Twitter Will Sell No Wine Before Its Time — It's Finally Time
In a post today on their blog, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone notes that this weekend the wine will be available. People who pre-ordered should get their shipments shortly. Meanwhile, there are still bottles and cases to be bought here.
The wine, which is called Fledgling wine, is available in two varieties: a white (chardonnay) and a red (pinot noir). Each 750ml bott is $25, or you can buy a whole case (12 bottles) for $300. Both are 2009 vintage that Stone says “are being made using some of the best vineyards in California by the acclaimed winemaking team at Crushpad.” “Incidentally, 2009 appears to be an excellent vintage in California, potentially one of the best of the decade,” he continues.
Specifically, these bottles being sold will help promote literacy in Uttarakhand, India.
Twitter will also apparently have a Fledgling wine launch event tomorrow.
Meanwhile, I asked Twitter if we can expect to see the wine in stores anytime soon. “Just the web site for now. But we’d love to see it in stores and other places!,” a representative told me.
