvy B, the viral drink turning Sauvignon Blanc into a fiery summer slay

TikTok has officially turned wine-drinking on its head – again. Just when you thought putting ice in your vino was the ultimate rebel move, here comes Spicy Sauvy B, the chaotic-good drink twist no one saw coming. Frozen jalapeño slices in your Sauvignon Blanc? Sounds wild, tastes iconic.
Jalapeños are the new ice cubes?! Yup, it's a thing!
This eye-popping combo is blowing up under the hashtag #SpicyWine, where wine moms, influencers, and wannabe sommeliers are throwing caution (and tradition) to the wind. Think: crisp white wine swirling with bright green chilli slices – part cocktail, part content gold.
What exactly is Spicy Sauvy B?
At its core, Spicy Sauvy B is a tall glass of Sauvignon Blanc with frozen jalapeño rounds acting as quirky, spicy ice cubes. It chills the wine and adds a soft, tingly heat that hits different on a summer afternoon. No sugar bombs or fancy mixers – just nature's kick and a bit of chill.
Sommeliers have weighed in, saying this combo slaps when paired with fruit-forward Sauv Blancs from New Zealand or Chile. Why? Because the pepper's gentle heat balances beautifully with the wine's zesty citrus and tropical vibes. Basically, it is a spicy spa day in a glass.
Why jalapeños? Why now?
Frozen jalapeños do not just spice things up – they look amazing. Their bright green colour against the pale gold of the wine makes for an aesthetic drink worthy of any feed. Plus, the freezing process slightly mutes the spice, making it more sassy than scary.
Also, Sauvignon Blanc is having its main character moment this summer. It is already the star of the Sauvy B Martini, and now with this TikTok twist, it is proving to be the versatile bestie of boozy trends.
How to make Spicy Sauvy B
Slice a jalapeño into thin rounds. Seeds in or out – your choice.
Pop the slices in the freezer for two hours.
Pour 4–5 ounces of chilled Sauvignon Blanc.
Drop in 3–4 frozen jalapeño slices.
Sip. Flex. Post it to your story.
And just like that, you are drinking the internet's favourite spicy stunner.

TikTok's owner wanted to publish books, not anymore

News of the press's demise, which was reported earlier by the The Bookseller, came as a shock to authors who were swayed by the possibility that 8th Note could help engineer bestsellers with elaborate marketing campaigns on TikTok. Instead, 8th Note has started taking down digital editions of their books, effectively unpublishing them. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads?

Instead, 8th Note has started taking down digital editions of their books, effectively unpublishing agent Mark Gottlieb, who sold the debut novel "To Have and Have More" to 8th Note, said the company was doing "irreparable damage" to its authors by shutting down so haphazardly. While publishing imprints frequently come and go, the books and authors they publish are usually moved elsewhere within the parent company, rather than being taken out of circulation entirely. If a book is published then quickly disappears, it can be difficult to resell it to another publisher, Gottlieb said."They're wrecking careers in the process of doing this," he said of 8th Note. "If you're an author and this is your first book, what the history is going to show is that your book published and quickly went out of print."The publisher's precipitous fall was surprising, given its parent company's vast resources and last year, the press seemed poised to expand. In October, its executives announced a partnership with the publisher Zando to put out print editions of its books and distribute them to physical bookstores. The plan was to release 10 to 15 titles a year, with a focus on romance, romantasy and young adult fiction.

But despite its built-in promotional power, 8th Note did not deliver any breakout blockbusters, and some agents say it did little to market many of its titles. Currently, digital editions of many of its titles are no longer for sale, though print editions for some titles released with Zando can still be purchased."It's been so unfortunate for the authors," said Jill Marr, an agent at the Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency, who represents two authors who write under the pseudonym June selling the rights to Kaye's novel, "37 Questions," to 8th Note in November, the publication did not proceed smoothly, Marr said.
