Sparkling Rose

We were first drawn to Nomadica Winery's Bubbly Rosé for it’s art work, notably Pink Body Study by Rocío Montoya.

This lively rosé features light bubbles and a refreshing finish, making it a perfect choice for a Fire Roasted Peach Pepper Jelly Happy Hour or a casual sip on the Ottoman.

Budget Pick: Rose Dark Horse

Budget Wine

The Dark Horse Rosé from California is versatile and pairs beautifully with a range of dishes. Try it with a fresh Mediterranean salad topped with feta cheese and olives. Its bright and zesty profile complements a plate of grilled shrimp tacos, where the citrusy notes of the wine enhance the flavors of the seafood and the tangy salsa.

Pinot Noir Canned Wine

This Classical Pinot Noir Taste offers a delightful experience with its complex blend of fruity notes like cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle earthy undertones and delicate floral hints.

Pair it with a roasted chicken or pork tenderloin for a mouth watering match. It also complements seafood like grilled salmon and pairs beautifully with soft cheeses like brie or camembert. Whether enjoyed with a savory meal or on its own, this Pinot’s versatility and nuanced flavor profile make it a standout choice for any occasion. Ships to Hawaii for 7 bucks!

Types of Wine

There are many types of wine, each with its unique characteristics:

Red Wine: Made from dark-colored grape varieties, red wine is known for its rich flavors and robust taste. It often features notes of berries, spices and sometimes earthy undertones. Popular varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

White Wine: Generally made from green or yellowish grapes, white wine is typically lighter and crisper than red wine. It can range from dry to sweet, with flavors ranging from citrusy to floral. Varieties like Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are well-known.

Rosé Wine: There is a lot of hype these days around “skin contact” aka “orange” wines. However, if you’ve been drinking Rose, you are way ahead of things because turns out Rosé is made from red grapes, and with limited skin contact, giving it a pink hue. Go figure! This method combines the characteristics of red and white wines, offering a balance of fruity and floral notes with a refreshing quality.

Sparkling Wine: Known for its bubbles, sparkling wine can be made from various grape types. It includes Champagne, Prosecco, and Cava, each with distinctive flavors and levels of effervescence. Sparkling wines are often associated with celebrations and can be either dry or sweet.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wine

Here are answers to some commonly asked questions about wine in general and more specifically about canned wine:

Is Red Wine Healthy?

Red wine, when consumed in moderation, can offer several health benefits. It’s rich in antioxidants like resveratrol, which may help protect your heart by improving cholesterol levels and reducing inflammation. However, moderation is key, as excessive alcohol consumption can have adverse effects on your health. We used to go to Whole Foods and purchase Reservatrol for my friends father who lives in Japan. Skip the trip to Whole Foods and the cost of International Shipping, and just pick up a can of red wine.

How Much Wine is in a Bottle vs a Can?

A standard bottle of wine contains 750 ml, which is about five glasses of wine. In contrast, a can of wine typically holds 375 ml, equivalent to about two glasses. Bottles are ideal for sharing or for special occasions, while cans offer convenience for single servings and portability.

Which Kinds of Wines Are the Sweetest?

Sweet wines include:

Moscato: Known for its sweet, fruity flavors and low alcohol content.

Riesling: Often sweet with floral and citrus notes, especially when labeled as “late harvest.”

Port: A fortified wine that is rich, sweet, and often enjoyed as a dessert wine. Or before dinner if you are at the in-laws. Port is produced in the Douro Valley of northern Portugal, thus the name Port, and is typically a sweet red wine, often served as dessert, although it also comes in dry, semi-dry and white varieties.

Sauternes: A French dessert wine with honeyed sweetness and notes of apricot. Sauternes is made from Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and muscadelle grapes that have been affected by Botrytis Cinerea, also referred to as a noble rot. The noble rot causes the grapes to become partially raisined, resulting in concentrated and distinctively flavored wines.

If you are looking for a sweet canned wine, turns out GoPuff has a small selection that may suit your fancy. Try “Bubbs”.

Which Wine is Right for Me?

Choosing the right wine depends on your taste preferences and the occasion. If you enjoy bold flavors, opt for a red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon. For middle of the road try a Red Blend. For a lighter, refreshing experience, white wines like a Chardonnay or a Sparkling wine might be ideal. Experiment with different types to find what suits your palate best.

Can Canned Wines Look Classy and Elegant?

Yes, canned wines can look classy and elegant. Modern packaging and sleek designs like Nomadica’s Bubbly Rose have made canned wines more stylish and sophisticated. Many high-quality wines are now available in cans, offering both convenience and elegance.

Can Wine Make You Gain Weight?

Everything in moderation right? Wine like any other food or drink contains calories that  can contribute to weight gain if consumed in excess due to its calorie content. One glass of wine typically has around 120-125 calories. Bottom line is, enjoy yourself, enjoy life, exercise well, eat well, drink well and go to the doctor on a consistent basis.

Cabernet Sauvignon Food Pairing:

Cabernet Sauvignon pairs well with rich, hearty dishes such as steak, lamb and grilled meats. Its robust flavor complements the savory notes of these foods.

Wine That Goes With Pizza:

Chianti, a light red wine, or honestly any Red Blend is a classic choice for pairing with pizza. Its acidity matches well with tomato-based sauces and various toppings. Acidity gives wine a crisp, refreshing quality and can balance the sweetness and richness of a wine.

Chardonnay Goes With What Food? 

While lots of Chardonnays are shitty, Chardonnay, if done well, can be versatile and pair well with foods such as grilled chicken, creamy pasta dishes and seafood. Its rich texture complements creamy and buttery dishes.

Can I Keep Canned Wine in the Fridge?

If You Have This Lid, yes, you can store wine in the fridge. Using a wine stopper or an airtight lid can help preserve the wine's flavor and prevent oxidation.
