You Have One Tenth of a Second to Impress... GO!

Wine Presentation in Boxes, Bags & Totes

Presentation is very important. Research from Princeton University and Kent State University show that people make judgements on attractiveness and likability in one tenth of one second. One tenth of a second doesn’t give us much room to hesitate. Make sure your wine bottles first impression is a good one. Choose the WineChest™ wooden wine boxes, Heavy duty Kraft cardboard wine carriers, colorful Wine Totes bags, Gift boxes, Jute tote bags, Suave™ leatherette tote bags, and Vino Sack™ muti-bottle totes, to mention a few of the many wine bottle carriers at Franmara, Inc. www.franmara.com.

Why The Martini Glass Shape?

The martini came about in the eighteen fifties and got its name from either the Occidental Hotel in San Francisco, or was named after the vermouth company, Martini. The conical glass was already used for other drinks until the Martini was invented. That conical bowl was designed to expose more drink to the air, thus offering up the drinks aroma and so the olives or other garnishes would stand up in the drink. The long stem was made so warm hands would not warm up the drink. Franmara offers six different versions of this cocktail glass style. www.franmara.com.

The Origins of Octoberfest, Prost!

Octoberfest originally started in Munich (München, pronounced Moon-Chin) on October 12, 1810. It was to celebrate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig with Princess Teresa von Sachsen-Hildburghausen of Saxony. For the next year's anniversary, an agriculture fair was included. As the years continued more events were added: horse races, music, carnival rides, and oh yeah, beer halls and "Bier Trinken". Years later the fest was moved to start in September for better weather. More than one million gallons of beer are sold during Octoberfest. Cheers.
