Made with organically grown grapes from Mendocino County, California, this 250 milliliter can is a perfect proportion of bright, fruity rosé. We especially love Bonterra’s longtime commitment to sustainable farming at scale. Tasting notes: “Aromas of strawberry, key lime, rosewater and hints of pineapple."
The bros at Mancan wine want you to sip this blend of unoaked chardonnay and zinfandel in places where beer is typically the beverage of choice, such as fishing trips, golf outings and camping. We love how Mancan’s marketing is designed to appeal to dudes who may have shunned wine in the past. Tasting notes: “Strawberry, soft sweetness, crisp.”
Oregon-grown grapes lend this sleek and metallic can of bubbly rosé a grown-up taste and an elevated appearance. Tasting notes: “Wild strawberry, watermelon and tart cherry.”
A cheeky name and electric-pink packaging shows how Porch Pounder’s rosé is designed for those who love to have fun in the sun. This version is crafted with a blend of California-grown pinot noir, grenache syrah and sangiovese. Tasting notes: “Summer fruits complimented with citrus on the mid palate and finishing with a crisp acidity.”
A cute, 187 milliliter can that packs in big flavor. Dear Mom’s dry rosé is made with a blend of malbec and syrah. We especially love how Dear Mom donates a portion of sales to a different organization benefiting moms each month, such as Family Meal PDX and The Chicago Foundation for Women. Tasting notes: “Strawberry, watermelon and lavender.”
Perfect for pairing with off-the-beaten path adventures, Backpack’s effervescent rosé is made from 100% syrah harvested in Washington state. Tasting notes: “Strawberry and rose petal.”
Pretty watercolor flowers adorn this beautiful packaging. Inside you’ll find a delicate rosé that pairs well with flavors of the summer: tangy goat cheese or a fresh salad. Tasting notes: “Crisp and fresh with enticing aromas and flavors of fresh-cut flowers, strawberries, watermelon and white peaches.”
Grenache and barbera grapes grown in California marry for holy summer sipping matrimony. This Provence-style wine is created by famous winemaker Beth Liston, who coaxes out complex, layered flavors. Tasting notes: “Dry, fruit-forward.”
Electric-pink packaging highlights the burst of flavorful rosé inside. A blend of “low-intervention” pinot noir, grenache and cinsault grapes make this North Coast, California-grown wine sing. Tasting notes: “Rose petals, violets, ripe strawberry, fresh sage, saline minerality.”
This bright, juicy blend of grenache, syrah, carignan and grenache blanc hails from a sustainable winery in Provence, France. We also dig Archer Roose’s quirky logo, which features a man riding a moose, and vegan-friendly processing methods. Tasting notes: “Dry and fruit-forward, with notes of strawberry, raspberry and apricot compote.”

If you could distill the carefree, beautiful days of summer into a color, that color would be much like the enchanting, blush-pink tint of rosé wine. As the temperature rises, sales of rosé are primed to take off (#yeswayrosé).
For several years, rosé has been the darling of the wine industry, experiencing double-digit annual growth. The pink drink reached its peak two years ago, with 44% growth the 52 weeks ending June 2018. And last year, rosé sales were up 27%, according to Nielsen. While rosé wine sales may be cooling, the category is still important—especially when paired with another blazing hot wine trend: cans.
In 2018, reports Wine Spectator, canned wine sales jumped a whopping 69% to $69 million. It’s a category that provides added convenience for nontraditional settings that expand the overall wine market, says Fisk Biggar, president and co-founder of Firehouse Can Co., which produces Mancan Wine. “By having the convenience of a can, you can now give your beer belly a night off during what were once exclusively beer occasions, like golfing, boating or camping,” explains Biggar. “It's pretty amazing how seasonal rosé remains. The moment spring starts to peak out, rosé starts to flow.”
As cans continue to “beerify” wine and the warm weather ushers in another season of #roséallday, canned rosé will capture the excitement of these two popular drink trends.
Here are some excellent canned rosé examples to jumpstart your product sets.
