(Clevescene) - “If I’m carrying a picnic basket to Blossom from the farthest lot away because I’m the last person to get there, I’m not going to want to carry a bunch of bottles,” says Banter owner and wine lover Adam Gullett. “That’s the time and place for a can.”

Wine is fine, but it traditionally arrives in heavy, breakable, non-ecofriendly glass bottles. And then there’s the need for glassware and special equipment to liberate the contents. When you’ve plowed through all that delicious juice, you have the pleasure of lugging those cumbersome bottles back out to the car with you.

There’s a solution, it’s called MANCAN, and it was conceived in a Cleveland bar by local entrepreneur Graham Veysey. 

“It was April 27, 2014, and I was at a dive bar with a friend,” Veysey recalls. “I wanted a glass of wine, but who knows how long the bottle’s been open. I said, I wished they served wine in a can. We immediately jumped on our phones to check and the only wine in a can that we found was Sophia, which came in a little pink can. I said, we need a man can, an actual 12-ounce beer can.”
