Kingsland Drinks' has found the first listing of its new carbonated wines, having launched a carbonated version of the Shorn range to make the most of the rising demand for sparkling wine.

New Zealand's Shorn Pinot Grigio is already one of the core brands within the Kingsland Drinks portfolio and Shorn Fizz has recently won its first listing with Oddbins nationwide.

Shorn has recently become the first brand to use Kingsland's recently launched carbonation line.

Kingsland said the decision to invest in the line was a direct response to the rising demand for sparkling wine in the UK.

Ana Sapungui, Oddbins buyer said: "We feel confident in the listing of Shorn Fizz, as consumer spend on non-Prosecco sparkling wines is set to rise this year.

"We know that Kingsland Drinks prides itself on innovation in the category - and the carbonation line is a clear proof point of that. We are delighted to work with such a forward thinking partner and to be able to offer our customers great new tasting new products."

Kingsland Drinks unveiled its new carbonation line in April, which was a first for a bottler in the UK.

The equipment allows winemakers to produce sparkling and infused wine drinks and can fill between 12,600 and 15,000 bottles per hour.

Kingsland also working on carbonating another of its brands, Live White Zinfandel, aimed at female drinkers in their twenties.

Neil Anderson, marketing director of Kingsland Drinks added: "At Kingsland we are constantly building insight and developing our capability as a business. The listing of Shorn Fizz in Oddbins, represents our total commitment to being a full service provider within the wine trade - our own sourced, carbonated, bottled and branded wine."

Kingsland Drinks is a premier independent UK supplier of wine and spirits, specialising in providing complete category solutions.

Shorn Fizz will retail at Oddbins nationwide at £8.75 RRP.
