As the weather begins to heat up and social calendars fill with beach days, barbecues, and backyard hangs, convenience becomes key. For wine lovers, these moments are times we often settle for a can of cider, beer, or RTD cocktail – not because we want to, but because bringing the bottle of wine we love along just isn’t always practical.
Thankfully, canned wine production and consumption are rising in Canada and finding quality wine in a can is easier than ever. Whether you’re packing a cooler at the cottage or relaxing poolside, here are my top picks for the best portable and portioned options, no corkscrews or compromises on quality required!
