Mann considers cans a hot
segment, showing big growth
from brands like Oregon's Un-
derwood. Coppola and Precept
both promise to introduce "excit-
ing releases" in the next few
months. Rosé is the best-per-
forming flavor for wines in cans,
according to Mann.
"The important thing is that the
wine in cans is at least of moderate
quality with low tannins. If you do
not hit that equation, there is very
little repeat purchase," he said.
Mann also has observed a
comeback in 375-ml glass bottles.
"I think people are looking to drink
less but better, and they may not
want a whole bottle during the
week. Some of the classic premium
producers (around $30 for a 750)
are doing well in 375 format."
He's seen less innovation among
187s and Tetra-packaged wines, but
these continue to grow steadily.
Adjusting to these new formats
and sizes is not an easy process,
and as always with packaging,
wineries must plan well in ad-
vance and do their research to
meet the challenges.
