The Washington Post writes that Sofia Mini Blanc de Blancs, named after Hollywood producer-director and vintner Francis Ford Coppola's actress-daughter Sofia Coppola, is a bubbly blend of sparkling white wine in a pink 187-ml aluminum can--similar to Red Bull and other energy drink packaging--with an extendable plastic straw affixed to its side.
