Santa Rosa, CA (PRWEB) July 19, 2011

Better Barrel Wine Company announced today the release and availability of the Better Barrel, an innovative, new wine dispense system designed to protect wine quality while speeding the adoption and growth of environmentally-friendly wine-on-tap programs.

Unlike existing traditional poured-from-bottle and keg-based wine-by-the-glass solutions, the patent-pending Better Barrel system eliminates all peripheral equipment needed for wine by the glass service and drastically reduces the costs and resources associated with the transportation, proper storage and management of gas cylinders, kegs, tap equipment, refrigerators and glass bottles glass bottles are currently the largest source of carbon emissions from the wine industry.

Ease of Implementation

Leveraging a combination of traditional aesthetics with state-of-the art wine packaging technology, the Better Barrel system is traditionally made from fire-bent White Oak and is hand assembled. It does not use returnable kegs and therefore, does not require a costly and complex supply chain unsupported by traditional wine distributors. A compact, self-contained system which includes on-board electronic temperature control, the Better Barrel does not require custom installation or refrigeration equipment. In addition, it does not require the gas or the bacteria-harboring dispense tubing and tap equipment required for all kinds of wine dispense systems and does not displace the revenue of existing beer tap lines.

Designed to require minimal shelf-space, the Better Barrel can be installed nearly flush with a rear wall on a shelf or counter and operates on low-voltage from a standard wall socket. It does not require any facilitization and is completely plug and play.

First 100 Units to be Released in October 2011 to California Market

Better Barrel will be releasing the first 100 individually hand-assembled and sequentially serial numbered dispense systems and related custom-labeled wine to on-premise operators in October 2011.

Party City Has the Ultimate Memorial Day Checklist to Make Any Summer Party a Splash

Rockaway, NJ (PRWEB) May 02, 2012

Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, and with gas prices rising towards $ 5 per gallon, families can avoid the high cost of travel this summer and instead throw "backyard getaways," or budget-friendly summer parties right at home. Party City's Celebration Experts have provided a checklist outlining all the summer party essentials needed to take advantage of warmer weather and entertain outdoors. Whether hosting the ultimate backyard bash, a large block party or casually sipping cocktails on the patio with friends, Party City's summer checklist identifies the party essentials necessary for any occasion this season.

SUMMER STAPLES CHECKLIST

Bright Delights - Stock up on vibrant colored serveware and tableware in pink, green and blue hues to perfectly compliment any summer party scene. Brightly colored drink dispensers are a must-have for summer entertaining and perfectly compliment classic summer drinks like chilled lemonade or frozen margaritas. Trade in the traditional beer cooler for colorful plastic party tubs and ice buckets to add a touch of color to any summer party. Ice cream is a staple at any summer party, so serve everyone's favorite frozen treats in bright serveware. To create beautiful place settings all summer long, pair bright colors and eye-popping patterns with neutral accents, like woven bamboo chargers.

Ultimate BBQ Party Kit - Warm summer nights are the perfect occasion to fire up the grill, and grill masters will find Party City's American Summer BBQ Party Kit ideal for showcasing their outdoor culinary skills. The BBQ Party Kit provides everything needed in one convenient package, including serveware, table cover, patriotic invitations, American flag banner, centerpieces, balloons, and streamers. Summer entertaining is all about simple party planning, so for any BBQ party, plan a simple menu with a few cookout classics like hamburgers, hotdogs, corn on the cob and potato salad.

Red, White and Blue Jamboree - Celebrate American pride this summer during the long Memorial Day and Fourth of July weekends with festive patriotic parties. Stars-and-stripes and patriotic-themed decorations and party supplies come in handy throughout the summer months, and red, white and blue hanging fans and metallic garland strategically hung from the ceiling bring the magic of Memorial Day inside by recreating a fireworks scene. Add a fun twist to any patriotic gathering by quenching guests' thirsts with one or two novelty drinks, such as "American Dream" cocktails, a cranberry blend garnished with tropical blue pop rocks around the rim and adorned with a patriotic parasol.

Lasting Memories - Summer is the perfect occasion to spend quality time with family and friends and create lasting memories. Staging a photo booth area during every party is a fun way to make everyone a star and create picture perfect moments. Provide an abundance of star-spangled props, such as flags, hats, pinwheels, bubbles and party leis, to keep everyone smiling. These photos make great party favors for guests, or you can send their photos out later in thank you notes.

Cool Pool Party - Lazy summer days spent by the pool are the perfect way to celebrate summer, and a day in the sun wouldn't be complete without pool-friendly activities and water toys, such as paddle balls, inflatable beach balls, and relay sticks. Keep it cool with frozen treats, like sundaes, popsicles or snow cones, incorporating the colors of summer with banana split dishes in orange, green, pink and blue. Freeze fruit juices in handy ice-lolly makers the night before, or for instant frozen fun, try the electric ice shaver with flavored syrups for delicious snow cones by the pool. Make any pool party a tropical paradise with cheerful floral motifs and classic luau accents, such as tiki torches, grass skirts and colorful hibiscus garlands.
