Twin Fin is Cruisin' With a New Package; The Beach Cruiser 187ml 4-Pack Hits the Market in April

Twin Fin, the brand that prefers sunny days to darkcellars, suggests another way to enjoy wine while celebrating thespirit of the California lifestyle, with The Beach Cruiser. While thename conjures up images of colorful, retro bicycles with fat tires andbanana seats, the reality is a convenient, brightly-colored 4-Pack of187ml bottles.

Four-packs of the 187ml wines will be available to retailersnationally in April for a suggested retail price of $9.99. The BeachCruiser will offer the Twin Fin California Chardonnay and CaliforniaCabernet Sauvignon.

"The Beach Cruiser offers a way to inject a dose of fun into thetraditional 187ml market," says Mandy Roth, Associate Brand Managerfor Twin Fin. "We're riding the momentum of steady growth in thepremium 187ml category, and Twin Fin hopes to up the ante yet again."Evidence shows that consumers continue trading up to brands in 187mlpackaging priced between $7 and $9, especially among Twin Fin's target25- to 35-year-old emerging wine consumers.

With vibrant imagery and a colorful shipper, The Beach Cruisersets Twin Fin (www.twinfinwines.com) apart from the competition,screaming "take me to the beach!" The 4-Pack is an easy tote forpicnics, campouts, and of course, beach parties. Single-serve winesare a great alternative for testing out new brands and varietalswithout a huge commitment.
