Coffee-Flavored Wine in a Can Exists
New York Magazine ^

Posted on 06/26/2014 1:15:18 PM PDT by nickcarraway

If you're going to drink wine in a can, you should probably make it coffee-flavored, and fantastically enough, this stuff comes in two low-cal, slim-can "flavors," if you will: Cabernet Coffee Espresso and Chardonnay Coffee Cappuccino. Being the first to market with a coffee wine is a not-inconsiderable bump in mirth from the people at Friends Fun Wine, "creators of the 'fun wine' category," albeit one that was previously limited to hum-drum canned sangria and even less fun 6 percent ABV strawberry moscato. Still, it all feels a bit uninspired, so long as Aussies keep throwing back Nerds-Nutella coffee bombs, anyhow.

Sorry, wrong thread.

But seriously, coffee wine. Bad idea. Coffee in a can, bad idea. Wine in a can, bad idea. BadIdea-cubed.

There are so many things wrong about that sentence. I don’t like coffee or wine and I consider this an insult to both.

Bah! Wine gives me a headache! But,,, I saw Dill Pickle-flavored Vodka yesterday at the store. Just the thought of that turns my stomach!

Coffee flavored wine? Yuk.

Do you like your coffee black, red or white?

Is this to be sipped in a mug or in a wine glass?
Is the coffee aged to its perfection in an oak barrel?
Could I add half-n-half to the wine?

No thank you. I prefer wine-flavored wine. If I want to taste coffee, I’ll drink coffee.

Why not? At home I drink my espresso from a beer mug.

Which wines-in-a-can are the appropriate pairings with which meats-in-a-can?
