Coffee Wine

coffee wine cans

Friends Beverage Group (aka/The Fun Wine Company) of Miami, FL, has launched the World’s First Coffee Wines ™ — Cabernet Espresso ™ and Chardonnay Cappuccino ™ — in New York under the FRIENDS FUN WINE ® brand. Imported from the EU, FUN WINE ™ is a friendly tasting recreational drink that makes wine fun for the general population with refreshing flavors. The New Lifestyle Drink ™ comes with half the alcohol of wine and has no preservatives, gluten or caffeine. It is very affordable, so everyone can enjoy it. Joe Peleg, CEO, explained, “We believe in ‘Responsible Fun’ and ask consumers to ‘Reduce the alcohol…and Increase the Fun!” Lower alcohol translates to lower calories as well.

COFFEE WINE ™ is an everyday beverage for:

  • Women
  • Millennials, age 21-35
  • New, occasional and casual wine drinkers
  • Consumers who seek alternatives to wine and beer
  • Consumers who prefer lower alcohol

Benefits include:

  • Multiple flavors – Coffee, Strawberry/Peach Moscato, Red/White Sangria
  • Affordability-$1.99 -$2.29/can (~ $1.00/serving)
  • Lower alcohol than wine
  • Lower calories than wine or beer (75-94 calories/serving)

  • 33% more wine than 187.5 ml wine bottles

WHAT DIFFERENTIATES FUN WINE ™ FROM TRADITIONAL WINE?

FUN WINE™ is a new beverage category of recreational wine drinks for the general population. It is defined not by vintage, heritage or other highbrow hallmarks of wine, and is not for wine aficionados.

You do not sniff it. You do not swirl it in a glass. You do not tout its origin. You do not pour it into red or white wine glasses. FUN WINE ™ does not compete with wine, but is an everyday fun and affordable recreational drink for the masses – and The Alternative to Beer. ™

Check out this video about Breakfast in Bed!

Carnem

Steaks_27-1920

“A MODERN AMERICAN RESTAURANT AND COCKTAIL BAR SERVING THE FINEST U.S.D.A. PRIME CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF IN A NEIGHBORHOOD SETTING.”

In Latin, ‘Carnem’ means meat, something that David DiSalvo knows a lot about. Chef DiSalvo is a French Culinary Institute graduate who earned his cooking chops while working for Kurt Gutebrunner and Aldo Sohm at Blaue Gans in TriBeCa; and pastry under Pierre Reboul made for the Michelin-starred Wallse in the West Village. DiSalvo solidified his steak skills as Chef de Cuisine of West Steak and Seafood in San Diego where he earned a #1 overall Zagat rating for Seafood and Steak.

Chef DiSalvo’s menu at Carnem consists of U.S.D.A. Prime Certified Angus Beef sourced from Master Purveyors in the Bronx, who hand-pick and dry-age the meat for 21 days. Among the signature cuts are a 7 oz. and 16 oz. New York Strip; a 32 oz. Bone-in Cowboy Ribeye—a hearty feast for 2 or 3 people; and a U.S.D.A. Prime Black Angus Petite Tender Medallion Steak.

“The philosophy behind the menu at Carnem Prime Steakhouse is to deliver chophouse cuts that are simply prepared and minimally-manipulated to show off the high quality product that we work closely with our purveyors to source. While we stick to the traditional cooking methods for the steak, we get playful and expressive with the appetizers and entrees, giving the menu our own creative stamp.”
