Sales of canned wine — which might have seemed a more touchy proposition for wine enthusiasts than boxed wines or screw-top caps in decades past — have taken off. They’re up more than 125% over the past year, according to Nielsen. As is often the case of late in discussions of trends and demographics, millennials are driving the bus, according to a report in the Independent:

“ ‘In the latest instalment of the on-going saga known as millennials-ruin-everything, canned wine is — shock horror — firmly a thing in the U.S.’ ” — The Independent

The London-based the Independent, of course, delves into whether canned wine is any less a thing in the U.K. than the U.S. (it is). It also tackles the matter of whether marketing a particular wine receptacle to a specific gender is sexist.
