Wine in a can? I’m not so sure about that, but Friends Fun Wine — now that’s a different story.
I was recently invited into Bianca at The Delano for a tasting luncheon with the team from Friends Fun Wine and celebrity ambassador, Marysol Patton (from the Real Housewives of Miami) — and tasted my way through a new beverage line called Friends Fun Wine. Hoping to add a new category to the everyday drink menu you see (not quite wine and definitely not beer), this lifestyle beverage coins itself as being a “fun wine.”
Produced in the south of France, Friends Fun Wine takes you outside the wine bottle — do you dare? and offers an alternative for your on-to-go lifestyle. They’re packaged in a slim, aluminum can and are perfect for transporting. Perhaps, that’s why Spirit airlines quickly scooped the brand up to carry on their planes. While flying on a plane is only part of the fun (drinking with friends doubles the excitement), Friends Fun Wine is the perfect beverage to consume when taking your fun outdoors — a trip to the beach, cheering on your favorite sports team or just BBQing with friends. Better yet — no glasses or corkscrews are required.
When drinking this new beverage line, forget that it’s a wine (it’s nothing like the bottle of Conundrum that you savored last night) and view it more like a wine cocktail — and remember to drink it chilled. It’s light and refreshing — each 8.4 oz can contains only 75 calories (that’s almost the same as drinking 2 glasses of wine) and contains 6% alcohol. There’s nothing like drinking a refreshing cocktail, while relaxing on a warm summer day and Friends Fun Wine does the trick. Flavors that we tasted included Red & White Sangria and White, Pink, Peach and Strawberry Moscato Our favorite was the Red Sangria, while the best selling can is the Strawberry Moscato.
You can find Friends Fun Wine on Spirits Airline, Wal-Mart, CVS and more.
