![]() This is a light bodied Rose’, pleasant, but not complex. The nose is lightly floral, with melon, pear, and lemon. The color, don’t know, it’s dark in there. I am going to have 2 tasting notes, 1 for the wine in the can and the other for the Rose’ poured into the wine glass. So, you need to match the style of wine to the container The Tasting Notes When complex wine is not given time to “open”, the fruit is diminished while the tannins, spice, and pepper are strong, that usually is not pleasant to drink. Chardonnay that underwent malolactic fermentation was aged “on lees”, in oak barrels probably need a glass as will most Red wines that see oak aging. But if the glass isn’t available? Some wines open up quicker than others, Bubbly because of the carbonation is basically pre-opened, a Rose’ does not have tannins and has light flavors, they should come together quickly, young, un-oaked White wines should be ready to go. To get the most out of a can of wine you need to pour it into a glass, it does not need to be a stem, a plastic red cup will do. Bottled wine needs to “breathe” for at least a few minutes to hit its peak and big Red wines often need to be opened an hour or more before drinking. There is no oxygen getting thru the can, a cork allows a minuscule amount of air thru as does the seal in the cap of twist top bottles. To combat the problem some producers stuck some sort of inexpensive aerator in the spigot, which helped, but box wine still has a “tight” wine problem.Ī can of wine has the same problem as a box wine. Something that most box wine users never did. To allow the poured glass of box wine to “open up” letting it sit for several minutes and giving the glass a good swirl. WIne needs oxygen to taste its best, but exposure to oxygen will, with time, destroy the wine. To allow the box of wine to last for weeks, the internal bladder had to be airtight and therefore the wine inside came out of the spigot “tight”. But it wasn’t the quality of the wine (well, most of the time it wasn’t) it was the wine in the bladder inside the box was kept from oxygen. When box wine first came out, I would hear people talking about how they must be putting inferior wine in the boxes, because they don’t taste right. A wine can that is too cold will mask the flavors, wine is finicky it can’t be too cold and it definitely can’t get too warm, so use a beer or wine cozy if possible. I happened to have wine cozy (just like a beer cozy, only this one has Coppola’s logo) so the can will be insolated. I poured half the can into a wine stem and kept the other half in the can. in American, so that figures out to 2healthy 6 oz. That is about all I know about the juice that is in the can, so this will be a story about canned wine. The Simpler Wines Too Canny Rose’ is a $2.99 Trader Joe’s exclusive sourced from grapes from Australia.
