Mercer Estates Winery rolled out a nationwide can wine brand in 2019 called ICAN. Great for on-the-go consumers, all ICAN products are rechillable, resealable and recyclable. In 2020 they extended the popular ICAN brand with a line of Hard Seltzers.
The four wine-based hard seltzers we reviewed are all-natural, gluten-free and vegan—made with natural fruit flavors local to the Northwest infused into Mercer Estates wine.
Like the original ICAN can wines, these wine-based ICAN hard seltzers are an ideal adult beverage for recreational outings, whether by the pool, on a hike, by a lake or picnic. And at just 7% alcohol, they passed our litmus test of being light and refreshing with just the right amount of spritz backed by natural fruit flavors.
The ICAN stands out due to its twist off, resealable cap and tall, slim shape. It travels anywhere a sports water bottle might, and the resealable cap means you can toss it back in the ice cooler if it gets too warm.
Here are four ICAN Hard Seltzers we recently reviewed:
