State Store: VineSmoothies

Editor's Note: Okay, so full disclosure, we came across this abomination in Jersey but don't worry, according to the Fine Wine & Good Spirits site these are available in store and SLO. Phew.

On a recent stock up trip we stumbled upon these colorful VineSmoothies tucked between bottles of Strawberry Twist Arbor Mist and gallon jugs of Carlo Rossi sangria. After a wave of nausea passed we decided that dropping $9.99 on a bottle of something that bills itself as blend of French chardonnay and Holland's Famous Dutch Cream wasn't going to happen.

But our interest was certainly piqued. A trip over to the VineSmoothie site turned up this copy gem:

"Imagine lounging by the poolside sipping a fruity VINESMOOTHIE while ocean breezes lightly sweep across your skin. A sailboat skims past. A seabird swoops down to the beach. You take another sip of that refreshing, tangy, creamy VINESMOOTHIE and say, “This is the life.”

Pretty good, right?

Other important information about this totally terrifying line of beverages: VineSmoothie is available in peach, berry, pineapple coconut and strawberry flavors, it's gluten-free and it can be left open and unrefrigerated for up to six months. Oh and of course it's made by the good folks who brought you another State Store favorite, ChocoVine.
