  • Canned soda, canned beer...canned wine?  Not so fast!  Here's what we know:
  • The popularity of canned wine has increased in recent years, but there's one problem:  the aroma of rotten eggs
  • Cornell to the rescue and a pleasant-smelling canned wine future
  • Sulfites in wine can react with aluminum creating a rotten egg smell
  • Use of ultrathin liners can prevent the exposure of sulfites to aluminum thus preventing the fumes
  • Timing is important: canned wine is intended to be consumed quickly
  • An easy home hack to stinky canned wine: pour it into a glass and swirl.  Within minutes it volatizes ...no more rotten egg smell
  • Thanks to Cornell, we may soon be able to crack open a can of our favorite expensive French wine.
