Default Is The Developer branching out?
When I stopped at the Southern Trace Kindred Spirits store today [05/02], the guys were busily setting up a display of new products:

Brownwood Bourbon

The Villages Vodka

Both products were clearly labeled with TV images, so they're unmistakably TV oriented! Whether they're actually associated with The Developer, I don't know, but I am intrigued!

Were they selling any Schwartz Schnapps or Scotch or Morse Martini, Manhattan or Margarita Mix?

NO but I did see a life size statue of Schwartz inside the store by the TV Vodka. I was intrigued also.

A liquor distributor who serves the area claims TV buys "in bulk" for the squares, liquor stores and many restaurants. As such he says TV is the second largest customer for wine and spirits in Florida. (behind only Disney). So, obviously they can put anything they'd like on the bottles.

Private branding is very common in retail and especially wine, beer, most types of booze.
TV owns all the Kindred Spirits stores as well as the concession booths on the squares so yes they do buy "in bulk".

Wouldn't it be nice if they had a quality wine for sale with a TV label? Would make a great gift for house warming parties and for your friends in the tundra.
