Alternative packaging trend continues with one-sip-at-a-time option
In response to the millennial marketing trends of alternative packaging and mindful drinking, Delicato Family Vineyards has introduced the new Bota Sippers, a coffee pod-sized product for those who want wine one sip at a time.
The launch kicked off on April 1, with a social media campaign.
With Bota Box's massive growth, reaching six million cases annually in 2017, Bota Box continues to be a trendsetter, encouraging consumers to try Bota Box Sippers.

The promotion even boasts a "Gold Medal" from the Tiny Wine Club.
"We really expect the tiny Bota Box Sippers to resonate with consumers who live in tiny homes," senior portfolio director Sheri Tueros said.
Before retailers rush to get their orders in, the promotion was launched on April Fool's day and the product won't actually be offered in stores.
"At least not yet," Tueros said.
Bota Box's success is no joke, however.
As consumers who knew about the convenience continue to catch on to the quality, boxed wine sales have doubled since 2013 to over $450 million and show no signs of slowing down.
Bota Box grew 26 percent in the 52 weeks ending January 2018, outpacing the premium 3L box wine category growth, which grew at 17 percent during the same period.
While Bota doesn't have Sippers, Bota Minis are available in 500 ml Tetra pack packaging, for on-the-go occasions.
