Each bottle of Floreat contains more than 20 fresh organic rose petals, 50 lime flowers, 75 milk thistle seeds, 40 violets and a pinch of St John’s wort and horsetail, and it’s suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Anne-Marie says, “Being filmed in Dragon’s Den was a truly exciting experience and a brilliant way of letting consumers know about the brand and its drinking experience.” Anne-Marie founded and launched Floreat in autumn 2019 and quickly established a national drinks distributor at the start of 2020 to provide Floreat to high-end spa hotels and wedding venues. Floreat is produced and made in Cornwall providing the modern drinker with an exciting experience, made from wine, and lower in alcohol and calories than a typical bottle of champagne (5.4% ABV and 35 Kcals per 100ml compared to 12.5% ABV and 72 Kcal per 100ml for champagne.) Floreat is at the forefront of incorporating medical-grade herbs within wine and Anne-Marie has been able to patent this concept. It’s designed to relax guests and provide a drinking experience that’s more than just flavour, focusing on mood and stress relief whilst gently removing the negative effects of alcohol. As an experienced drinks industry director, Anne-Marie pitched to the dragons the wine for investment to support with marketing. To date, the entrepreneur has seen success with the product in the wellness sector, in premium spas as well as wedding venues. She says, “Floreat offers a complete first into the drinks market and I’m excited to continue to delight new customers with its unique blend of herbs, flowers and of course, grapes.” To find out more, visit www.floreatwines.co.uk www.gettyimages.co.uk SOMETHING TO DRINK CATERING 65
