‘Shark Tank’ video: Zipz wine could score biggest deal ever

If you have been watching ABC over the past week, then you may have heard a thing or two about how we could see the biggest deal in “Shark Tank” history coming up on tonight’s new episode of the show.

After reading up and watching the video below for Zipz wine, we are starting to think that this could be a real winner. Everything about this screams “success story.” You have an innovative product design that keeps the wine fresh, and also makes it easy to drink, or reseal if you want to save some for later. Also, the packaging is sleek and easily recognizable. On the other end of things, we can tell with the company’s website that they are not messing around. Their prices, which are around $36 for twelve bottles, are about what we would expect; given that four of these products equal a bottle of wine, that means that you’re paying as much as three $12 bottles. Seems reasonable enough.

Granted, it’s hard to judge the product completely without tasting it, and even if we did, we’re not enough of a wine expert to know whether or not it is tremendous. We can point out really bad wine, and that’s about it.

There is basically no reason for a shark to shy away from a deal here, unless there is something further we don’t know. Even the valuation of $25 million doesn’t seem that far-fetched here, given the category and the professionalism displayed.

One other thing that could be in the back of the sharks’ mind is that there was previously a similar wine product on the show that did not land a deal, but still managed to be very successful. We actually feel like this product looks superior, and the pitch seems more based in humility.

We will have a full review of tonight’s “Shark Tank” episode later at the link here, so be on the lookout for that! Also, sign up to get some further TV updates on all we cover via our CarterMatt Newsletter. (Photo: ABC.)
