patented wine in a can

Tip a Merlot for me?  Double fisting a Cabernet and a Zinfandel?  What is the world coming to -- wine in a can?

According to Packaging World Magazine, Barokes Wines, of Melbourne, Australia, has moved its marketing of its patented wine (Patent Cooperation Treaty "PCT" application here) in a can throughout Southeast Asia and is now looking to expand into the European and North American markets.

Barokes has developed Vinsafe, a patented process that includes the specifications for the premium wine, can lining and filling requirements. Since 1997, it has been packing a Cabernet-Shiraz and a Chardonnay in 250-mL aluminum cans that can produce a shelf life of up to five years. It also packs sparkling versions of those varietals.

Barokes is also getting into the trademark spirit, with such marks as: RTDW (ready to drink wine) and VINSAFE.

If you are interested in bringing this culinary delite to America go to their appropriately named website: www.wineinacan.com
