•1st Quantitative Wine-in-Can survey & report WICR-2018-FR
Among the top findings:
* Wine-in-cans represents a significant new wine category that is finding a permanent, positive place in the overall wine market.
        * The top 6 market drivers:
            -Convenience
            -Occasion Expansion (example)
            -Sustainability/Cost savings
            -Quality
            -Visual Image / Branding

       * Packaging in a can adds revenue to the existing market; it           doesn't cannibalize sales of bottled wine.

      * Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X and Baby Boomers are all buying wine-in-cans at the same level, although Gen Z and Millennials have a higher awareness and trial activity.
