The Best Canned Wines For A Boozy Picnic
The wine world is rapidly changing. We’ve already welcomed the likes of boxed wine and fruity-flavoured wines to its ever-expanding abilities, but now there’s another new addition to add to the list: canned wine.
We’ve already seen a wave of new canned drinking options make their way to supermarket shelves, from canned seltzers to CBD-infused tipples, and now there’s canned wine, too. And it’s not half bad! Plenty of trendy brands have popped up bringing wine in canned form, from the millennials’ favourite NICE to the adorable branding of Nania’s Vineyard. Here are our favourites…
Della Vite
If you’re looking for summer drinks that are sure to impress at your next picnic, look no further than Della Vite.

Bar quality and easy to carry around, these are crafted with Italian sparkling wine from the Della Vite winery in Valdobbiadene. The mixed taster pack includes a collection of Aperitivo Spritz, Bellini Spritz, Sicilian Lemon Spritz and Hugo Spritz.
