South Africa\u2019s favourites \u2013 Sauvignon Blanc, ros\u00e9 and Merlot \u2013 are now available from Spier in 250ml cans, each crafted by acclaimed cellar master Frans Smit and his team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese cans are where convenience and quality converge,\u201d says Smit. \u201cThey\u2019re terrific for on-the-go adventures and make for fantastic everyday fridge-fillers too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indeed, wines in a can offer plenty of perks. Not only are they quick to chill, but they\u2019re also light and save space: much easier, in other words, to stack, pack and carry than bottles (there\u2019s also no risk of broken glass!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This makes them ideal for picnics, events or after a long hike. And there\u2019s no reason for the connoisseurs to worry: these cans retain all the aromas and flavours that Spier\u2019s bottled wines are renowned for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not just great tasting convenience that cans offer: they\u2019ve got strong green credentials too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFrom recycling 100% of our wastewater and more than 98% of solid waste, to becoming the first winery in the world to receive Control Union Vegan Standard certification, Spier has long championed sustainability,\u201d explains Smit. \u201cWe\u2019re constantly finding ways to tread more lightly on the earth, and our new range of cans forms part of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So what gives these cans their green credentials? Well, as they\u2019re made of aluminium, they\u2019re infinitely recyclable; they also have a smaller carbon footprint than glass bottles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All in all, they\u2019re a fantastic choice for the environmentally conscious drinker.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The summery Sauvignon Blanc offers gooseberries, passion fruit and green fig. The sophisticated Ros\u00e9 has an abundance of strawberry, raspberry and apple blossoms while the Merlot is all about red berries, cherries and hints of mint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 250ml cans are an ideal size: like a carafe, they\u2019re small enough to have on your own but they\u2019re big enough to share. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
