If you don't know it already, you will learn very quickly that canned wines travel so well in a cooler, a backpack, and even in a picnic basket. The size of a canned wine is incredibly personal, and it eliminates having to commit to an entire bottle. (Not like that is usually an issue!) When it comes to hosting a party, you can easily set up a bucket of ice or a cute inflatable cooler, topped with an assortment of all your favorite brands and flavors of canned wine to please each and every guest.

There are so many canned wines that now exist, that narrowing in on the best choices can be a bit overwhelming. But, we at Tasting Table are here to help you out with some outrageously amazing suggestions that will satisfy, quench, and please everyone's thirst. So check out these canned wines ASAP and be ready to red, white, or rosé all day.

1. Usual Spritz is a refreshing wine cooler for every plan

Chosen by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the "best canned cocktails and wines for picnics, beach days, and more" in 2021, you know Usual Spritz is a trendy must-try. We love that, according to the wine brand's website, each and every 8.4-ounce can of Usual Spritz is a refreshing wine cooler that tastes like a combination of coconut, pear, or strawberry. We think that it will be unlike anything you've ever sipped out of a can before. Usual's refreshing canned wines contain all-natural ingredients, they don't have added chemicals or sugar, and they're serving up just the right amount of fizz and fruity flavor. This wine is not overly sweet, nor does it contain a high alcohol content. So, if you're not a fan of sweet wines, don't fret.

What Usual does offer, is freshly squeezed guava juice, Brut, and lots and lots (Did we mention lots?) of bubbles. As a matter of fact, Usual Wines has actually counted and found that there are over 6,000 bubbles in each can of this delightful, sparkling canned beverage. (Now that is pure dedication.) So ... bubble up, drink up, and treat yourself to a Usual experience.

2. BABE wine is, well, such a babe

If you are a fan of red, rosé, pinot grigio, or all of the above, you can have your cake and drink all three with BABE bubbly wine. We're pretty biased and love BABE's red in a can the best, but you really can't go wrong with trying them all, as each one brings something different to the table.

BABE will complement every meal you prepare or order, along with every possible plan you make this summer. BABE is even back selling its 100-calorie variety pack in addition to its 100-cal rosé. Delish included BABE 100 Rosé With Bubbles number one on their list of the best canned wines of 2021, and gave a shoutout to their bright lavender and pink cans, so you know you need to pack it away in your cooler.

Heading to a beach bonfire for hot dogs, burgers, and s'mores? If so, grab a variety pack of BABE on the way, so there's something at the party to share with everyone — and you definitely can't go wrong. Serving a seafood feast with friends? Be sure to stock up on some pinot grigio, and your evening will be oh-so-complete. Just think about how hot your beach towel will look when you have your hot pink radio blasting and your chilled cans looking like total BABEs with their fluorescent labels. Face it: Everyone's going to want to be your friend at the shore this summer.

Or perhaps you're looking for a dry, crisp, and lively brut bubbles with a refreshing essence of pears, apples and toasted oak to serve with your baked brie and cracker charcuterie board. Think about sauvignon blanc if you're whipping up crab cakes, and pinot noir for pasta night, or a rosé with or without bubbles for your chicken dinner.
