Custom Wines on the Rise

Casavino Winery was highlighted in several news pieces on custom-made wines over the long Christmas weekend. Great to get the word out on custom-made wines, as we sense this is a trend more eople will want to explore in 2010. From the piece:

"Casavino’s popularity and success has grown every year, with a 30% increase in 2009 sales over last year, and with many customers driving 4-5 hours to the winery to produce their favorite wine. Seventy-eight percent of the Burglin’s business is winemaking; only 20% constitutes purchases by the bottle or glass; and 2% is wholesale sales to local restaurants."

And Jordan added this: "“Any wine in a store can be made here in four to six weeks, from start to finished product,” states Jordan. “Many people think wines should be aged before they’re consumed, but few realize that the vast majority of commercial red wines are aged less than 2 years. And white wines don’t have to be aged.” White “Zin”, for instance, is the typical “first run” of batches made from zinfandel grapes."

Hope to see you soon for your own custom-made wine!

Save BIG on a Casavino Winery gift card at Groupon!

Our friends at Groupon are helping us spread the word on our fantastic holiday season deal - $55 for a $110 giftcard, to be used in any way at our winery in Fountain Hills, AZ.

Here's what Groupon wrote about Casavino Winery today:

"Today’s grapey Groupon preserves the lie with a personalized pour. For $55, you’ll get $110 toward wine at Casavino Custom Winery, a father-and-son-owned winery that specializes in custom bottles and high-quality varietals. With this Groupon, you can create your own batch, customize labels on pre-made bottles, or apply your value toward a wine tasting.

In order to DIYine, you'll start by scheduling a tasting, where you'll sample up to 40 different varietals to determine your favorite flavor. Next, you'll work directly with Casavino's expert wine-makers on primary fermentation. After your wine is deemed quality and ready for bottling, you'll work with the winery's graphic artist to create a custom label before bottling, corking, and labeling it. Custom wine batches start at $250, but you can always opt to just stick a custom label over a pre-made wine; choose from red ($23), white ($19), fruity and blush ($13), or dessert ($18). You may also use your Groupon toward a wine tasting.

Aside from being a thoughtful gift for special occasions, birthdays, or weddings, Casavino's custom wines are also a perfect outlet for self-expression, self-promotion, and people who waste hours debating which label in the wine store is the prettiest."
