“#NYC winery offering COVID tests with wine case purchases<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

City Winery, a popular and sprawling Manhattan wine and music venue, is offering free COVID-19 tests to customers who buy a case of wine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Depending on results, consumers can then choose to pop open a bottle in celebration \u2014 or to drown out their sorrows.<\/p>\n

The promotion may sound gimmicky, but its been helping drive sales since last Friday and Saturday when some 50 people bought a case and got a free coronavirus test, said City Winery founder and Chief Executive Michael Dorf. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think I definitely sold more wine than I ordinarily would have on a weekend,\u201d Dorf said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The promotion kicked off in a different form about six weeks ago when City Winery offered $50 rapid tests to anyone who wanted to dine and drink inside the venue on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. It attracted nearly 1,000 customers.<\/p>\n

But indoor dining was shut down again earlier this month as coronavirus cases spiked across the nation. <\/p>\n

The tests, administered by a healthcare professional, cost the restaurant and retailer $500 a day, which is why its limiting them to one per purchase. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe had some people come in as couples and with their families who all wanted to be tested,\u201d Dorf told The Post. <\/p>\n

Anyone else can still pay $50 for the test, which Dorf said goes to the lab providing the kits.<\/p>\n

City Winery will be offering the test with the purchase of a case of wine on Dec. 21-22 and again next week on Dec. 28-29 before New Year\u2019s Eve festivities.<\/p>\n

City Winery singed a deal with Accurex Diagnostic Services, which is administering and providing the rapid tests \u2014 which take up to 15 minutes for the results. <\/p>\n

Accurex, which is working with five hedge funds and a law firm providing weekly testing to their employees, had been in discussions with three other restaurants when the indoor dining ban went into effect this month, said CEO David Reese. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe were not up and running fast enough during the summer to have people understand this,\u201d Reese told The Post. \u201cI believe there is a responsible way to dine indoors with testing, even though it\u2019s expensive.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
