Rosh Pina-based Wine Water will offer samples of O.Vine Essence Water — alcohol-free premium water infused with antioxidant-rich Chardonnay or Cabernet Sauvignon wine-grape essence extracted from the skin and seeds of sustainably grown grapes harvested in the Galilee for wine making. Last year, O.Vine received the “Best New Water” concept award at the Global Bottled Water Congress in Evian, France.

The Mushroom Benefit of Netanya is rolling out Cuisine Bags — mesh sachets containing a sugar-free, all-natural blend of exotic mushrooms (principally shiitake and black truffle) and natural seasonings to flavor savory stews, soups, sauces or marinades without powdered soup stock. The bags, available in Asian, Italian and Classic flavors, are made of biodegradable corn fiber.
