The three varieties of Passion Pop in an Australian bottle shop, along with other low-cost wines

Passion Pop is an Australian alcoholic drink consisting of carbonated flavoured juice. It was created by Frank “Pop” Miranda from 1977 to 1978 at the C-Seka winery in Griffith, New South Wales. The rights for the drink were then sold to Australian Vintage, which now owns and produces the beverage. It comes in four flavours: passion fruit (original), mixed berry, strawberry (pink), and watermelon, and peach.

Description

Passion Pop is labelled as a carbonated, flavoured juice. At 9.5% alcohol, one 750 mL Champagne-style glass bottle contains 5.3 standard drinks. It was one of the first beverage products in Australia to utilise a plastic stopper (or "cork").

In Australian pop culture, Passion Pop is associated with underage drinking, with BuzzFeed labelling it "an iconic Australian beverage, usually enjoyed by teenagers drinking in parks". In 2008, the New South Wales Police Force launched "Operation Passion Pop" to fight underage drinking.
