VOLUTE LAUNCHES FIRST PREMIUM PORTABLE WINE

Single-Serve Premium Portable Wine Is Ideal for On-the-Go

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, September 1, 2008 – Volute Wine announced today the introduction of its new line of single-serve Bordeaux AOC wines packaged in shatterproof, eco-friendly, aluminum bottles. This is a big breakthrough because for the first time, wine lovers can enjoy premium wine outdoors, or in venues that ban glass, thanks to Volute’s new line of premium wines that come in truly portable single-serve containers.

“Volute launched this new category of premium portable wines to respond to the need for a high quality wine in an eco-friendly container designed for the outdoors, or anywhere traditional wine and glasses are not convenient. The Volute Wine bottles are single-serve, so you can go ahead and open your own bottle anytime you want just a glass, at home or anywhere.” said Volute Wine Founder Amine Bouayad.

With its sturdy aluminum container and upscale design, Volute Wine is ideal to bring in a cooler for the pool, to toss in a tote bag for the beach, or serve at a neighborhood barbeque. The bottles fit comfortably in backpacks, are lightweight, and can travel wherever glass bottles are not practical.

As opposed to glass, aluminum is ecologically more responsible since it is more commonly recycled, unbreakable, and generates less transportation-related pollution due to its lower weight. In fact, the carbon footprint of transporting Volute Wine bottles is 30% less than transporting the same volume of wine in glass bottles. That is the gain typically realized by switching from a gasoline only car to a hybrid. Aluminum containers are also better for the wine, since they shield the wine from damaging ultraviolet light, protecting its delicate, fragrant aromas.

The Volute Oenologist works with a select group of small, independent and forward-thinking wineries in Bordeaux, France that comply with the highest standard of French winemaking – the AOC standard. She meticulously oversees the entire wine production process – from vine to bottle – to deliver a great tasting wine that reflects the Volute personality.

Volute Wine comes in three varieties: a white sauvignon, a rosé cabernet, and a red merlot.

The stately and curvy brushed-grey aluminum 187ml bottle features an ornamental spiraling flourish – called a volute. Volute wine retails for around $4 a bottle, and can be purchased in cases of 12 or 24 online at www.volutewine.com or by the unit in retail stores.
