Access Beverage/Sports Pouch Joint Venture Targets Single-Serve Premium Wine Market
March 05 2009 - 6:30AM
Business Wire
Access Beverage, Inc. (Pink Sheets:ABVI), along with its joint
venture partner, Sports Pouch Beverage Co. (Pink Sheets:SPBV),
announced today that their first product launch, featuring Sports
Pouch's patent-pending, eco-friendly pouch technology with a tamper
proof push-pull spout, will focus on the single-serve premium wine
market. The new line is expected to be distributed through major
retail, specialty, and club stores nationwide, as well as airports,
airplanes, trains, and cruise ships. The exclusive distribution of
developed beverage lines to concert and sporting venues is also
planned.
�Changing consumer lifestyles are pushing retailers to carry
more single-serve alcoholic beverages without sacrificing top-shelf
quality or brand names,� said Access Beverage president, Ms. Diane
Svehlak. �Replacing glass packaging with flexible, portable pouches
helps retailers and wholesalers reduce their transportation costs
and promote environmentally-friendly packaging. Our premium
single-serve wine product using the Sports Pouch technology
overcomes a long-standing hurdle affecting multiple industries
where on- and off-premise consumption of alcohol in glass
containers is prohibited. We expect this product line alone can
contribute up to $2.5 million in US sales within our first year of
production.�
Sports Pouch CEO, Mr. Gil Arvizu, added, �As both our companies
have considerable retail and institutional access, I expect our
branded line of single-serve wines will achieve significant
distribution and sales. Our packaging technology is proprietary and
exclusive to Access Beverage in the single-serve wine and spirits
category. This is a major opportunity for us to create
first-mover-advantage and gain substantial market penetration in
this fast growing category.�
Future products planned through the partnership include:
ready-to-drink single serve cocktails, multi-serve ready-to-drink
pouch packages, juice and juice blends, health drinks, and water
products.
