"Green" Wine For Summer: Premium, Single Serve Bandit Wines in Portable, Eco-Friendly Packaging

St. Helena, CA (PRWEB) April 2, 2008 -- Three Thieves' single serve Bandits offer active wine lovers and green-minded consumers premium wine in convenient, eco-friendly packaging for all outdoor summer activities. Small, light, easy to open, and recycle, the Bandit 250 ml single serves can be packed in knapsacks or picnic baskets, bringing convenient access to high-quality California varietals poolside, at the beach, when camping, boating or fishing, and at sporting events.

"Mini Bandits shift the wine paradigm in just about every way," declares Chief Thief Charles Bieler. "No bottle. No opener. Less waste. Less energy use. It's packaging for a green planet."

Aseptic packaging like this is far more efficient and lightweight to transport than bottles, reducing carbon dioxide emissions and saving fuel. The Bandit packaging is made of Tetra Prisma?, which is comprised of 70% paper, a renewable resource, thus reducing the packaging waste associated with bottled wine by 90%. In fact, it would take 26 trucks filled with empty wine bottles to equal just 1 truck filled with empty Tetra Pak cartons.

Equally as dedicated to providing consumers with quality wine at a great value, the Three Thieves are offering the Mini Bandits nationally for $9.99/4-pack in three award-winning varietals--Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio. "The Three Thieves are all winemakers, so our focus on what's in the box is just as intense as the box itself," says Bieler.

Three Thieves (www.threethieves.com), developed by Charles Bieler, Joel Gott and Roger Scommegna, is the leading brand of Rebel Wine Company, a St. Helena, California based joint venture between Three Thieves and Trinchero Family Estates. Known as much for their innovative packaging as for the wine that is in it, the Three Thieves have distinguished themselves through their originality and vision. Collaborating with Trinchero Family Estates, Napa Valley vintners since 1947, the Thieves have solidified their commitment to quality at a reasonable price, an adage that binds the companies.

Tetra Pak (www.tetrapakusa.com) is the world leader in food processing and packaging systems. Best known for its aseptic technology innovations, Tetra Pak works for and with its customers to provide preferred processing and packaging solutions for food and is committed to making food safe and available, everywhere.
