What they
are saying about Bagged Wine Wine Business Monthly - April 2003 New
company, Bagged Wine, Offers Blind Tasting Kit Jim Kennedy recently announced the formation of wine
accessory company Bagged Wine. Bagged Wine offers Blind Tasting
Kits, which consist of drawstring bags for blind wine tasting. The kits
bags--made of high-quality velvet, stain-resistant and numbered--are
available in three colors (black, maroon, or navy) and come packaged in
sets of five or 20 bags. The Blind Tasting Kit with five bags has a
suggested retail price of $19.95; the Blind Tasting Kit with 20 bags
retails for $59.95. The products were first shown to the wine industry
at Barclay & Company's Advanced Tasting Room Strategies trade
show in early February. According to Kennedy, "With Bagged Wine
products and accessories, one may fully experience wine and wine tasting
in the most elegant manner. For example, with the self contained Blind
Tasting Kit, blind wine tasting has evolved to a new level. No longer
must tasters use brown paper bags and masking tape for blind wine
tasting. Instead they can fully enjoy the encounter with tasteful wine
bags designed specially for blind wine tasting." In addition to
Bagged Wine's Blind Tasting Kit, additional wine products and
accessories for tasting, transporting, and enjoying wine will be
forthcoming. For more information about Bagged Wine, visit their website

of "The Wine Bible" - May 2003 After
years of blinding wines by wrapping fabulous bottles in ugly brown paper
bags, it's a joy to discover Bagged Wine's Blind Tasting Kits. Blind
tasting just got elegant. Swirl Wine News May/June 2003 Youre
kicking it up a notch at this party- the tasting will be blind, so
no one can see exactly what theyre sipping before they proffer their
opinion. You invite your friends, you prepare gourmet nibbles, you
assemble serverle insouciant bottle and cloak them in.. brown lunch
bags? We think not! Instead you choose Tasting Kits from Bagged
Wine. Numbered bags in your choice of black, burgundy (nest-ce pas)
and blue cotton velvet hide wine labels in style while providing an easy
way to ID each bottle. Sold in sets of 1-5 ($19.95) and 1-20 (64.95)

KFWB Food Spot & WCBS Food Spot June 2003 Your very own blind tasting. A
lot of people like to study labels while they sip their wines and this
does add a certain element of enjoyment to the wine-tasting experience.
But professional tasters know that packaging can subtly influence the
objective element of a wine. In professional settings, wine is judged on
its own merits, not how colorful or sophisticated the label is.
Professional tasters usually taste blind without knowing which
wine theyre tasting. Now you can easily do this at home with a new
set of wine bags from a company called Bagged Wine. The wine bags
come in black, maroon and navy and are numbered with large white
numerals. Theyre available in sets of 5 (Starter) or 20 (Collector),
depending how large a wine-tasting party youre having. The bags have
a drawstring with a cordlock at the top, but to complete objectivity. Be
sure to remove the bottles foil entirely. You can get the kits at www.baggedwine.com Bagged Wines products are being used by Bon Appetite
Magazines tasting panel, and have been written up in Fancy Food
Magazine.
