Getting into the Halloween spirit… 

Don’t let your wines & Champagnes lurk in the shadows this Halloween! We know the usual fear associated with opening a bottle to serve by the glass, let alone adding wine or Champagne to a cocktail, only to pour it down the drain on account of it going off! You’re thinking, yeah, wine cocktails are great, but they only require small quantities of wine, so why bother? What if we told you there was an easy, reliable, and profitable solution to ease and eliminate those worries?
