The Best Way to Enjoy Canned Wine

If you're headed to the beach, on a picnic, on a boat, or camping, it may be difficult to lug around a bottle of wine and a couple wine glasses but luckily there's an easier option... cans of wine!


Drinking canned wine can mute the flavors of the wine so it's common for canned wine to contain residual sugar to make the wine taste fruitier. You may be hesitant that canned wine takes on the tinny taste of the can, but it does not. Just like other beverages that are served in a can, like soda and beer, the can does not affect the taste of the wine. One thing that does affect the taste is the way in which the canned wine is served. Due to the aroma being harder to smell, drinking the wine directly from the can isn't as good as when you pour it into a glass. It is best to serve canned wine chilled, in a glass, and right away as aging the wine does not improve it.

Canned wine comes in a few different sized cans, the most popular being:
• 500 ml can - containing 3.34 glasses of wine - 2/3 the size of a standard bottle
• 375 ml can - containing 2.5 glasses of wine - 1/2 the size of a standard bottle
• 50 ml can - containing 1.67 glasses of wine - 1/3 the size of a standard bottle
