Copa Di Vino White Zinfandel 187ML

Copa Di Vino White Zinfandel 187ML is a single-serve California White Zinfandel rosé packaged in a patented, foil-sealed cup at approximately 9% ABV. Its defining feature is the grab-and-go format — a heat-sealed, hourglass-shaped PET plastic vessel that eliminates the need for a corkscrew, glass, or refrigeration planning.

Quick Facts: ABV: ~9%  |  Origin: California, USA  |  Style: White Zinfandel (Rosé)  |  Bottled by: Copa Di Vino, The Dalles, Oregon

Production & Heritage

Copa Di Vino gained national attention after appearing on the television show Shark Tank, where founder James Martin pitched the concept of wine-by-the-glass packaging. The wine itself is sourced from California and cellared and bottled at the Copa Di Vino facility in The Dalles, Oregon. The company uses a modified atmosphere packaging process — vacuum-sealing each cup with a specific gas blend designed to minimize sulfur levels and preserve freshness without a traditional cork or screw cap. The recyclable PET 1 plastic cup is heat-sealed with foil, a technique similar to single-serve yogurt containers, making it distinct from standard wine bottles or cans.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose opens with candied pineapple and a general tropical sweetness. Behind that initial burst sits a light berry character consistent with the wine's fuchsia-pink color.

Taste: Entry is immediately sweet, dominated by strawberry and mixed berry flavors with a fruit-cocktail quality. The mid-palate stays firmly in sweet territory, offering very little acidity or tannic structure to counterbalance the sugar. This is a decidedly sweet wine that leans into confectionery fruit rather than dry or mineral-driven profiles.

Finish: The finish is short and soft, with lingering sugary berry notes. There is minimal complexity on the close — it fades quickly and cleanly.

How to Drink Copa Di Vino White Zinfandel

Peel back the foil seal and drink directly from the cup — no glass required, which is the entire point of the format. Chilling thoroughly before serving improves the experience, as the sweetness is more manageable when cold. For a simple spritzer, pour over ice and top with sparkling water and a squeeze of lime. It can serve as the wine component in a Sangria, where additional citrus and fruit complement its sweet berry base. A Wine Slushie works well — freeze the cup's contents and blend for a poolside frozen drink. It also functions in a basic Rosé Punch mixed with ginger ale and fresh strawberries for casual entertaining.

Best For

• Outdoor events where glass bottles are prohibited — beaches, pools, stadiums, and parks
• Picnics and day trips where portability and minimal cleanup matter
• Hotel rooms or travel situations without a corkscrew or proper stemware
• Sweet-wine drinkers looking for a no-fuss, ready-to-drink single serving

Both are sweet, fruit-forward California White Zinfandels at a similar price tier, but Copa Di Vino is packaged in a single-serve sealed cup rather than a traditional bottle.

What foods pair well with Copa Di Vino White Zinfandel? Fresh fruit platters with melon and berries echo its fruity character. Mild, creamy cheeses like brie can offset the sweetness.

Why Copa Di Vino White Zinfandel?
