Following the successful launch of [yellow tail Sparkling White wine last fall, the brand today launched [yellow tail Sparkling Ros.
"As Sparkling Ros continues to rise in popularity, we saw an opportunity to give consumers a second YT sparkling wine that they can enjoy at any time," said Mark Lyle, VP of Marketing for
[yellow tail wines. "Our Sparkling Ros wine is a fun and colorful twist on sparkling wine, and offers consumers a reason to 'always sparkle."
The new [yellow tail Sparkling Ros taste profile mirrors the family of [yellow tail wines, which are known for being fruit-forward, easy-to-drink, approachable and fun. The Sparkling Ros
is a delightfully fresh, fruity and soft wine with aromas of fresh strawberries and spice, and hints of sweet cherries and tropical fruits.
The introduction of [yellow tail Sparkling Ros signals growing consumer interest in the category. According to AC Nielsen, sales of sparkling ros have risen in volume nearly 52 percent
within the past year.
To celebrate the launch of its new sparkling ros, [yellow tail is searching for "America's Most Sparkling City." A survey conducted by Greenfield Online identified the top 10 most
sparkling cities, which include Las Vegas, New Orleans and Martha's Vineyard. More than half of the survey respondents said that what makes a city sparkle is "breathtaking scenery" (61%)
and "great night life" (53%). Americans are encouraged to cast their votes for the winner through June 15 at www.yellowtailwineusa.com.
