It's closer to wine mixed with 7-up than anything resembling a sparkling wine.

Good thing SA's age is 18; and good thing South African wine is such great quality at such a good price... ;) Meg, if I remember – when you were just over 20 – didn’t you drink a little too much South African wine on New Year’s eve at Kennedy’s?

For me, I rarely drink beer and if I do it's not bud. Wine is an expensive habit and there needs to be something affordable out there. And let me note that most sparkling wine in a can is not cheap. The old school wine makers are probably cringing at that fact that sparkling wine is being produced in cans. On the other side of the spectrum, because it is more accessible people in their 20s are being given the chance to enter into the wine world in a non threatening stuck up matter. When I was 20 (not long ago), I didn't know what Prosecco was, I never even heard of it. Wine lovers get a bad rap for being snobs. This is helping its image. I'm not a Paris Hilton fan, but I'll try her Prosecco.

I believe that Americans should take a more European stance on Wine. All of the great alcoholic drinks of the world come from specific areas. Whiskey from Scotland, Beer from Belgium and Germany, and wine from Greece, Italy, and France. Whiskey was born in Scotland and Ireland-the best and most revered whiskies in the world still come from both. And while America (more specifically the Southern State of Kentucky-God Bless Bourbon) has produced a sprit they did it in the style of the original, emigrants from those areas produced it with what they had in Kentucky. Germans and Flemish came to America and produced the great beers, the best beers are done in the European Style. Therefore why shouldn't wine be done in the same manner. I will not discount California's contribution to the wine world as a whole because it has been immense, but wine is tied to culture and if we loose the culture behind the act of drinking, we loose the whole point of doing so. And culture is something we should cherish and not discount, even if a marketing and image is gain, but in the end reputation is all one has, especially a wine maker.

Greg, you said it yourself-sparkling wine is on the same level as soda, I venture to say that is not the best idea for champagne because if you think about all the care and pride producers put into their wines, you obviously can comprehend why they bottle it with such care and in such elaborate bottles. If we go down the road of mass production with sparkling wine in a can, are we to assume producers will make a sub-par product to increase production and minimize spending. And also Paris Hilton is not sexy. Sexy is a well versed woman who doesn't subscribe to social bullshit, although there is nothing wrong with good looking woman, but Paris Hilton-give me a break. I'd sell my soul to the devil first Since I’m not going to be able to correct my grammar on that last quote.

A can may be too much, but i dig the sexy vibe and paris is sexy. I'm a fan of whatever brings the power of wine to the masses... this is probably a little too far. A can of prosecco works tho cause its like a soda or anything else carbonated that comes in a can... putting regular wine in a can is obviously out of the question. what an invigorating train of thought Tpop…
