Canned wines crowd a shelf in Portland, Oregon

Drink your canned wine soon after purchase, and other essential wine news this week. Above, a small snapshot of the canned-wine selection at one of the author's local stores.

Before I dig into the news, I want to remind you that Jancis will be on the east coast of the US at the beginning of May. On 4 May she and Tara will be hosting a tasting of Canadian wines in Washington DC and on 6 May, she’ll be hosting a rare Burgundy tasting at Bonhams in New York City to benefit the Gérard Basset Foundation.
