¿Vino en una lata de aluminio?

¿Podés verte tomando un vino fino de una lata? Una empresa holandesa con sede en Buenos Aires llamado IronWine, vende un Malbec-Cabernet y un Chenin Blanc en latas de 345 y 250 ml. La empresa sostiene que puede proteger el vino de la luz que puede destruir la estructura de un vino. También, el vino en general está hecho en el acero, pues tal vez no es una idea TAN loca.

Wine In a Can


Can anyone ever see themselves drinking wine from a can? A Buenos Aires-based company, IronWine, sells a Malbec-Cabernet blend and a Chenin Blanc wine in 345 and 250 ml aluminum cans. The company claims that the can does a superior job protecting the wine from harmful light that can harm the wine. Wine is blended in steel vats and is even aged in them, so the idea isn't THAT crazy.
