Wine in a Can Is Now a Thing — and You Can Take It Everywhere

First, there was wine in a bottle. Then, there was wine in a box. Now, there’s wine in a can! Wine is sloughing off its pretentious rep and looking more laid back with portable aluminum pop-top cans that just make so much sense. Drinking on the beach, at the pool or in the woods holds multiple attractions, but trying to open a wine bottle sans corkscrew isn’t one of them. Neither is lugging heavy, breakable bottles. Or getting snagged by the beach police for bringing glass containers. Portable, casual, lightweight, unbreakable, disposable and better for the environment — what’s not to love? Here are 12 canned wines to start the par-tay this summer.

Flavors: Summer Red Spritzer and Crisp White Spritzer

Price: $7/four-pack

Website:Barefoot

Wine spritzers were basically made for summer, so a canned version is just what you need to tackle your next outing. With both a white and red blend, there is something for everyone. Bring a few packs on your next camping trip to get an epic Insta-worthy shot like this one.

Pampelonne Rosé Lime

Flavors: Rosé Lime and Red Sangria

Price: $15/four-pack

Website:Pampelonne

Like a La Croix spiked with wine — light, flavorful and so refreshing — these French wine sparkling cocktails are available in intriguing flavors like Rosé Lime, a Loire Valley Muscadet paired with all-natural passion fruit, grapefruit and lime sparkling water. Don’t forget to pack some cute cozies to keep these cans chilling longer.

Sancho Libre Red Sangria

Flavors: Red Sangria and Peach Sangria

Price: $24/four-pack

Website:Sancho Libre

Nothing screams summer like sangria. Playing on the theme of Lucha Libre, this namesake elixir means everyone’s favorite summer beverage is now eminently portable for endless outdoor fun.

Underwood Rosé

Flavors: Rosé, sparkling, Pinot noir and Pinot gris

Price: $28/four-pack

Rosé has been crowding the cooler this summer — it’s everyone’s must-have bevvie. This dry rosé is made from a blend of Pinot Gris, Riesling, Muscat, Pinot Noir and Syrah grapes. Did you know those tall boys are like half a bottle? Wine lush FTW!

The Drop Rosé

Flavors: Rosé

Price: $21/four-pack

This blush wine is a blend of Chenin Blanc, Zinfandel, and Syrah, so it pairs well with fish but also with spicy foods like Thai and BBQ. The cans are great for taking on the boat — lightweight and portable — so toss a few in the cooler with the brewskies.

Lila Pinot Grigio

Flavors: Pinot grigio, Sauvignon blanc and rosé

Price: $16/four-pack

Website:Ninety Plus Cellars

If you love your Italian Pinot grigios, this is the *real* deal in a can. There’s also a French rosé and New Zealand Sauvignon blanc available — any of the three would be an excellent choice for an outdoor wedding or garden party.

Fiction Red

Flavors: Pinot noir and Grenache rosé

Price: $40/four-pack

This wine is a pleasing everyday cab that’s jammed with blackberry flavors. A wine like this definitely has its place — like in your backpack, armrest cup holder or outstretched hands at a concert. You don’t have to drink beer anymore just because it’s all that’s there.

Sofia Mini Blanc de Blancs

Flavors: Sparkling blanc de blanc

Price: $20/four-pack

This sparkling white was one of the first to launch in a can in 2004. It comes with an attached bendy straw, just like your favorite childhood juice box, but we assure you, it’s booze.

Flip Flop Fizzy Pink Moscato

Flavors: Chill red, crisp white, Moscato, pink Moscato and sangria

Price: $7/four-pack

Website: Empire Wine

Cult followers of Cupcake Chardonnay will love FlipFlop wines from the same maker. The portable, easy-open cans are a lifesaver for outdoor events and pool parties. It’s about time your favorite wine can go everywhere you go.

Mancan Red & White

Flavors: Fizz, red and white
Price: $104/24-pack
Website:Mancan

These fizzy concoctions make a great boozy alternative to soda or infused waters on a hot day. The cans are designed to look “manly,” so that way guys won’t feel compelled to grab a beer when what they really want is wine.

The Infinite Monkey Theorem Red

Flavors: White, red, Moscato, rosé, and dry-hopped pear cider

Price: $15/four-pack

Website:The Infinite Monkey Theorem

Don’t be fooled by sweet Moscato. This one may taste as innocent as lemon-lime soda, but it has almost twice the alcohol of beer. Time to prank the buds at beer pong.

Hoaxie Wine Spritzers

Flavors: Rosé and blanc

Price: $15/four-pack

Website:Hoxie Spritzers

Like a throwback wine cooler, these spritzers are a mixture of wine and fruit flavors, but the comparison ends there. This reinvention employs exotic flavors like linden blossom and ginger, paired with a refreshingly dry wine. The result is a tall cooler with flavor combos that are a delight to the tastebuds.

Tuesdays and Fridays are the main days of the week that Whole Foods offers savings on their groceries. The first amazing deal for Tuesdays is BOGO 50% off packaged soups – perfect for this time of year!

Sometimes you just do not feel like cooking on a Friday evening after work – that’s where this Whole Foods savings hack comes in! Every Friday, you can get a large cheese pizza for $8.

As much as I love celebrity couples, I love celebrity sibling relationships even more. And Elle and Dakota Fanning are two sisters I've grown up watching since I first saw Dreamer in 2005. Considering Elle Fanning is only five months older than me, and I have a sister of my own, this is one relationship that feels particularly familiar. And while Elle has also watched Dakota Fanning act since we were kids, Dakota just revealed seeing Elle onscreen is just as special for her.

Here's why Dakota & Elle Fanning get emotional seeing each other onscreen.

Elle remembers "sobbing" during one particularly emotional Dakota Fanning movie.

“When Elle’s in anything, it makes me feel it deeper,” Dakota Fanning said at TheWrap’s Power Women Summit on December 3. “She never can fully disappear into a character totally for me as her sister. She obviously does an amazing job, but I’m always gonna see my little sister a little bit.”

And Elle is just as touched by Dakota's roles, and remembers "uncontrollably sobbing" after seeing Now Is Good, a movie where Dakota's character was dying of cancer. “Because it was my sister, I had a real traumatic reaction after that premiere and the screening,” Elle says. “Obviously the acting, but it was something felt on a deeper level.”

“I’m doing this job, I’m an actor because my sister started before me and I watched her,” Elle continues. “I wanted to do exactly what my big sister wanted to do.”

And their movies have also made an impact on everyone who watches them.

When Brit + Co caught up with Dakota Fanning at the world premiere of The Watchers, I had to ask about one of her most iconic movies: Uptown Girls. "I love it," she says of TikTok memes and edits giving the movie new life. "It's nostalgic for people who are kind of around my age, who grew up watching that movie, I think it's like a comfort movie for people. And so I love that people are still revisiting it and loving it. And maybe now that everyone's older [they're] understanding different things about it."

Dakota starred opposite Brittany Murphy, who also had roles in movies like Clueless, 8 Mile, and Girl, Interrupted. Brittany passed away in 2009 when Dakota was 15. "I loved Brittany so much and I still miss her," she says. "So anytime that she has, you know, a moment where people think about her is also nice."

You can see Elle Fanning in A Complete Unknown, in theaters December 25, and you can also stream Dakota Fanning's new show The Perfect Couple on Netflix now.
