In addition, category growth outpaced any other form of wine packaging in the U.S. last year, according to Nielsen. Vintners cheer because one in four consumers would be more open to trying new wines if they didn't have to buy a full-sized bottle, according to research by E. & J. Gallo Winery, giving canned varietals another edge.
