St. Julian Winery & Distillery, Michigan’s oldest and largest winery, announces the expansion of its best-selling Sweet Revenge line with a new 1.5L bottle. This award-winning sweet red wine opens with the vibrant aroma of fresh grapes, reminiscent of classic grape juice. Bold notes of cherries and berries follow, balanced by smooth, integrated acidity. Rich and expressive, Sweet Revenge pairs exceptionally well with beef, pizza, or chocolate.
“Our decision to introduce a 1.5L bottle for Sweet Revenge directly reflects strong customer demand,” says Apollo Braganini II, President of St. Julian Winery & Distillery. “This expansion celebrates the continued success of one of our signature wines while offering more ways to enjoy and share it. We are excited to make this larger format available exclusively through our retail partners.”
The expanded Sweet Revenge line follows the recent installation of a state-of-the-art bottling line at St. Julian’s headquarters in Paw Paw, Mich. Importantly, this upgrade marks a significant step forward in innovation and production. The new equipment improves precision, boosts efficiency, and supports sustainability initiatives. In turn, St. Julian can further elevate both product quality and packaging.
This modern bottling system also increases overall production capacity. It enables a broader range of bottle sizes and shapes, along with caged corks for select sparkling wines and Champagne offerings.
“With this new technology, we are redefining how we bottle and deliver our products,” says Matt White, Vice President of Operations. “It positions us to create more innovative wines and spirits while looking toward the future.”
In addition to Sweet Revenge, the collection includes Envy, an award-winning sweet white wine, and Desire, a bright and approachable sweet rosé. Consistent with St. Julian’s broader portfolio, all three wines are crafted from Michigan-grown grapes and produce.
The 1.5L Sweet Revenge bottle is available at select retailers in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Additionally, 750ml bottles of Sweet Revenge, Envy, and Desire are available at select retailers and online, with shipping to most U.S. states. Consumers can also purchase 750ml bottles at all St. Julian tasting rooms in Paw Paw, Frankenmuth, Union Pier, Dundee, Troy, and Rockford, Mich.
