Zipz sold single servings of wine in sealed, stemmed plastic glasses, and Kevin O'Leary offered $2.5 million for 10%, an unusually large deal for the show. Mashed reports sales rose from about $600,000 to roughly $2 million after the episode. By the 2016 'Beyond the Tank' episode the company was struggling with production and profits, and O'Leary complained that things were moving at a snail's pace. In 2019 it switched to licensing its packaging to other businesses, and by 2023 it was reported to be out of business.

✅ The on-air deal closed after due diligence.
