As the rain beat down on Carol Tate’s Virginia Beach home, Linda Bergman stood ready, a corkscrew in one hand, a bottle of Bargetto in the other. With a twist of her wrist she uncorked a party.
She splashed a bit of the 2005 pinot grigio into the glasses of about a dozen guests. They inhaled, swirled and finally tipped the straw-colored California wine to their lips.
Sure beats burping Tupperware.
The idea is the same: Invite a collection of grown-ups – and their checkbooks – to play, then show them the product line. Half a century after Tupperware introduced home-party sales, the concept has expanded to include cookware, lingerie, craft supplies, candles, tableware, fine art and adult toys.
And now, wine.

Oh sadly, that may be an MLM I'd want to be involved in. 🙂
