Canned wine used to be a joke. Now it is one of the fastest-growing formats in the drinks industry. But how does canned sparkling wine actually work — and is it as good as wine from a bottle?
HOW IS SPARKLING WINE PUT IN A CAN?
Most canned sparkling wines are made in the usual way — wine is fermented in tanks or barrels, carbonation is added, and the finished wine is canned under pressure to maintain the fizz. The can is lined with a protective coating to prevent any metallic taste.
Session Fizz by Loco Wines uses a different approach — the wine is made from organically farmed Chardonnay and Xarel·lo from Penedès, Spain, and canned to preserve its natural character. No added CO2 beyond what is needed to maintain the wine in the can.
DOES WINE TASTE DIFFERENT FROM A CAN?
Done well, canned wine tastes virtually identical to wine from a bottle. The key factors are the quality of the wine itself, the can lining, and how quickly the wine is consumed after opening — canned wine, like opened bottles, is best drunk promptly.
The advantages of cans over bottles are significant — lighter, unbreakable, recyclable, and faster to chill. For outdoor drinking, festivals, and picnics, the format is simply better.
WHY SESSION FIZZ IS IN A 250ML CAN
250ml is the ideal format for single-serve sparkling wine — the equivalent of a generous glass. Session Fizz is designed to be grabbed cold, opened immediately, and enjoyed without ceremony. Certified organic, vegan friendly, and absolutely delicious. Shop the six pack at locowines.co.uk.
