As a canning company deeply rooted in the UK drinks industry, English Wine Week is more than just a celebration of vineyards — it’s a signpost of where consumer taste and innovation are heading.

This week-long spotlight on homegrown wine gives producers a unique platform to showcase the craft, climate, and character behind their bottles. But for us in the world of cans, it's also an opportunity to highlight how packaging innovation can open new doors for these wines — both literally and figuratively.

The English wine scene has grown in confidence, especially with younger audiences and sustainability-conscious consumers. Enter the humble can — lightweight, recyclable, and perfect for picnics, festivals, and small-format sipping. As winemakers look for fresh ways to get their product into people’s hands, especially in casual or on-the-go settings, the can is no longer seen as a compromise. In fact, it’s becoming a symbol of modern, conscious drinking.

English Wine Week invites people to explore — and we think it’s high time the can took its place beside the cork.We’re already seeing more boutique English wineries experimenting with small runs of canned rosés, sparkling whites, and even low-intervention styles.

As a canning partner, it’s our job to preserve the integrity of these beautiful wines and ensure their journey from vine to vessel is seamless. English Wine Week reminds us that the future of wine isn’t just about what’s in the glass — it’s also about how it gets there. And we’re proud to be part of that journey.
