Last week, Trader Joe's announced a new line of wine that retails for just one dollar (!!) a can.
Much like TJ's two-buck chuck, this boxed-wine-in-a-can sounded too good to be true, IMO.
But because I’m a broke AF wino with a passion for paying my rent on time AND wine and cheese pairings, I headed to our local TJ’s…
It was time to get our (one dollar) wine on...
First up? The white wine.
And we were into it, TBH.
Hannah's Review: It tastes like seltzer and grape juice, which isn’t too bad. This would be perfect for the beach, or even patio-drinking. It’s alright, actually!
Marie's Review: This tastes like soda. I could easily down one of these cans in no time. If you're looking for a wine that will challenge your palate or give you some sort of culinary experience, this is not the one. That being said, it's pretty good!
Jesse's Review: This is literally a classy version of a wine cooler. It tastes like a cross between white wine and a spritzer. I could drink one of these in a matter of minutes. I'm not tasting notes of pear and honeysuckle, but I'm not complaining either.
Overall: 7/10 🍷
Then we moved on to the rosé.
And we were into this one even more.
Hannah's Review: This has a nice peachy flavor to it. It would be perfect for taking to the beach. I prefer this to the white one, hands down.
Marie's Review: It tastes like strawberry soda. Again, I could easily down one of these.
Jesse's Review: It's like they literally took the white one and added more flavor to it. I wouldn't say this is the best of rosés, but I'm here for it. I would not be disappointed if I drank this at a barbecue (or in the shower, honestly).
Overall: 8/10 🍷
