Beverages incorporating thin, edible sheets of a precious metal are often positioned as luxury items. A common example includes spirits or sparkling wines that have been infused with 23-karat gold leaf, which remains undissolved and visible within the liquid.
The addition of this element enhances perceived value and provides an aesthetic appeal, contributing to a premium drinking experience. Historically, the consumption of gold has been associated with wealth and opulence, reinforcing the product’s image as an indulgence.
