Bubbles in a can

posted by on January 16 at 16:10 PM

I know it’s old news, but I finally got around to tasting some canned sparkling wine yesterday. For $4.99 at Whole Foods I purchased one chilled can (with bendy straw attached) of Sofia, made by the It girl director’s father’s winery. I expected instant fun, if not high quality.

No such luck. As one sampler suggested, the flavor resembled sweet-tarts, complete with the chalky after-taste. And although I’m a big fan of boxed wine, there’s just something missing without the cork pop and skinny glass. Maybe if the wine were named after a director I liked better…. Wim Wender’s Prosecco?

Pure sweetened piss. I used to take it on plane trips when you could bring liquid. It's one step better than the run-off they serve on coach.

Oh yes. Wine in a can. That's something Americans would come up with...
