Wine in a Can Now Flying on Spirit
Published at | Updated at(NEW YORK) — Spirit, the airline known for charging passengers multiple fees, has always charged for wine. But now — brand-new this week — Spirit will start charging passengers for wine that comes in a can.
The canned wine is produced by the Miami-based company Friends Beverage Group, which produces such wine-in-can flavors as Friends White and Strawberry Moscatos, both of which can now be enjoyed at 35,000 feet.
The wine has a six-percent alcohol content.
“We are excited to introduce Friends Wine in a Can as a new ‘fun wine’ category with Spirit Airlines,” said Joe Peleg, Friends Wine in a Can CEO. “We believe that great tasting wine can be enjoyed anywhere, anytime and with Spirit Airlines we are taking wine to the clouds.”
The wine costs $7 per can. Spirit said “value deals” of two for $12 or three for $16 are available.
