Canned wine is just as good as when it comes in bottles, experts have said.

Do not be snobby about drinking wine from a tin because it is just an inert vessel and does not spoil the taste, according to Masters of Wine Susie Barrie and Peter Richards.

They said that it is a “myth” metal containers leave a tinny taste in the mouth and said drinkers can trust cans.

The canned wine industry was estimated to be worth £1billion in 2024, according to the latest figures.

In 2023, Waitrose switched from mini glass bottles to aluminium cans to halve its carbon footprint per drink.
