Quite delicious, 2 very good pours. Who else has sampled any wine in a can?

Wine in cans have been around for more than a decade.

On a BA flight December last year we were, by a keyboard error, in Economy and had a Primitivo in a can. Not bad, good flavour; but harder to open a can than screwtop and one cannot close it to prevent remainder spilling if knocked or in turbulence.

We had a really decent canned South African Chenin awhile back, given to me by a retailer. It was richer and fuller bodied than anything one would expect for something not coming out of a bottle. Cheap, too.

Sorry, but when I saw this I immediately thought about the old line: do you have Prince Albert in a can?
