TROY, Ala. – Troy Athletics and Mano's Wine have teamed up to create a commemorative wine bottle celebrating Troy Football's back-to-back Sun Belt Conference championships.
Sourced from the best wines from the finest vineyards around the world, Mano's Wine now has three exclusively designed Troy bottles for purchase. In addition to the new SBC Championship bottle, there is a bottle that features the Power T logo and Trojans wordmark, while the other is fully customizable with graduation year and name to accompany the Troy University seal. Fans can visit TroyTrojans.com/TroyWine to purchase their bottles.
"As the first officially licensed collegiate wine in the State of Alabama, we are proud to further expand our offerings with our partners through Mano's Wines," Director of Athletics Brent Jones said. "Championships last a lifetime, and we are thrilled to offer a new etched wine bottle featuring our back-to-back Sun Belt Championships logo to commemorate our 2023 football championship. This is one more way in which our fans can celebrate this wonderful accomplishment with officially licensed merchandise, and we look forward to creating more championship bottles in the future."
All of the bottles from the urban winery are full-bodied California Cabernet Sauvignon. Located in Kansas City, Missouri, Mano's Wine blends, ages, finishes and bottles the wines that are shipped from around the world to create the perfect selection for each palate. This wine-making method allows Mano's to take advantage of the regions with the best climate and growing conditions for that specific year, ensuring their ability to create the highest quality wines.
The state of Alabama passed legislation in 2022 permitting the shipping of wine from retailers to a person's home. This legislation paved the way for Troy and Mano's Wine to form a partnership in August 2022 and allow Trojan fans to showcase their support for the school they love in a new way.
Mano's is the industry leader in manufacturing and distribution of deep etched and hand-painted wine for a variety of entities, including Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Lakers, Pittsburgh Penguins, several state and private universities along with a number of Fortune 500 companies.
