Passion Pop
Passion Pop is an Australian brand of alcoholic beverage classified as a carbonated, fruit-flavoured, sparkling wine. It is typically sold in 750ml glass champenoise bottles, similar to those used for other sparkling wines and champagnes.
The 'Original' variant is flavoured with passion fruit, while other available flavours include mixed berry, strawberry, peach, and watermelon.
Passion Pop was created by Frank "Pop" Miranda between 1977 and 1978 at the C-Seka winery in Griffith, New South Wales. The rights to the beverage were later acquired by Australian Vintage, which is currently responsible for its production and distribution.
