Copa Di Vino is based in the magnificent Columbia River Gorge in The Dalles, OR. The company is dedicated to making wines available everywhere in a convenient package that is both functional and stylish.
The company started with a vision: Founder and owner James Martin and his wife Molli, who own two other wineries, were traveling on the bullet train in France when they encountered wine bottles in a glass. They were both enamored with the concept; it created simpler access to wine than what current wine bottles could provide. It reduced the carbon waster created in the bottling of wine by offering a lower weight container.
Realizing that beer has enjoyed the luxury of a single-serving can or bottle for decades, James felt the same engineering applied to wine would be a huge success in stadiums and outdoor venues in the US. He thought of little else for more than a year before deciding to develop the technology.
However, he quickly learned that bottling wine in the glass was not as easy as it seemed. Eventually he turned to the inventor of bottle of the wine he had originally seen in France, Pascal Carvin. Rather than reinventing the wheel, the two formed a partnership – Pascal would provide the technology and James would provide the determination and drive to make the launch a success.
Two years later, James and Pascal are proud to introduce Copa Di Vino.
