🥂 Canned & Boxed Wine Brands Changing the Game
Let’s face it — the wine industry has been slow to change. For generations, wine’s identity has been wrapped up in exclusivity: crystal stemware, hard-to-pronounce grapes, and gatekeeping sommeliers.
But a wave of “maverick” wine brands are cracking the glass ceiling and making wine more approachable, more inclusive — and, yes, more portable.
Welcome to the era of canned and boxed wine with culture.
🍷 Why Cans & Boxes?
Gone are the days when canned or boxed wine was dismissed as cheap or low quality. These formats offer sustainability, accessibility, and convenience — all without compromising flavor. Whether you're heading to a picnic, the beach, or just want to pour a glass without opening a whole bottle, alternative packaging is the vibe for modern wine lovers.
Now, add the creative genius of a few new winemakers and entrepreneurs into the mix? You’ve got innovation in a can — literally.
🌞 Daylight Savings Piquette – Light, Fresh, and Unexpected (Sunset Cellars From Suisun City)
This newcomer is making a splash with their low-ABV, naturally fizzy piquette — a wine-like beverage made from the second press of grape skins. Not only is Daylight Savings environmentally conscious, but it also taps into the daytime wine culture. Think: brunch, beach, or backyard chill. The branding is as bright and laid-back as the name suggests, and the flavor delivers a crisp, refreshing alternative to traditional wine.
🍇 Ayaba Wines – Canned Sangria That’s Full of Soul
Ayaba Wines is on a mission to blend cultural storytelling with bold flavor. Their flagship canned sangria is fruit-forward, easy-drinking, and a celebration in every sip. Perfect for festivals, family barbecues, or post-work wind-downs, Ayaba is introducing a new generation to wine through vibrant, Afro-Caribbean–inspired flavors and fierce, feminine branding.
⛰️ Summit Boxed Wine – Elevation in Every Pour
Summit isn’t just climbing the boxed wine ladder — they’re reinventing it. With premium-quality blends housed in eco-conscious packaging, Summit delivers four bottles’ worth of wine in a box you’ll actually want to show off. The label’s focus on elevation — in quality, community, and experience — makes it a standout for people who care as much about the “why” as the “what.”
💞 Sip & Share Wines – Purposeful Pouring
Founded by Nicole Kearney, Sip & Share Wines has always focused on community and connection. Their Love on the Go canned wine collection brings their soulful, vegan-friendly wines to the next level. Whether you’re sipping solo or sharing with friends, this brand’s name says it all.
✨ Black Girl Magic Wines – Magic in a Can
The McBride Sisters are legends in the wine space, and their canned line under Black Girl Magic continues their legacy of excellence and empowerment. These stylish, vibrant cans come packed with bold Red Blends and bright Rosés that are as unapologetic as the women they celebrate.
🎉 La Fête Wine Co. – A Lifestyle in a Can
Known for its rosé lifestyle branding, La Fête du Rosé now offers canned options that make luxury feel casual. With sleek design and crisp flavor profiles, La Fête is the brand you bring to the rooftop party — no corkscrew required.
🛍️ The Final Sip
The future of wine is flexible, inclusive, and portable. These innovative wine brands are leading the way by embracing formats that fit real life — without sacrificing style or substance. Whether you’re new to wine or a seasoned sipper, there’s never been a better time to support innovation by pouring something different.
So next time you hit the wine aisle, think outside the bottle.
