Underwood
The OG when it comes to wine in a can, Underwood knows how to please the palate. It offers Sparkling Wine, which is brand new, Pinot Noir, Rosé Wine and Pinot Gris and you can also order varietal packs, so you can taste them all. Whether camping, at a backyard BBQ or enjoying an afternoon on the lake, they're proof that you don't have to sacrifice taste when out and about. Our favorite is the Rosé Wine since it has notes of strawberry, watermelon and peach.
