South Eastern Australia, AustraliaQuite a strange little wine. First off, it's a cup of Shiraz in a can. Second, it's only 9% alcohol, which is unheard of in Aussie Shiraz. And third, it's canned in Sonoma, California. It's also quite sweet and jammy on the short palate, with candied raspberries, blackberry jam, and soft, cushy tannins. Tastes more like cassis soda, which is kind of near what it is. I guess if you want your cassis soda to have a little booze and be portable, here you go.Tasted: 16 November 2020Tasted by: Prices:

South Eastern Australia, AustraliaThis looks like Lindemans' Bin 50 Shiraz, but it's not. Instead, you get a red wine that's arguably better suited to the can format. It's noticeably sweet with 18 g/L residual sugar (Bin 50 is "only" 11 g/L), negligible tannin, and alcohol that has been notched back to 9% abv. A smart choice, because you can imagine many people drinking this like a beer (or hard seltzer). It drinks best well chilled, which suits the jammy black fruit just fine.Tasted: 29 October 2020Tasted by: Prices:
