[edit] Specifications
Passion Pop is produced by Australian Vintage. Passion Pop is labeled as a carbonated 'flavoured' wine, and comes in 750 ml bottles. The drink is 9.5% alcohol, meaning that one bottle contains 5.6 standard drinks. Passion Pop has just released a new flavour called Passion Pop Pink which is strawberry in flavour. To the opened, the drinks require skill to pop a champagne-like cork. With practice however, this ritual becomes easier.
[edit] Packaging and appearance
Passion Pop comes in a 750 mL glass "champagne-style" bottle. It was one of the first beverage products in Australia to utilise a plastic stopper (or "cork").[1] Passion Pop has recently modernized its packaging; deviating from the simple white label, to a fashionable one which contradicts the previous home-brand appearance.
[edit] Price
Passion Pop costs approx. AU$4.99 per bottle.
