This week I'm joined by Roman Sharifi, co-founder of the premium wine accessories brand Copain de Vin, based in Amsterdam. I saw their recent Kickstarter Campaign for "VinVoyage", which are groundbreaking, high-end gorgeous crystal PORTABLE and DURABLE wine glasses that you can take with you on vacation, to the beach or even a hike!

We get into why wine glasses matter and I confess to clumsily bringing my own with me when I travel and WHY.

Laugh and learn with Roman and I as we cover:

• What led him from teacher to sommelier to entrepreneur and the lessons he's learned about business and self care along the way
• How their prototype to a market-ready product took years of hard work and determination
• How sustainability is at the heart of the Vin Voyage glasses, aiming to replace plastic cups and promote eco-friendly practices while enjoying wine on the go.
• The innovative design of the Vin Voyage glasses not only emphasizes portability but also prioritizes the drinking experience with high-quality mouth-blown crystal. (yes- glasses matter)
• How you can get your hands on these awesome and innovative new glasses before they hit the market

To purchase the VinVoyage glasses or inquire about investing in this growing project, email Roman at info@copaindevin.com and mention the Sip With Nikki podcast.
