Wine tryvertising
Isn’t this a great idea! I was on openwineconsortium.com and stumbled across this on their forum. “Tryvertising” is the new catchphrase making the rounds in marketing land. Wine and tryvertising were made for each other. As a matter of fact, I think you could say that wine came up with the idea first, with cellar door tastings, etc. It just didn’t have the catchy name.
A company by the name of Wineside is offering…
“…both sweet and classic wines in patented, flat base glass tubes with screwtops carefully engineered to protect the wines flavour….Wineside’s collection represents a range of appellations and producers…tubes are available individually or by the box…which can be chosen to provide an introduction to a variety, year or region.”
So far, the product is only available in France, natch, but I think this would be a great way to introduce people to wines that they would normally not consider. One to keep an eye on.
