The Improved WinePod Personal Winery Teaches Winelovers How to be Great Winemakers
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) July 17, 2013 -- The WinePod Company announced today the availability of the WinePod. The WinePod is the world's first personal winery, first automated teaching winery and is the most advanced winemaking system in the world. The WinePod is now available for purchase at http://www.winepod.net for $4,500.
The original WinePod was launched commercially in 2007 to much critical acclaim. The WinePod has won numerous design awards and accolades. Today it continues to successfully turn wine lovers into competent winemakers resulting in commercial quality wines. Even today the WinePod remains the most advanced commercially available winemaking system and its unique WineCoach software teaches step-by-step winemaking in an easy to understand format.
Continued interest in the product drove the WinePods return.
According to Greg Snell, “during the Great Recession there has been continued interest in the WinePod, despite it being out of production. In addition, over the last several years, many WinePod owners report that the wines created from their WinePods greatly exceeded their quality expectations and are improving with age. This was the primary promise of the WinePod system and teaching method when released, but only very young wines were available as proof.”
Benson Hoagland and Bob Sheffres, WinePod owners since 2008 commented, “We'd always dreamed about making the quality wines we love to drink. So in 2008, we purchased the WinePod and made three batches of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. We can unequivocally state that the Cabernets we made in our WinePod are blockbusters. For the last several years, our wine has wowed our friends, families, and even an occasional restaurant sommelier.”
The intellectual property and some assets were reunited to enable the return.
The intellectual property from ProVina, Inc. has been reunited with key employees to enable the re-launch. The new WinePod has some key improvements and continues to offer the first and only teaching software called WineCoach. This software teaches modern winemaking techniques in a step-by-step format driven by the WinePod’s unique automatic Brix sensor.
The WinePod is available in China.
The new WinePod company is primarily targeting winelovers in North America and China. According to an IWSR study, from 2007 to 2011, the Chinese wine market soared by 142 percent while at the same time, China became the world’s sixth-largest wine producer. It is expected to become the fastest growing market for wine in 2016 -ahead of the U.S. and Russia. The WinePod company has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Tianjin Foreign Trade Co., Ltd, an import and export company with annual sales of $300 million USD per year. The WinePod company is looking to expand its distribution into other regions.
