WHAT IS PNKYS?

We're wine lovers who created a prodcut that tastes great, but also brings the vibes. Most wine pairs well with foods, ours pairs well with VIBES.  

Meet the founder

Hi! I'm Hogan and I love wine. I used to go out with my friends here in San Diego and would consistently order wine at the bars. I never thought this would be an issue, but it quickly turned into the same negative reactions. Bartenders wouldn't be happy about opening a whole bottle of wine for me, they'd have to pour it into a glass and I would be on the dance floor literally holding up a glass of wine. I would ALWAYS ask "is there no canned option?" and there never was. 

 

There was also a huge social standard when drinking wine at these bars.. I had multiple people make comments like "Ohhh you're too fancy to drink beer?" NO! I'm actually the OPPOSITE of fancy! This is when the PNKYS idea really sparked. Why did wine have to be so sophisticated? Why was society so caught up on only drinking wine in certain settings? (dinners, dates, etc).

 

I created PNKYS to break that mold, break the fancy notion that comes with wine and create a tasty beverage that ANYONE can enjoy ANYWHERE they want. We're breaking the fancy pinky (pnky) over here - we prefer our pinkies down when we drink our wine. Cheers!

Just Red Wine

PNKYS "Just Red Wine" is a Red Blend from Dry Creek in Sonoma. There are no added sugars, no added spritz, it's "just red wine". A lot of current canned wines on the market are carbonated, PNKYS has zero bubbles and zero carbonation. Our red wine was also created to be chilled! This is a new age wine that you can put in the cooler with your other seltzers and refreshing drinks. This red wine is 14% ABV, one 4pack is almost equivalent to a bottle and a half of wine, and one can is a bit more than a full glass of wine. It's fun, it's delicious and it's just red wine. 

Fun. Refreshing. Easy. 

PASSIONATE ABOUT FLAVOR..
BUT MAYBE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT VIBES. 

Have fun. 

We're really just here to have fun and spread the vibes. Wine has been stale for a little too long and we're brining PNKYS to parties across all of San Diego. We respect the bottled wine game, but it's time for vibe check. A new party drink has officially hit the market and we're not really leaving anytime soon. Grab some PNKYS and drink them wherever you want, the vibes will follow. Cheers! 

Our Mission & Vision

Our Mission & Vision

We want to make wine fun. When you're stocking up on drinks for your party and you're grabbing the seltzers, beers and liquors, you can also grab a case of PNKYS. The wine aisle is currently SO outtdated, every label looks the same and half of them are in cursive. It truly is hard to find just a simple red bled without spending more than 10 minutes trying to read every bottle. It's an intimidating market to get in to, so PNKYS is now available as a simple red wine option that's easy to find, easy to understand, and most importantly, easy to drink.
