BUCKINGHAM TOWNSHIP, PA—A green sparkling wine created to celebrate the Eagles’ latest trip to the Super Bowl is so popular that a local winery can barely keep it on the shelves.
Buckingham Valley Vineyards, which is located on Durham Road a couple of miles East of York Road, has been selling the wine for about a week. The green bottles have a label that says “Celebrate Them Birds” on top and “Green Sparkling Wine” on the bottom. In the middle is a drawing of an eagle (the bird, not the football player) with outstretched talons.
Inside the bottles is a brut wine, which is a sparkling wine but not super-sweet.

On what would normally be a quite Tuesday afternoon, Vineyard Manager Mark Hart was alternating struggling to keep up with the demand. He was alternating between giving bottles of green wine to customers who came into the store after ordering online and answering phone calls from people interested in buying a bottle or two.
Hart warned everyone who called that supplies were running low and that he couldn’t guarantee there would be wine when they came in. “It hasn’t stopped since I opened the door,” Hart said of the demand for the vineyard’s green wine.
Mark Hart of Buckingham Valley Vineyards sorts through online orders of the vineyard’s special green sparkling wine on Feb. 4, 2025.
The vineyard started the day with 15 cases of green wine, but by noon, there were only five cases left. Dozens of paper bags had bottles of wine in them stacked on tables in the winery’s tasting area, but they were reserved for online orders.
This isn’t the vineyard’s first rodeo when it comes to making and selling green wine. Two years ago, when the Eagles played the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, the green bubbly made its first appearance.
“We made 10 cases as a joke,” Hart recalled, “and they sold in 10 minutes.” After a TV news story aired on Fox 29, the vineyard ended up selling 2,000 bottles.
This year, the sales started to pick up in late February. As of Tuesday, Hart said, the vineyard had already sold about 2,100 bottles. He predicted it would end up selling 3,000 bottles.
“We've been trying to stay ahead and up till today, we've managed to pull that off,” Hart said. “Today it's going to catch up with us, I think.”
Hart said the vineyard was planning to release 500 bottles at noon on Wednesday and then another 500 at noon on Friday. He explained that it takes about two days to get the wine ready, which means adding coloring and bottling the wine.
Brut wine ages for about four years, so the vineyard can’t quickly ramp up production. But Hart said that once the Eagles fever subsides, the vineyard has enough stock to fill thousands more bottles.
What if the Eagles win it all on Sunday? Hart said there’s enough sparkling wine at the vineyard to fill thousands of bottles. “If they win,” he said, “we’ll do more for the parade.”
