One day, Jennifer Sullivan, who is a mother of twins, was enjoying her moment watching a rerun of Cougar Town, her favorite sitcom. This happened to be the episode that Cox was joking about spilled wine and how boring this gets every time when the spillage occurs. But from under the counter, Cox pulls out a guzzle buddy and screws it into the bottle. The results are amazing.
Its then that Jennifer was convinced that an item that is similar to this should in deed be available. The same love for wine was shared by Randy Rothfus, her brother in law, who is also an author and a retired dentist. She called him and he got excited about the prospects of such as item existing. He joined the bandwagon and took part in the search for this specific item. To their amazement, they discovered that no such item existed anywhere and they decided that they were going to make it themselves.
Randy and Jennifer started a website and arranged to manufacture 16 oz Guzzle Buddy Wine Bottle Glass which is made from a high quality borosilicate. This product has a sleeve that is 100% silicone and which can screw into most of the available bottles to make an excellent seal. They commenced selling the Guzzle Buddy via the Amazon and also on their website.
They starter posting videos and pictures of this product on Facebook and through YouTube and it took just a short time for this awesome product to go viral. In October 2016, they got to feature live in the Cosmopolitan and also on Delish. It got several other media mentions and updates and this information was picked up in all the major television shows and newspapers. The respectable United Airlines also included this awesome product as one of its gift guides for 2016. Before long, Sullivan and Ruftus had shipped orders to almost everywhere in the world.
The popularity of Guzzle Buddy rose tremendously and features on the well viewed Ellen DeGeneres show. It was also promoted at the Inc.com and also at the Atlanta Gift Mart in December 2017.
But one of the biggest questions that people ask is-why don’t people just drink their wine from its bottle? Well research findings have found out that the smell matters most when we taste something. When you drink straight from the bottle, you will never appreciate the smell that the drink comes with. However, when you use Guzzle Buddy, the carbonated bubbles will burst and this helps release those amazing aromas which you inhale.
Fortunately, Guzzle Buddy is not only in wine bottles, but also in wine and cider bottles. In 2017, a Beer Glass was added as well as the Guzzle Buddy 2 GO which is made from Tritan, a superior quality material that is free from BPA. This item will indeed be an amazing option for people who want something awesome for tailgating, picnics and camping among others.
