Story
Say goodbye to plastic cups or broken glass, VinVoyage is here to let you enjoy a 5-star restaurant experience in the most beautiful places.
Copain de Vin
Rotterdam, Netherlands
Sebastiaan and Roman, founders of Copain de Vin, have been selling premium wine products online for nearly three years. Their dedication to quality and innovation has made their brand a trusted name among wine enthusiasts, ensuring elegant and accessible wine enjoyment worldwide.
We, Sebastiaan and Roman, were inspired by the joy of drinking delicious wine in breathtaking locations. However, we realized that carrying a regular wine glass outdoors was risky due to its fragility, and drinking wine from plastic or steel cups compromised the taste. We saw a need for a high-quality portable wine glass that was both sturdy and elegant.
The KickStarter Campaign is underway, more details here.
Elevate your wine experience anywhere…
About 4 years ago the idea for our product, VinVoyage, was born. VinVoyage is a crystal mouth-blown wine glass with a special case that protects the wine glass from breaking. Our product is made for wine lovers who love to drink from glass, not plastic or steel cups.
VinVoyage lets you experience true freedom…
VinVoyage solves the problem of enjoying wine on the go. No more worries about fragile glasses or compromising the taste with plastic or steel cups. Our portable wine glass is the perfect solution, offering both durability and sophistication.
VinVoyage is crafted to be lightweight and portable, perfect for outdoor gatherings and travel. Its design ensures you can enjoy your favorite wines anywhere without the hassle of heavy bulky glassware. It meets hand luggage requirements, ensuring you can easily bring it along on flights and enjoy your favorite wines wherever you go.
The world uses 500 billion plastic cups every year. With VinVoyage, we hope to decrease this number significantly. Our product promotes sustainability by encouraging the use of reusable, durable materials, reducing the reliance on disposable plastic cups.
Why not plastic cups?
Plastic cups can alter the taste of your wine and pose health risks. Microplastics are pervasive, found in the ocean, air, and even in our bodies. On average, people ingest about 50,000 microplastic particles annually by drinking from plastic cups, a number that can double when inhalation is included. These particles are harmful to both the environment and our health.
Why not steel cups?
Steel cups can change the taste of your wine as well, often giving it a metallic flavour. They also don’t let you see the wine’s color and clarity, which are important for enjoying wine. Observing the wine’s colour, clarity, and “legs” enhances the experience, and steel cups hide these details.
We are incredibly proud to have collaborated with Alessandro Matrone, the three-time Dutch champion and Vinologist of the Year.
Inspired by Michelin-star standards, his insights ensured our glass preserves taste and enhances aromas, creating a versatile and high-quality portable wine glass.
Each VinVoyage wine glass is artisanally mouth-blown with precision, ensuring a perfect fit in our protective case. This craftsmanship guarantees a unique, high-quality glass designed for the ultimate wine experience.
Experience the luxurious feel, durability, and beautiful aesthetics of crystal glassware. VinVoyage glasses are made from premium crystal, offering a sophisticated look while being dishwasher safe and lead-free.
Our elegant, thin-rimmed glass enhances the wine-tasting experience by delicately directing flavors to your palate, ensuring you savor every aroma and note. Crafted to be lightweight and sophisticated, it adds a touch of elegance to every sip, making each moment more enjoyable.
Enjoy improved stability with our stemless design. The VinVoyage glass sits securely on any surface, letting you savor your favourite wines without worry.
VinVoyage is versatile for any occasion and drink. Our patented case securely holds the glass, keeping it stable, clean, and protected with a silicone inlay to prevent breakage and heat. Please note, the VinVoyage case is designed for carrying and protecting the glass, not for transporting full glasses.
The revolutionary mechanism is engineered precisely to stay closed in the most extreme conditions, but at the same time it allows you to get access to the wine glass by twisting the two parts in the opposite direction. Simply put the glass back in and close it again, it’s just as simple as that.
Having refined our patented product design, we are now ready to move into production. We have partnered with a reputable manufacturing company known for producing quality food and beverage items for many large companies. Our production process involves creating molds and establishing a robust supply chain for the two stainless steel cases, two silicone inlays, glass, and packaging.
What’s next?
We’re dedicated to keeping our backers informed about the next steps and when they can expect their VinVoyage. With all preparations already completed, we’re ready to move swiftly.
We’ll receive the funds 14 days after the campaign ends, then immediately kick off the first production rounds. Following that, we’ll conduct a few trial runs to ensure VinVoyage is ready and reliable. Our aim is to start shipping out the first batches by the beginning of December. Ensuring all backers receive their VinVoyages in time for the holidays is our top priority, making it an ideal gift for someone special.
