The Vini – Exceptional Wine by the Glass, a new patented, single-serve fine wine format, has been launched by Miami entrepreneur and boutique winery owner Sunny Fraser.

The Vini is not only a trademarked brand of exclusive wines, but also a sleek, patented, 187ml glass tube complete with industry standard Stelvin screw cap.

It is ideal for people preferring to consume daily one glass of wine a time.

The Vini is currently offered in blends of California Napa wine based on Zinfandel, and a California Sonoma wine based on Chardonnay.

It is housed in a packaging that offers both beautiful display and ergonomic-inspired design.

The Vini chief visionary officer David Gordon said the Vini is fine wine and should be treated as such.

"It is supposed to be poured into a wine glass like all fines wines," Gordon added.

"It’s not a gimmick, so we don’t recommend drinking it straight from the bottle like those ready-to-drink, supermarket and convenience store style options out there."

The company also aims to make other high-end wineries bottle their wines in The Vini format in 2013.

The Vini is currently available for sale online at http://www.thevini.com and at fine retail and marketplace locations in South Florida including, Perricone’s Marketplace, Vintage Liquor Midtown, Laurenzo’s Specialty Market, Joe’s Stone Crab Take Away, Joanna’s Marketplace, Anacapri Italian Market and hotels including The St Regis Bal Harbour, Eden Roc Renaissance, PGA National Resort & Spa, South Beach Marriott and more.
