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.
