BAGGED WINE EXPANDS PRODUCT LINE WITH PRODUCTS FOR THE GIFT BASKET MARKET

 

Blind Wine Tasting Kits Now Available For Gift Baskets

 

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., August 26, 2003 – Building on the success of its initial products, Bagged Wine announces the availability of wine tasting kits for the gift basket market.

According to Jim Kennedy, Bagged Wine’s President, “Since the introduction of our first products, the response has been very encouraging.   Feedback from the industry indicated that three bags was ideal, so we created the three bag "Intro" kit specifically for the gift basket market and have gotten positive initial reaction from the industry.

Bagged Wine’s Blind Tasting Kits consist of high-quality, stain-resistant, numbered velvet bags with cord lock closures for blind wine tasting.  The new kit, called “Intro” is available in three colors – black, maroon, or navy – and comes packaged with a set of 3 bags. The kits have a wholesale price of $5.50.  Bagged Wine’s Blind “Intro” Tasting Kits are available immediately though its representatives and directly from Bagged Wine.

“I can't emphasize enough the importance of blind wine tasting in this time of confusion in the wine industry.  From the Charles Shaw phenomenon to the general consensus of over priced wine, consumers can be confused and even misled by the bottle.  Labels are simply a way to identify wine, though they bring with them the great ability to influence and confuse wine drinkers. Blind tasting is the only way for consumers to judge wine accurately and impartially, “ according to Mr. Kennedy

In addition to Bagged Wine’s new “Intro” Blind Tasting Kit, it has the “Starter” Blind Tasting Kit with 5 bags that has a suggested retail price of  $19.95; and “Collector” Blind Tasting Kit with 20 bags that retails for $59.95.  Bagged Wine’s Blind Tasting Kits are available though wineries, wine retailers, and directly on its website at www.baggedwine.com.
