Handcrafted bottles of Philadelphia Eagles Championship Red wine are now available in select Fine Wine & Good Spirits state stores, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, which operates the stores, announced. Retail: $49.99.
Each 750mL bottle is deep-etched and hand-painted by artisans, a labor-intensive process that requires skilled craftsmanship. The bottles commemorate the Eagles’ Feb. 4, 2018, 41-33 World Championship victory over the New England Patriots.
Inside each limited-edition bottle, the handcrafted Reserve is a blend of Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon and Monterey Merlot. Aged for 15 months in a combination of French and American Oak, this Bordeaux-style blend shows soft tannins, ripe cassis, chocolate, and berry flavors, PLCB said, adding these flavors create a medium-bodied, dry red with a smooth finish.
