Give cans a chance

For some, it’ll always be a cork or nothing, but the same shift in attitude we saw with screw caps is happening with canned wines. Like boxed wine, the premium canned wine category is growing to meet the demands of wine lovers seeking convenience, smaller servings, and a form of packaging that’s endlessly recyclable. The glass-per-can serve means you can cater for a variety of preferences without opening a lot of bottles (great for your budget!). Expect to see more single-varietals and terroirspecific offerings this year. We recommend the Organic Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Rosé (R79.99 for 4 x 250 ml) *, brand-new at Woolies. (Bonus: no boot full of rattling bottles on your next road trip!)
