Bliss in a Bottle will open a kiosk this fall at Westfield Montgomery Mall. The gift retailer specializes in chocolate-covered wine bottles. It's more sophisticated than it sounds - the specific chocolate coating is specially chosen to pair with the wine inside the bottle, a variety of chocolates are used, and mix-ins found in the chocolate can be a sophisticated as hibiscus berry powder and rose sugar. The Ohio-based Bliss in a Bottle already has an area location in Tysons Corner Center.

So how are you supposed to eat the chocolate that is on the bottle?
ReplyDeleteIt's rather simple, it seems. There's a quick video on their site.
ReplyDeleteTake the cellophane wrapping off, pull a tab and the chocolate falls off, pour the wine, grab a piece of chocolate and there you go.
I'm going to design a Hostess Twinkie-covered bottle of MD 20/20 just for Robbie!
ReplyDeleteDyer, do they make a pumpkin spice latte bottle?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a disgusting looking gimmick to me. More like “Ick on a Bottle”. Nothing quite like a blissful bottle of six buck chuck dipped in Hersey’s.
ReplyDelete6:20AM - Another crotchety old man. No problem, they're not marketing to your type.
ReplyDelete6:33 AM - Another millennia who craves bottle service at a nightclub, but of course, now with the bottle covered in fudge.
ReplyDeleteA novelty that will certainly only hang around until January first.
ReplyDeleteCandy covered wine bottles. What an incredibly stupid idea. A rip in the plastic and you have bits of cheap chocolate all over the place. The candy melts and you have a stinking mess.
ReplyDeleteRobert you should drink a bottle on your YouTube channel and let us know how it is
If you actually would drink Cupcake or KJ then this is targeting the correct demographic....
ReplyDeleteI don't see how this will work from an alcoholic beverages licensing standpoint. I am curious to see if they buy the wine from the county then dip it in the chocolate or if they buy the wine with the chocolate already on it. My hunch is that the regulators won't like the concept but it seems to be a fairly well established business.
