  Kir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kir is a cocktail made with a measure of crème de cassis (flcurrant liquor) topped up with white wine.
Originally the wine was of aligoté, a lesser white grape of Burgundy, and a white Burgundy (which is usually chardonnay-based), such as Chablis, is often preferred.
It is named after Félix Kir (1876 - 1968), mayor of Dijon in Burgundy, who as a pioneer of the twinning movement in the aftermath of the Second World War popularized the drink by offering it at receptions to visiting delegations.

 Kir Kanos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kir Kanos is a fictional character from the Star Wars Expanded Universe, a fervent Imperial loyalist and former Royal Imperial Guardsman in the Dark Horse Crimson Empire comic series.
He proved himself to be the best of his peers during his training- he became a master in the deadly Echani fighting styles, and was an undauntable and powerful adversary with a force pike.
To escape the sight of the Imperial Remnant, Kanos took on the moniker of Kenix Kil (in the secret language of the Royal Guard, an anagram of Kir Kanos) and became a bounty hunter, aiding in his avoidance of the hunters who were after him.

 Make it a kir royale, si vous plait
The affectionate French street term for kir is rince cochon, or pig wash. Believe it or not, that is a term of endearment.
I admit, though, this is neither the usual nor approved method for enjoying a kir, but it does make for lively family gatherings.
Short of ordering over the Internet (clintonvineyards.com), the only way you are likely to enjoy the exquisite treat of a true American kir royale made with Clinton Vineyards' Seyval "Jubilee" brut sparkler ($30), made in traditional methode champenoise style, and their cassis is at their tasting room in Clinton Corners, N.Y., and then at home.

 Kir - All you want to know about drinks on The Worldwide Gourmet
Canon Kir was the Rabelaisian mayor of Dijon from 1945 to 1968 and loved to drink his white wine mixed with a flcurrant liqueur to sweeten the often acidic local whites.
He was so fond of it that it became the official aperitif at town hall receptions and he authorised a flcurrant liqueur producer, Lejay Lagoute, to use his name when promoting their Creme* de Cassis de Dijon.
Officially, one is supposed to make Kir using one third cassis and two thirds wine, but many people find this too sweet so start out using one fifth cassis.

kir Though the French still tend to stick to the term vin blanc cassis (or blancass for short), the name kir has spread the fame of this blend of dry white wine and crème de cassis (flcurrant liqueur) far beyond the borders of France.
