Top tipple swaps from bottles to cans

Forget the cork, screw cap or even a glass – ‘cracking one open’ isn’t just for beer drinkers anymore. Misty Cove in Blenheim is the first winery in New Zealand to start canning wine, and says it’s not only convenient, but also good for storing the drink. “The can in itself as a vessel is brilliant,” winemaker Andrew Bailey told Newshub. “There’s no light strike, there’s no oxygen getting in there. It’s absolutely perfect for wine really.” He says the can has a protective lining, so the aluminium doesn’t tamper with the taste.
