Works For Beer and Whiskey – Why Not Wine
Works For Beer and Whiskey - Why Not Wine
Having grown up in the deep south I know from first hand experience that rednecks have for years drank everything under the sun out of Mason Jars. Now they can do it with a little more style. Parija Kavilanz over at CNN has done a piece on just how popular these are with the redneck crowd and how sales have really taken off.
“America’s love affair with the irreverent, tacky and politically incorrect is making millions for at least one business.
Carson Home Accents, a 41-year-old, family-owned company based in Freeport, Pa., struck gold recently when it started manufacturing and selling RedNek Wine Glasses.
The company, a wholesaler of gift and home decor items, started making the wine glass — simply a Ball Mason jar glued on top of a Libbey candlestick holder — 10 months ago, and in less than a year, the product has had $5 million in sales.
“The RedNek Wine Glass has quickly become a phenomenon,” said John Hill, vice president of Carson Home Accents.
In the beginning… It was only by chance that the idea of the product came to the attention of the company in January.
“One of our salespeople saw this item on a shelf at a Hallmark store,” said Hill, adding that Carson Home Accents subsequently met the original inventor of the product and signed a licensing deal with her that allowed the company to manufacture and sell RedNek Wine Glasses.”
These Mason Jar Wine Glasses are the perfect Christmas gift for any redneck and one they will truly love and more importantly… that they will use. They have been using them for years and now they can step up in style.
