Hampton Water Rosé Bar Cart Debuts
Hampton Water Rosé, the rosé wine brand founded by rock icon Jon Bon Jovi and his son Jesse Bongiovi, was showcased at the Water’s Edge in Westbrook for its Sunset Vibes Series on July 4. As guests enjoyed the Connecticut shore views, Vine Ventures brand ambassadors offered tastes from the brightly hued bar cart, which also made rounds at various retail and on-premise accounts throughout summer. Bon Jovi shared a vision to disrupt the wine category and, along with Ali Thomas, created the full concept of the brand, with talents from famed French winemaker Gérard Bertrand.
