Retiring Guy arrives late to the canned wine party

Wine Spectator, 8/3/2020
The category is booming in all aspects, from quality to sales to selection to availability. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, wine in cans was already a hit at sports stadiums, concert venues and pretty much anywhere glass containers aren’t allowed, but restaurants and bars are catching on as well. It is the fastest-growing segment of the market, tempting consumers with its convenience and wines made in an approachable style. And cans are poised for even greater success.

When available, this is likely to be the can I have in hand.
