We kicked off our 2016 Readers’ Choice poll with a plethora of great new products from which to choose. But there can only be one winner, and the readers of Beverage Industry named Griffon Vault Vodka the Readers’ Choice New Product of the Month poll winner for January.
The bag-in-box vodka garnered nearly a quarter (24 percent) of the votes to emerge as the winner. Griffon Vault Vodka is 40 percent alcohol by volume, distilled five times and filtered straight from a box.
Other new beverages that resonated with readers are Purity.Organic’s Super Premium Tea line (19 percent) and Sonoma Cider’s The Washboard (10 percent).
Cedar Ridge Single Malt Whiskey came in at No. 4 with 8 percent of the vote and there was a three-way tie for fifth among Yellowstone Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon, pūrjus and Boots Beverages’ Lucky Ginger Brew, each garnering6 percent of the votes.
With this year being a Leap Year, we’ll have an extra new product in our February poll, so be sure to vote when the poll launches March 7. The poll will close at 4 p.m. EDT on March 18, so don’t forget to cast your vote!
