It all started when we hit our friend's boat after a day on the golf course. We sailed out the inlet to the bay, pulled a cork to share with the ladies and...the bottle hit the deck! Shattering into a million pieces. We realized how easy glass breaks when you're living an active lifestyle.

While lamenting our lost wine, we talked about how we could make it different. A can, but it had to be big, so we could share with each other. And it would be great if we could open and close it, to keep the good stuff in and the bad stuff out!

We knew it had to be able to go on any adventure we chose, whether it be boating, poolside, beach, hiking, golfing, camping, movie going...wherever the wind takes us! Who doesn't like drinking wine and making memories at the same time?

That moment on the boat was like lost and found for us. Even though we lost our wine, we ended up creating a 500mL can (2/3 of a bottle), adding a resealable lid, and making great wine. By mashing all these components together, we made a canteen full of wine - The Canteen Wine Company was born!
