LCBO Food & Drink Early Summer 2020

INSIDE SCOOP

TRENDSPOTTING Yes, you can

The surging popularity of wine in a can is giving new meaning to “Grab me a cold one.” Advantage: wine in a can. Not only is aluminum lighter and more durable, it requires less energy to recycle than glass, chills faster, and allows you to enjoy two small glasses without committing to a bottle. For a barbecue-friendly red, crack a fruity Stel + Mar Premium Red (LCBO 14775, 250 mL, $4.95). And for an impromptu weekday celebra- tion, try Joiy Savvy Society (LCBO 14801, 250 mL, $4.95), a sparkling Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand.

The season for locally grown sugar snap peas is painfully brief; blink, and you could miss it. So keep your eye out and enjoy them daily until they’re gone. Eat them raw to savour their juicy crunch, or try them quickly boiled in our Sugar Snap Peas with Lemon Butter and Black Sesame Seeds. Find the recipe at lcbo.com/fdearlysummer20. What’s in season: sugar snap peas

Wine in a can cools much faster than a bottle.
