MRIB becomes more interesting with every turn. Someone, who shall remain nameless and a former insider said to have been burned by Margrit, passed on to me some fascinating information on MRIB last week. I didn't have a chance to do any DD or research on it until today but boy, it's very damning evidence that not only MRIB has been lying about the company and operations but the product is a total fraud. For all those praising the product as "premium" and "phenomenal", better than any other vodka... hold on to your Marani party hats.
The lying part is just more of the same false statements easily proven with a little research. Since someone else did it I checked it myself and it all checked out. First lie was bottle design. Not a biggie but yet another PR with false information and pretty much a blatant lie. There was no new design since way back before 2008. To do so would have required a submission for label/bottle approval. None has been made for five years. Second, the Brazil shipment. I don't have a bottle of Marani so if someone could check this I'd appreciate it. Does the bottle list all ingredients, address of both MRIB and Wine Plant of Eraskh, MAPA registration code, lot identification code and a gluten declaration? Let me know. Point is that I know that some of these aren't on the bottle and regulations for Brazil require ALL of the listed items. So, how can a shipment to Brazil have ever been ready to go or on its way when it could never have been brought into the country? Tax stamps my ass. There was never any plan to ship just PR the stock with a fictional deal. And if MRIB redirected the shipment to Brazil to the US, we'd be seeing bottles with all of these items and some Portuguese as well. Brazil was a total lie. There are some others but we all know MRIB lies big time so I'll leave it alone for now and get on to the "real" product.
So, how much do you think it costs to product a bottle of Marani? I'll tell you. Less than $3 I'd bet which sort of fits in with production costs for low grade vodka. So I was told to check out a certain brand of vodka. Bathtub crap that goes for $7.99 a bottle. Guess what, it's Marani. MRIB just relabled some cheap rot gut crap vodka, put it in a fancy bottle and called it premium. And not surprising, it's available at numerous stores in the Glendale, CA area. The brand is Emerald Castle. Records from TTB show Margrit Eyraud as the registrant of the brand way back when. Mission Liquor carries it and you cn get it mail order at $7.99 and the label (picture on their web site) is clear. "Wine Plant of Eraskh", "Filtered with honey and skimmed milk", "Ararat region", etc. It's the same damn stuff. So for all those paying $31 a bottle you can save yourself a ton. LOL. Bottom line is it's cheap mass produced vodka Margrit has been buying somewhere. MRIB put a dress on a pig. Now you have to wonder what MRIB has been paying the ghost company Wine Plant of Eraskh. Looks like double to triple of actual cost. So who gets the money that's leftover? LOL Anyone want to bet Margrit or an affiliate owns Wine Plant of Eraskh and that extra cost comes back to Glendale, CA in small wires?
Bottom line is Marani vodka is clearly $7.99 vodka and all the talk of great product is bunk. It's no better than Banker's Club well brand. I'd also like to know if this is product MRIB is selling out the backdoor. There's neve been mention of it but it's on shelves. Surprised no one ever caught this in DD. Gig's over Margrit. You've been exposed and we know the product is a fraud. Not a "real" product. Just a shutdown out of business company with a bunch of bath tub vodka in storage selling shares of stock.
