Kono Baru Wine, Upside Down Is Right Side Up

Filed under: Wine

Don Sebastiani & Sons, the folks behind Used Automobile Parts wine are at it again. This time with wine with upside-down labels. Kono Barú. The upside-down labels represent the fact that the wines are sourced from vineyards in the Southern hemisphere. The initial launch is of six varietals from three countries. A Sauvignon Blanc, unwwoded Chardonnay and a Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile; a Riesling and a Shiraz from Australia; and a Malbec from Argentina. The Chilean and Australian wines are around $12 and the Malbec is around $16. The line is meant to represent a step up from the bargain-priced wines from Chile and Australia with something a little bit more upscale. The initial launch is around 100,000 cases.

Used Automobile Parts Wine

Fine wines usually feature exotic names, chateau this and domaine that. But in the tradition of less evocative names like Screaming Eagle, Don Sebastiani & Sons have announced a new luxury label with the quirky name of Used Automobile Parts. The Bordeaux-style wine, a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec sourced solely from Napa Valley vineyards will cost $50 per bottle and also comes in three packs for $150. The three packs will feature three different closures: screw cap, Zork, or the new German Vino-Seal. The bottles have lettering in 22K gold screen printed and fired onto each bottle.
