Newsday has an interesting article on a “new crop of alternatively packaged wines in cartons, cans and other trail-ready options.” Specifically, on the can option:
You may be more used to seeing beer in cans, but there are a few wines available in aluminum. A fun wine to try is Sophia minis from the Francis Ford Coppola winery. This is the winery’s Sophia blanc de blancs sparkling wine that is a blend of pinot noir, sauvignon blanc and muscat, but in a pink 187-milliliter can, complete with a tiny straw (suggested retail $5).
Another option is FLASQ wines from JT Wines. These are sold in 375-milliliter aluminum half bottles that chill quickly and are recyclable. Available in chardonnay, merlot and a cuvee blanc (a white blend), they come with a suggested retail of $5.99 to $7.99.
Finally… a wine you can drop.
Will have to check these out. If anyone who happens to read this has seen them, let us know.
