The next wave of craft in a can : Wine

Canned wine sales have more than doubled in the past year, growing 125.2 percent, according to new Nielsen data (July 2016), especially in table wine (as sparkling in a can was already on the rise).

Wine in a can sales

With brands like Underwood, Francis Ford Coppola, Fiction and Alloy leading the charge, wine in a can is now trendy. A great option for BBQs, Pool Parties, Camping and Outdoor concerts, where glass is not allowed or is not convenient. In an age where experiences are valued more than possessions, travel is up, and portability is key.

Pop Culture Blogs are helping the trend along significantly:
