Have you tried one of the newest “convenience” hacks on the alcoholic beverage scene? As we get ready to raise a toast to the summer months being on their way, there’s a new player in two that’s here to bring plenty of flavour and ingenuity to occasions like beach BBQs, backyard get-togethers, picnics in the park, and more.
Canned wine has become an increasingly popular option for those looking for an easy way to enjoy their favourite wine in a more convenient setting without the hassle of extra glassware. Below, we’ll explore 3 reasons to consider canned wine the next time you shop in Salmon Arm!
Think Canned Wine Sounds a Little…Weird?
We get it. Wine has long since been associated with more elegant gatherings, sit-down meals, and refined spaces that don’t always lend themselves to convenience and flexibility. Canned wine mimics the idea of a canned seltzer or cocktail, but gives you a controlled portion of your favourite glass of wine that you can easily transport with you for the right occasion. Perks of canned wine include:
Surprisingly Eco-Friendly
You may not always think of aluminium cans as being a particularly eco-friendly option, but in comparison to the overall reusability of glass bottles, even once recycled, cans actually have a much longer “lifespan”. When consumed responsibly and recycled, canned wine comes up ahead of its glass counterparts.
Fits All Occasions
The convenience of canned wine is probably its biggest perk, as it removes the need for extra glassware and gives you a controlled, carefully measured serving so you can consume in an informed manner. Whether you want the flexibility of being able to try a smaller portion of wine without committing to a whole bottle, or simply just want a single glass every now and then, canned wine is incredibly flexible for all occasions.
Flavour Tight!
While you might worry that canned wine would have the potentially to taste metallic due to being stored in aluminum, the way in which each beverage is packaged helps to avoid this issue. The powerful compression that seals cans keeps the taste remarkably fresh, and the opaque nature of the cans themselves helps to avoid premature spoiling from sunlight.
In essence, canning offers a new, just as legitimate method of storing wine when compared to bottles. Smaller serving sizes and the ability to consume without extra glasses is certainly a plus for canned wine, but those who stand by their preference for glass bottles are just as valid.
Please enjoy all alcoholic beverages responsibly
