Merlot To Go? Stacked Wines Launches in OC

Stacked Wines
Wine bottles in a controlled environment? Functional and classy.

Wine bottles anywhere else? Clunky, heavy and kind of a hazard.

Three former UC Irvine MBA students--Matt Zimmer, Jodi Wynn and Doug Allan--have come up with a pretty neat solution: stackable plastic wine glasses, perfect for lugging to picnics and outdoor concerts. No bottles, no stemware, no corkscrews (which are always forgotten at home, anyway). 

They've turned their idea into Newport Beach-based Stacked Wines. Each sleek package, which retails for about $15, comes with four foil-sealed glasses of wine, together equaling one wine bottle. For now, there are two varieties: chardonnay and merlot.

Stacked Wines are sold in markets across Orange County, including Bruery Provisions in Orange.

The team will be giving in-store demos starting this weekend:

Friday, 3/16, 4pm-7pm:
Albertsons, 27702 Crown Valley Pkwy, Ladera Ranch, CA 92694

Saturday, 3/17, 1pm-4pm:
Albertsons, 4550 E. Chapman Ave., Orange, CA 92869

Sunday, 3/18, 2pm-5pm:
Albertsons, 14201 Jeffrey Rd., Irvine, CA 92620

Monday, 3/19, 4pm-7pm:
Albertsons, 24251 Muirlands Blvd., Lake Forest, CA 92630

I live in MA and saw the stack n go merlot and chardonnay and would like to purchase in my area.  Are there any liquor stores in MA.  If not can I directly purchase on the internet?
