the wrong glass is still much better than drinking from the bottle

I was referring to wine, I suppose someone has wine in the can

apparently, light doesn't bother wine as much as beer?

There are cans of wine these days, one brand is not nearly as awful as I expected.

Undereood makes a fairly decent pinot noir in a can.  I didn't like their pinot gris at all.

We went for a long walk in the park into a part we had not explored before and found Orpheus brewing just off the park up a hill and dutifully got a couple cans of pilsner and sat on their deck to quaff same.  It was "OK".

The view from the deck was nice, and the day here is fantastic, so it was good.  We were the only folks on the deck at the time.

Lighstrike can definitely affect wine.  The recent trend toward clear bottles, especially for rose' wines, is not a good one.

Heat is the major problem with wine.  And probably beer as well.

Light seems to be worse for beer than heat, although neither is particularly good.  

Cans are superior packaging vessels for either.  They're impervious to light, and they're also superior to cork or bottlecaps, for preventing the entrance of air into the container.

But opening a 750ml can of Bordeaux definitely doesn't sound all that appealing to me, gotta admit.

The word is definitely out among the craft brew crowd.  Cans are the standard at this point, bottles more rare by the month.

But for wine?  Not sure we'll ever see it really catch on.  The bottle is pretty tied into the culture.

Mis en bouteille au chateau just has a beautiful ring to it...

The wine in a can is mostly used for picnics and outings of that ilk.  The other advantage is they are 350 mL, so half a bottle.  I don't see anything wrong with it, but I prefer the Stelvin closures (screwcaps) in any wine not meant for some aging.  I despise synthetic corks, and even the composites are problematic at times because I use an "ah so" cork remover.

Incidentally, Kirkland has a "box wine" Napa cab for $13 for 3 L that is entirely palatable.  They have an Oakville Napa cab for $20 that is excellent.

That Costco box cab is tasty, I agree.  But box wines make it difficult to gauge consumption.  I had to stop buying them...

do you drink older aged wines often? or just don't want to mess with multiple gadgets?
