Innovative Spa To Seed Interest In Vinotherapy Among New Yorkers

NEW YORK - New Yorkers think they set trends, but they have been a step behind when it comes to the hottest trend in skincare: vinotherapy. New York City's thirst for vinotherapy skincare will be quenched in early February 2007, with the opening of the first vinotherapy spa. In time for Valentine's Day, wine lovers and spa goers will be able to indulge in decadent wine-based skincare treatments that will have them toasting to feeling fabulous.

Vinotherapy -also know as wine therapy- first found popularity in France, home to all things wine. Vinotherapy has spread across Europe to South Africa, California, and now finally to New York.

Vinotherapy spa products are made from wine extracts, grape skins, grape seeds, grape seed extracts, husks, grape seed oil and vine leaf extracts. Delivering highly effective antioxidants, vinotherapy is perfect for men or women that want to look and feel wonderful.

As the first vinotherapy spa in New York City and one of the first in the U.S., the Delluva Vinotherapy Day Spa is at the forefront of this exciting new development in skincare. Delluva's expert spa sommeliers can help relax fidgety fashionistas and busy bankers with treatments from categories such as Full-Bodied, Smooth Finish, and Tasting Menu.
