Anna Canna O’Donoghue returns to celebrate the can-clusion of everyone’s favorite alcohol-based October festivity, Cantober Fest, with a canstravaganza of canned wines.

From Sauvigno Blanc to Spritzers, from Oregon’s Union Wine Co. to Arthur Roose (who may or may not be a moose), we’ve got all the canned-sized wine you need to make any party a “Yes we CAN!” party (PS–– Remember to vote this Tuesday!).

Can-testant #1: Bert’s Spritzer

Bert’s Aesthetically Pleasing Spritzer
Feat. Simpler Wines Chardonnay (in a can!)
Also Passionfruit La Croix (in a can!)
Australian White Wine served with frozen white grapes and an option dash of balsamic vinegar.
Price: Approx. $5 but also the cost of your reputation when you show up to the party with frozen grapes.
Tasting note: “There’s a hint of something funky and booze-flavored but just like a can of La Croix you can’t be 100% sure what you’re tasting.”

Can-testant #2: Archer Roose

Archer Roose (the one with the moose)
Sauvignon Blanc (in a can!)
White Wine from some wine store in midtown
Price: Either $5.99 or $6.99 but either way that’s too much, man.
Tasting note: It smells like a musty room in a boarding school— but also papaya. Dirty socks and papaya.

Can-testant #3: Underwood Bubbles

Union Wine Co.
Underwood Rosé Bubbles (in a can!)
Rosé Wine from Oregon
Price: $5.49 at Trader Joe’s
Tasting note: With “notes of cherry and sea breeze” it’ll make you feel like you’re smack in the middle of a crab shack (but in a good way).
