There’s many reasons to embrace the humble can. First, they’re portion controlled – if you’re not wanting to commit to a full bottle, they’re just what you need. Second, they’re ready to drink, no corkscrew or glass required, making them picnic perfection. Third, you can try two or three wines without opening three full-sized bottles. Feeling can-do? Check out our canned wine selections below. Shop in-store daily from 11AM to 8PM or reserve online for easy curbside pick up.
RAMONA
Founded by Jordan Salcito, award-winning sommelier and former Beverage Director for David Chang’s Momofuku restaurants, RAMONA is a line of sparkling wines and wine spritzes. Organic and vegan, low sulfite and low calorie, 4-packs available at CORK include Dry Sparkling Rosé, Blood Orange Spritz and Dry Ruby Grapefruit Spritz. With Ramona, Jordan filled a void for a better tasting, better- for-you, portable, organic beverage!
SCRIBE WINERY
Sonoma’s Scribe Winery produces organic, non-interventionist, hand-harvested wines that have a devoted following, to say the least. Their “Una Lou” Rosé of Pinot Noir celebrates the bright light fruit tones of Pinot Noir and its spry, natural acidity. Fresh and zippy, it offers both aromas and flavors of strawberries and citrus, with hints of salinity and a dry, crisp finish.
RUZA ROSÉ
Ruza unites craft winemaking with the format of the moment: the can. Abundant raspberry, cherry, and strawberry on the nose meets peppy brightness and a dry finish for a cool, contemporary rosé. Oh, and one more thing: it’s slightly spritzy on the palate. Chill, pop, repeat.
LUBANZI
Fair Trade Certified, Lubanzi is a collaboration between co-founders Charlie Brain and Walker Brown and local South African winemakers. Lubanzi is a young, innovative and socially responsible brand that has partnered with The Pebbles Project, a not for profit that provides health and education resources directly back to the families who live and work on South Africa’s wine farms. Lubanzi’s 375 mL canned wines include a 100% Chenin Blanc and a red blend, both available at CORK.
Lubanzi Chenin Blanc offers tropical and stone fruits on the nose, eliciting tangerine and lychee. The palate is round with, again, lychee, along with white peach, apricot and green apple, all with a touch of acidity and just a hint of freshly baked bread.
Lubanzi Red is a complex blend of Shiraz, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Carignan. Dark ruby in color, the blend puts forward aromas of plum, licorice and a touch of coffee. The palate also offers a harmonious blend of spice and fruit – both dark fruit and lighter strawberry and raspberry – as well as a bit of earthiness. Throughout, it’s soft with slight tannins, countered by an elevated acidity.
ALTITUDE PROJECT
Imported by Walla Walla’s Altitude Cellars, Altitude Project Pinot Noir is sourced from Chile’s Central Valley. Soaring with expressive notes of cherry, black plum and clove, finishing with soft tannins.
SERA LUCE VENETIAN SPRITZ
Inspired by an Italian classic, Sera Luce Venetian Spritz awakens your palate with the perfect balance of bitter and sweet. Infused with Valencia orange, a bouquet of bitter and savory herbs and other traditional botanicals, this bubbly wine cocktail invites you to savor la dolce vita!
PLOUGHMAN CIDER
Ploughman’s Muhibbah Cider was inspired by a series of Cheese, Sambal and Cider collaboration dinners with Malaysian chef Ange Branca and cheesemaker Jamie Png. Incorporating makrut lime leaves, star anise, cumin and coriander into a dry cider, this is a very unique and food friendly cider.
NON-ALCOHOLIC CANS
Looking for something zero proof? CORK offers two brands of bitters and sodas – Angostura Lemon and Lime, as well as Bitter Housewife, available in Aromatic and Orange varieties.
