flipflop wines has taken its taken its collection of varietals launched in 2011 and packaged four of them in aluminum cans for enhanced portability and expanded usage occasionsβ€”the beach, the pool, the golf course, etc. Varieties include California Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay, and its new Fizzy Crisp White and Fizzy Sangria, with light carbonation.

β€œWe think wine should be a fun and casual experience, and many Millennials feel the same way,” says flipflop winemaker James Foster. β€œThe cans allow drinkers to enjoy the wine almost anywhere, and they take wine to places bottles can’t go. Cans also offer other advantagesβ€”they’re easy to open, chill quickly, and hold temperature well.”

Says Foster, flipflop is the only top-100 wine brand to offer its varietals in cans. In developing the new package format, the company put the can through comprehensive testing and conducted tasting panels to ensure the wine in the can tasted as good as its glass-bottled varietals. The final format is a 250-mL slim can from Ball lined with a β€œflavor guard,” says Foster β€œthat acts as a barrier between the wine and the interior of the can.”
