Williams noted that wine was first
canned in 1936, but quality suffered
because the technology was incon-
sistent. Better packaging developed
over the past 12 years or so has al-
lowed the format to grow in use and
popularity. And the survey, of near-
ly 1,000 respondents ages 21 to 88,
with an average age of 34, suggests
that cans are allowing winemakers
to reach new audiences, rather than
eating away at existing sales of wine
by the bottle.

Williams and his team have com-
piled a database of more than 450
wine-in-a-can offerings from 130
wineries around the world. The most
popular sizes are 250 milliliters (49
percent), followed by 375 milliliters
and 187 milliliters. These sizes, com-
pared with a standard 750-milliliter
bottle, are part of the format’s attrac-
tion. They allow portion control, for
one thing, without the drinker having
to deal with leftover wine.

Cans also allow wine to go where
no wine has gone before, at least with-
out some inconvenience. Picnic areas,
parks and concert venues that ban glass
bottles, for example, or boats, where
glass is discouraged (and alcoholic bev-
erages may be frowned upon, but dis-
guised in cans).
