OSAKA -- Canned wine has recently been enjoying a boost in popularity amid the coronavirus crisis. Its single-helping size and easy portability make it a perfect fit for not just home drinking but for outdoor activities as well.
"Canned wine boasts a stylish design and a great taste. Whenever I take some as a souvenir for others, [the wine's] uniqueness gets the party started," said Satoshi Koga, the operator of an IT-related firm in Fukuoka. While talking about what draws people to canned wine, Koga said he has brought some with him on mountain climbing trips and has even enjoyed it as hot wine.
