Copa di Vino

Copa di Vino is a wine brand from The Dalles, Oregon, that sells single servings of wine in sealed, stemless plastic glasses, so the wine can be opened and drunk without a bottle or corkscrew. James Martin founded the company. Martin appeared on Shark Tank twice with the same company. His first pitch aired in Season 2, Episode 1, and he returned in Season 3, Episode 11. Both times he received interest from the sharks, and both times he turned down the terms and left without a deal. ABC and Sony promoted the return episode around that unusual history. His Season 2 ask was not captured from a reliable source, so it is not listed here. The product's appeal is convenience: each glass is a single, sealed serving. Martin told reporters the business had grown considerably between his two appearances. In late 2020, Splash Beverage Group completed a purchase of Copa di Vino, which it announced in a press release and disclosed in an SEC filing. This page lists the brand as acquired. A later filing mentions a licensing agreement, but we have not reviewed it, so we cannot say who produces the wine today. The copadivino.com website is still online but has not been updated in several years. Because no shark invested, none holds a stake from the show. The sales growth Martin described and the acquisition are covered in the update below.
