Proof the apocalypse is nigh: canned wine

[jmowreader]

I had to go to the local natural food store today to buy four pounds of raw organic soybeans for tofu (I gotta make it, and it's best you don't know why) when I came across a display of canned wine. You get a 12-ounce can of what I am sure is very fine wine for the rather lofty sum of $3.50.

I mean, come on: CANNED wine?

1. Ridiculous

I mean I know you can't all turn water into wine instantly like I can, but for Dad's sake, at least buy the stuff in bottles. Though I can't honestly decide whether the can is worse than a plastic bag stuck inside a cardboard box.

Makes me wish y'all still carried the stuff around in dried goat stomachs.

2. Even worse...

Once in a Japanese convenience store I found both wine and sake in juice boxes.

3. Actually, I think the apocalypse is way past due......nt

4. I thought it was the end when they started selling wine in a box.

7. box wine rocks

it's economical, eco-friendly, and they've got a great variety of quality wine in boxes nowadays :woohoo:

Wine in a can, though, I don't really see the benefit of ...

9. Alot of legit vineyards are doing that now

As well as getting rid of corks and going screw-top in bottled wines.

5. Still worse: wine in plastic bottles

Puulleeeasssseee!! I heard about this watching CNN International during a segment focusing on African countries. They're bottling wine in plastic bottles (horrors!) which only will last 2 years. I'd die before I'd take a swig of wine from a plastic bottle :puke:

6. I've had some wonderful bottled sangrias.

I realize that not real wine anymore once you add something actually tasty to it...like fruit.

10. Let me guess...

either:

1. You can't kill someone by hitting them upside the head with a plastic wine bottle
2. You can't make a shaped charge out of the bottom of a plastic wine bottle.
3. You can't break a plastic wine bottle no matter how many potholes you hit on the way from the winery to the store
or
4. If you stick a plastic wine bottle in your back pocket, fall on your ass and feel liquid running down your leg, you won't have to wonder if it's really blood.

8. They have made great strides in can technology

Beers no longer taste like the can because of a thin film that coats the inside of the can.


If it can work for beer, I'm sure it can work for wine
