These new Hardys canned wines are an accessible lineup of products targeted towards Gen Z and Millennial consumers to enjoy as a foray into the world of wine. Crafted with young consumers in mind, the wines come in three varieties including Chardonnay, Rosé and Shiraz. Each of the wines come in 250ml cans priced at £2.50 each in the UK where they'll launch for sale in June.

Offering a convenient and easily recycled option, we are expecting the cans to be a hit at festivals in the next few months, while also performing well in retail, with their compact size making them perfect for picnics and outdoor summer occasions."
