Paddington Brands Launches 90+ Rated Agoston Spanish Red Wines Nationally Through Walgreens
Paddington brings Agoston Spanish red wines to over 4,000 Walgreens stores.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN, July 12, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Paddington Brands announced today that it has launched its Agoston wine brand through Walgreens, the nation's largest drugstore chain. Bodegas Virgen del Aguila, the Spanish wine cooperative, confirmed Paddington Brands as the exclusive U.S. importer of Agoston wines.

"When we first tasted Agoston, we knew this was a wine that would appeal to American consumers," said J. Smoke Wallin, chairman and CEO of Paddington Brands. "Year after year Agoston has been receiving 90+ points in the Penin Wine Rating Guide, which is Spain's equivalent to Robert Parker ratings. We have worked with Walgreens in order to bring this savory wine to the United States at an affordable price."

In April Paddington launched both a syrah garnacha and a tempranillo cabernet blend in more than 4,000 Walgreens stores. The wines, priced at $5.99 a bottle in most states, have become one of the drugstore chain's top selling imported wine brands.

"Agoston is a great addition to Walgreens wine selection as our first Spanish wine," said Dex McCreary, Walgreens divisional merchandise manager. "We look forward to working with Paddington Brands to promote this brand and make this quality import a success."

"We were immediately impressed with the knowledge, drive and 'can do' approach of the entire Paddington team," said Jose Maria Andres, CEO of Bodegas Virgen del Aguila co-operative. "We are proud to work with Paddington to launch this wine with such an important retailer like Walgreens, a company that will advance the development of the Agoston brand."
