Charles Smith, award-winning Washington State winemaker and founder of Wines of Substance, launches POPUP – a brand new sparkling wine perfect for any holiday gathering, and so much more. POPUP is designed to be enjoyed any day of the week regardless of the occasion.

Inspired by the great sparkling wine regions of the world, POPUP is the of-the-moment, approachable and inclusive wine for everyone, featuring an innovative pop-off bottle cap and a colorful pop-art inspired label – the first-ever wine from Charles Smith to feature a full-color label. Offering exceptional quality and value, POPUP will be available in November for a suggested retail price of $14.99 at retailers nationwide.

"With POPUP, the goal was to make a delicious sparkling wine that was especially fresh, accessible and easy to drink," said Charles Smith. "With a pop-off bottle cap top, contemporary label and affordable price point, POPUP is an unpretentious take on one of the world's most celebrated traditions: a wine with bubbles."

POPUP marks the latest innovation from Smith as he celebrates his 20th anniversary in the wine industry and the growth of Wines of Substance, which is now the 33rd largest wine company in the United States. With roots in Washington state - the fastest growing wine region in the country – Smith's wines are distributed in all U.S. states and in multiple countries, and his Seattle winery, Jet City, is the largest urban winery on the West Coast.

"Thinking about where I was in my life and career 20 years ago, I have nothing but gratitude," said Charles Smith. "Making delicious wines that people want to drink is something I will aspire to do for the rest of my life, and I look forward to what the next two decades hold in store."

POPUP will be the newest wine under Charles Smith's Wines of Substance portfolio. For more information, visit www.winesofsubstance.com.
