Available now! New Chocolate-Raspberry WineTime Bar
As we kick off the New Year (and enter just our second year of being in business) we want to thank everyone who has so enthusiastically embraced the WineTime Bar. The positive response to our unique product and the amazing support and encouragement we have enjoyed has been overwhelming.
So many different classes of trade have taken WineTime Bars on board--national health food chains, grocery stores, wine stores, drugstores, hotel industry, internet, wellness centers and spas, and airports. WineTime Bars can now be found in all kinds of places all across the country. We have a staggering amount of interest from many directions--and we are also about to expand internationally.
We are celebrating the start of our second year with the launch of a new flavor. The sensational Chocolate-Raspberry WineTime Bar is in our warehouse and waiting to be shipped to you. Step right up and order now!
If you have been reading the last couple of newsletters you'll already know that the nutritional profile of the Chocolate-Raspberry bar is almost identical to our first award-winning, patent-pending bar. Calorie content (190) is the same. The bar has eight grams of fiber and only eight grams of fat. And, of course, it still contains more resveratrol than 50 glasses of red wine.
Pricing is also the same.
If you're a customer you can visit the website and order right now: www.winetimebar.com.
If you're a retailer please call 1.888.756.2184 and speak with Chris or Helena.
SEE YOU AT THE FANCY FOOD SHOWS
Our new flavor will get its first public airing at the huge Fancy Food Show in San Francisco, January 16-18.
If you plan on attending the show please drop by our booth to meet us and sample the new bar so you can discover for yourself that it tastes as good as--maybe even better than--our original Chocolate, Dates & Almonds bar. We are at Booth 204 in the Moscone Center's North Hall (the California section). If you'd prefer to arrange a time to meet, please call us at 858.756.2110.
THE RIGHT PRODUCT AT THE RIGHT TIME
When we developed the WineTime Bar we positioned it at the convergence of the natural health food/nutrition market and the gourmet/specialty food market. The combination of chocolate and the benefits of drinking red wine by infusing the bar with resveratrol was, we felt, a winning combination.
It seems like we do, indeed, have the right product at the right time if recent articles in leading trade publications are any indicator.
The magazine Natural Foods Merchandiser, looking into its crystal ball, included Resveratrol (and its cousin pterostilbene) in its "Hot Trends For 2011" report, writing, "The dynamic duo gains traction and sales." Also they say, "Gluten-free will continue to grow up."
Perhaps most heartening of all was their observation, "Gourmet will continue to learn from natural and natural will continue to learn from gourmet, resulting in more cross-merchandising and blending of the two."
Sales in the global chocolate market have risen 3% since 2008. The current market is worth $17 billion and is on target to exceed $19 billion by 2014, according to "The Chocolate Market in the U.S.: Trends and Opportunities in Premium, Gourmet and Mass Chocolate Products," a new report from Packaged Foods. Meanwhile, Functional Ingredients magazine named Resveratrol as one of its "Magnificent 7 Ingredient Picks for 2011."
Resveratrol and chocolate; natural and gourmet. Winning combinations!
