WITCHES BREW

In the spirit of Halloween, I wanted to highlight Witches Brew, a seasonal red wine with spices added. I first came across this wine at Trader Joes, but found that you can also buy it at Target. Witches Brew is described America’s favorite Halloween wine. This seasonal beverage is described as a wine that is layered with traditional mulling spices. It sounds like the wine is a mulled wine since the description also says you can enjoy the wine warm.




SUN SIPS - SODA WITH BENEFITS


Sun Sip is a functional soda.  Their soda contains prebiotics, vitamins and minerals. Their sodas contains, gut healthy prebiotics, vitamins C, B6, and B12, and the minerals zinc and selenium.  Sun Sips comes in flavors like lemon lime, raspberry lemonade cherry cola, strawberry vanilla, root beer and peach.


We like how they took a traditional soda and made it fancy by adding vitamins, minerals and prebiotics.  The soda also has 5 g of sugar which makes this soda a healthier soda. For the label design, it's clean, fun, playful and has a 1950's vibe to it.
