in many other parts of the world, including
much of Europe. “A lot of the wineries, the
best wine you can get, you fill a growler at the
winery,” said Nate O’Shea when comparing
Europe to America. “When people think keg,
you think beer, and I think it’s changing. I
think it will catch on.”
Nate O’Shea says Great Frogs intends to
incorporate more and more kegging into its
business plan.
“For us, that’s where we’re moving,” he
said. “We’ll always have our special wines
that you can age for twenty years, but the kegged wine, just from an environmental
stand and then from really trying to attract a younger group of people, which
Maryland really has a lot of, that’s kind of our goal.”
He says he thinks other wineries will catch on to the trend as well.
“A special bottle of wine, I think, will always have a place,” he said. “Really what
you want when you get a bottle of wine is you want what’s inside of it, and with the
keg, you get it really fast, and I think people are appreciating it.” MWP
