California-based Wander + Ivy expands its wine portfolio with new sparkling varieties and a state-of-the-art $2.2 million bottling line, reaching 43 US states and emphasizing eco-friendly and health-conscious products.
California-based wine innovator Wander + Ivy is making waves in the wine industry with its latest venture into the sparkling wine market and the unveiling of a $2.2 million custom bottling line. Led by CEO and founder Dana Spaulding, the company has launched two new sparkling varieties, introducing effervescent additions to its sophisticated lineup of single-serve wines. As summer approaches, the brand has perfectly timed its expansion, now reaching consumers across 43 US states.
Distinguished for its use of certified organic grapes, the newly introduced sparkling rosé and white wines are anticipated to resonate with the health-conscious wine enthusiast. The rosé, hailing from organic vineyards in Southern France, boasts a light, crisp taste with delicate raspberry and strawberry aromas. Conversely, the sparkling white variety comes from Californian vineyards and offers flavors enriched with vanilla, pear, and apricot undertones, each bottle maintaining zero grams of sugar.
The deployment of the new custom bottling line is a definitive step towards enhancing production efficiency and maintaining the quintessential quality of Wander + Ivy’s offerings. Each 6.3-ounce patented glass bottle promises to preserve the freshness of the wine, thanks in part to an innovative one-piece cap designed for optimal consumer enjoyment.
Amid these developments, Wander + Ivy continues to broaden its market presence through strategic partnerships with leading distributors such as Opici Family Distributing in Delaware, DC, and Maryland, and the Republic National Distributing Company in several other states. These collaborations not only enhance the brand’s visibility but also align with its commitment to empowering women within the industry.
The company’s meticulous focus on quality paired with a flair for design-driven packaging allows Wander + Ivy to deliver a premium wine experience that is both convenient and eco-conscious. Available in upscale retailers like Whole Foods and through various hospitality venues, the brand remains accessible while catering to a sophisticated palate.
Adding to its dynamic leadership team, Wander + Ivy has recently welcomed Christine Jagher—a seasoned marketer from E & J Gallo Winery—as its new Chief Marketing Officer. With her extensive background, Jagher is poised to propel the brand to new heights as it prepares for another round of successful fundraising in the summer of 2024.
In an industry often critiqued for its resistance to change, Wander + Ivy stands out not only for its innovative business model but also for its commitment to social responsibility, donating 1% of annual sales to charities that support healthy food access and resources for mothers.
For those eager to learn more about Wander + Ivy’s products or find a nearby retailer, additional details can be found on the company’s website and social media platforms. As the company gears up for another bustling summer and wedding season, its new sparkling offerings are set to become the must-have beverage for those looking to indulge in a guilt-free sip of luxury.
