Marani Brands Inc. (MRIB)

[Matthew Berg]

These claims about the Southeast are entirely unsubstantiated and unsupported. Furthermore, the source of these claims made identical MRIB claims numerous times since the fall of 2013 all of which turned out to be untrue fabrications. The reluctance to name te MRIB retailer and/or distributor is an obvious indication that none exist. This really needs to stop or the source needs to provide some names and locations. Why would anyone let alone an MRIB long want to keep it secret unless it was a fabrication that would just make MRIB look even worse that they already do? We also have yet to see a license from South Carolina which we were refuse proof because "it is too easy to find". What nonsense.

MRIB couldn't sell in California and there's no reason to believe they can sell anywhere else with even less resources. Please do tell how the Southeast is different for MRIB? New reatailers that have not yet been burned with stories of national reps and national advertising? Fresh meat for the MRIB vodka selling part of the scam? MRIB sells another couple of cases here and there with promises of marketing support and then nothing comes and the crappy bath tub vodka sits on the shelf unsold for five years? And yes, Marani is no premium vodka. It's churned out of some contract distiller as cheap as possible and labled as premium. That's why you can get it for $7.99 a bottle at some places under a different name.
