Copa Di Vino Moscato 187ML

Copa Di Vino Moscato 187ML is a single-serve sweet Moscato wine packaged in a sealed, ready-to-drink plastic cup at 10.8% ABV. It holds the distinction of being the first single-serve wine manufactured in the United States, a format that helped popularize grab-and-go wine consumption nationwide.

Quick Facts: ABV: 10.8%  |  Origin: Chile  |  Varietal: Moscato (Muscat)  |  Producer: Sunshine Mill Winery, The Dalles, Oregon

Production & Heritage

Copa Di Vino is produced by the Martin Family at their Sunshine Mill Winery in The Dalles, Oregon. The Moscato expression uses Chilean-sourced Muscat grapes, which are vinified and then packaged using a modified atmosphere process with specific gas blends. Each 187ml serving is sealed in an hourglass-shaped PET 1 recyclable plastic vessel using heat-sealing foil technology similar to yogurt cups, topped with a splash-proof cap — a format that was revolutionary when it launched as the first domestically manufactured single-serve wine in the U.S.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Sweet floral notes lead, with orange blossom and hints of candied pineapple. Ripe citrus comes through as the wine opens in the glass.

Taste: Decidedly sweet on entry, with flavors of ripe tropical fruit and sun-kissed stone fruit dominating the mid-palate. The sweetness is pronounced and consistent throughout, landing firmly in dessert-wine territory without the complexity of a late-harvest style.

Finish: Fruit-forward flavors linger with moderate length, carrying citrus and tropical notes. The finish remains sweet with a soft, uncomplicated fade.

How to Drink Copa Di Vino Moscato

The single-serve format is designed for immediate, no-fuss consumption — peel the foil seal, sip directly from the cup, or pour over ice for a chilled refresher. For a simple Moscato Spritzer, top with club soda and a lemon twist to temper the sweetness. It works in a White Sangria, where chopped stone fruit and a splash of brandy add dimension to the sweet base. A Moscato Mimosa — substituting this for champagne and pairing with fresh orange juice — makes a low-effort brunch drink.

Best For

• Outdoor events, picnics, and concerts where glass bottles are prohibited
• Hotel rooms, poolside lounging, and travel scenarios requiring portability
• Introducing non-wine-drinkers to wine through an approachable, sweet style
• Stocking a party cooler with individually portioned servings to minimize waste

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Copa Di Vino Moscato taste like? It is a noticeably sweet wine with prominent floral and tropical fruit flavors, including orange blossom, ripe citrus, and candied pineapple. The profile is fruit-forward and uncomplicated, appealing primarily to those who prefer sweeter wines.

How does Copa Di Vino Moscato compare to Barefoot Moscato? Both target the accessible, sweet Moscato market, but Copa Di Vino differentiates itself entirely through format — a sealed single-serve cup versus Barefoot's traditional bottle. Flavor-wise, both are sweet and fruit-driven, though Barefoot Moscato is widely available in standard 750ml bottles and tends to carry a slightly lower ABV around 9%.

Is Copa Di Vino Moscato good for beginners? Yes — the pronounced sweetness, low alcohol at 10.8% ABV, and single-serve format make it one of the most approachable entry points into wine for people who do not typically drink it.

Where is Copa Di Vino Moscato made? The Moscato grapes are sourced from Chile, while packaging and production take place at the Martin Family's Sunshine Mill Winery in The Dalles, Oregon, in the Columbia River Gorge.

What foods pair well with Copa Di Vino Moscato? Fresh fruit platters with melon and berries complement the wine's tropical sweetness. Mild soft cheeses like brie or mascarpone work well without competing for attention. Lightly spiced Asian dishes, particularly Thai spring rolls, benefit from the residual sugar cutting through heat. Angel food cake or fruit tarts echo the wine's dessert-leaning character.

What sizes does Copa Di Vino Moscato come in? Copa Di Vino Moscato is available in the signature 187ml single-serve cup format, which is equivalent to roughly one standard glass of wine.

Is Copa Di Vino Moscato worth the price? Copa Di Vino positions as a convenience-driven, entry-level wine where the primary value proposition is portability and portion control rather than complexity. The per-ounce cost runs higher than buying a full bottle of comparable Moscato, but the single-serve format justifies the premium for on-the-go occasions.

Why Copa Di Vino Moscato?

The real story here is format innovation, not winemaking pedigree. Copa Di Vino was the first single-serve wine produced in the United States, and its sealed-cup design solved a genuine problem: how to enjoy a glass of wine without opening, storing, or transporting a full bottle. The Moscato expression leans into broad appeal with its unapologetically sweet, fruity profile — it is not trying to be a sommelier's pick, and it does not need to be. For situations where convenience and portability outrank complexity, this 187ml cup fills a niche that traditional wine packaging simply cannot.
