Alternative packaging. Say what you will, there’s a ton of non-glass options out there in the wine world, and while results are mixed, there are some quality players out there. This can got my attention with a flashy Vespa-inspired graphic, and the “Leonardo Locasio Selections” stamp on the back got me to pop the top. Pour it into a glass if you must, but the smart play is to drop a straw in and sip away the afternoon with ripe peach and citrus flavors that will cool your head and please your palate. Sold in 250ml can four packs. Beach ready — check your local regulations.
