There’s plenty more to celebrate, from growing our team, expanding into new countries, earning awards, and completing more productions than ever before. We’re so ready for you 2025!

We've been featured on the brilliant Eat Sleep Wine Repeat podcast! Ben Franks was recently a guest on Janina Doyle's podcast where they discussed all the intricacies of premium wine in can - from sourcing to canning and debunking all the myths in between. Do have a listen (and if you want to crack of Gamay whilst you listen, be our guest 🍷).

Congratulations to Loungers plc on opening their 4th Brightside - Roadside Dining diner! We were delighted to support their opening party at Ram Jam services in Rutland, serving guests a welcome drink as they enjoyed live music and sampled the delicious menu. Our Sparkling Chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner, Grenache Rosé and Old Vine Garnacha are the perfect serve for diners looking for a great pairing for their meal, elevating any occasion. 🌼 Great team effort in pulling this together Jason Ewing Charlie Jones! Thank you India Mercer for the photos. 📸 #TravelHappy

In 2023, Waitrose & Partners became the first retailer to move all permitted small format wines out of glass and into cans, leaning into formats with a smaller carbon footprint than glass. In their latest food & drink trend report, they've shared that canned wine sales are up 36% this year. We're delighted to see this growth of the category and look forward to see this number grow in 2025, as more people discover just how good it can be and opt for high quality serves. Special thank you to Emma Penman for your help growing this category and showing that premium wine comes in more than just bottles! We’ll leave you with one of our favourite lines from the report: “When the industry innovates to reduce its carbon footprint and combat waste, we should raise a toast – and the wine doesn’t have to come from a bottle.” Points to anyone who can spot our Verdejo and Gamay in the report 👀

Happy Black Friday? For the last few years, we've decided to opt out of any Black Friday sales and discounts. This year, we’re upholding our pledge to promote conscious shopping to avoid the pressure of sales now and forever. In our latest Sustainable Sips Lauren Blanchard shares her thoughts on the pressures of this sales period on the planet, on individuals and on brands. She also takes a look at alternative approaches to Black Friday. Have you seen any brands doing Black Friday a little differently this year? We'd love to hear about any unique approaches.

✨ Serving our wines to VIP guests at the world premiere of Here & Now ✨ We were thrilled to serve our wines to over 1,200 VIP guests at the Gala Night for "Here & Now," the exciting new musical featuring the hit songs of Steps. A heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful guests at The Alexandra who enjoyed the perfect serve for gala events and drinks receptions: easy and quick to serve, yet uncompromising on quality. The evening was made even more special with Steps themselves joining the stage at curtain call. With each theatre seat now more important than ever, Canned Wine Co. is proud to support the industry and add a touch of sparkle to unforgettable experiences. The show will be touring the UK at ATG Entertainment UK venues in the new year, and is definitely not one to miss. Thank you to the amazing team at the Alex for having us and pulling off such a brilliant event!

5, 6, 7, 8 … Last night, I had the absolute pleasure of serving Canned Wine Co. to VIP guests at the Gala Night of Here & Now - the brand new musical based on the iconic pop hits of Steps, making its world première at The Alexandra theatre in Birmingham. So 🙌 Much 🙌 Energy 🙌 was in the room last night and plenty of celebrations for an incredible launch! It was a delight to add a touch of sparkle with our exciting wines. They really are the perfect serve for gala events and drinks receptions: easy and quick to serve, without compromising on the quality for such celebratory occasions. We’ve also found our next biggest fan of our vibrant & zesty Grüner Veltliner... the one and only, Craig Revel Horwood! The secret Strictly fan inside me just HAD to snap a quick pic 💃 A huge thank you to Corey Phipps and the ATG Entertainment UK team for having me there, what a night! 🥂

Welcome (back) to our Sustainable Sips series! On Earth Day 2023 we began a blog series aiming to champion a new level of transparency around what it means to grow sustainably as a start-up. We opened the conversation about challenges and nuances we face in trying to build a sustainable brand and highlight small and big wins on our sustainability journey. So far, we've covered our experience undergoing certifications like Positive Luxury, the challenges of incorporating sustainability into different parts of our business (from sales trips to office moves) and the ongoing debate of whether wine can be both organic and sustainable. Today, we're launching the series as LinkedIn newsletter, upholding (and adding a bit more public accountability...) our intention of being conversation starters and driving open debate in the industry. Read Rachael's piece on on the 2024 harvest and what it tells us about increasing climate extremes, with takes from Wiston Estate, Lionel GOSSEAUME, Markus Huber and Tenuta Viglione. We hope you'll join us on this journey, and share your learnings on the way 🍃
