"[2] Wineries persisted in attempting to solve these problems, and from the 1950s to the early 1990s many wineries in the USA and Europe, including Stowells of Chelsea in the UK, continued to try and can wine without success, as all these experiments were short lived and the wine collapsed within the can within a very short time (less than a few months).
Barokes founders, Greg Stokes and Steve Barics commenced five years of intensive R&D and by the early 2000s Barokes solved the problem of wine in a can and patented the product and a process for packaging wine in aluminium cans.
This uptake by Asian consumers was due to the lack of preconceived ideas as to how wine should be packaged and their familiarity with premium beverages in aluminium can, such as coffee.
[citation needed] In Australia liquor outlets range a number of quality wine in a can products including Jacobs Creek, Joiy, Crafters Union, Take it to the Grave, Elephant in the Room, Mascareri, Hootenanny and Le Chat Noir, Rose Rose, Brown Brothers Prosecco Spritz and Moscato One brands and CUB's Sonder wines in a can.
The largest players in the USA market are EJ Gallo with its Barefoot Refresh Spritzers, Francis Ford Coppola Winery with the Sofia Mini, Underwood, Babe, to name a few and canned wine sales in the USA estimated at $93 million in 2019[5]
