Drinking wine is a guilty pleasure for some people and now, cats can already share the same feeling too. Apollo Peak Ltd. made a wine specially formulated for felines. You will never drink alone again because you and your pet cat can enjoy the day by drinking some wine anytime.
The Apollo Peak company in Colorado is a developer of fine snack beverages for cats and dogs. According to the company's CEO, Brandon Zavala, who developed the wine said that his idea started as a joke.
In an email forwarded to People, Zavala said, "I've usually been known to my close friends as the Cat Guy," he added, "I slapped a Pinot Meow label on several real bottles of wine and took to an annual trip as gifts. After hearing how great the idea was, I thought to myself, 'why isn't there a wine for cats?!' The rest is history."
The cat wine is made of all-organic ingredients which are fresh beets, catnip and organic preservatives. The cat wine is a non-alcoholic drink and since it is all natural, it comes with health benefits as reported by Fox59. This product started in November last year but their sales was not that big in the first few months. Zavala thanked the media in spreading their product because he sacrificed his social life and poured so much time in developing the Pinot Meow.
According to Zavala, their initial tests worked great because those lucky cats that tasted it first can't get over it. The cats seem to go crazy over the Pinot Meow as they stayed next to the product like humans enjoying their drink.
He knew that someday, the Pinot Meow will be a household brand in the future. After their product was presented in several media coverage, their sales have grown big and their 6 months sales has already tripled. The Pinot Meow and the Moscato wine for cats are sold at a starting price of $4.95 per 1.6 oz. bottle.
If you purchase the larger sizes, you can save some dollars because the 8 oz. bottles of Pinot Meow and Moscato only cost $11.95 each. You can purchase it online by visiting their Apollo Peak official website.
