BROOMFIELD, COLORADO, UNITED STATES, August 2, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Wine Country Network Launches 4th Annual Canned Challenge Competition
The world's premier competition for canned adult beverages is now open for entries.

Wine Country Network, Inc., publisher of Wine Country International^® Magazine and producer of numerous highly respected professional beverage competitions, announced that it accepts entries for the Canned Challenge through September 15, 2023.

The Canned Challenge is the world's first professionally judged competition to define excellence in canned alcoholic drinks. The Canned Challenge Tasting Contest will be conducted double-blind by a prestigious panel of mixologists, bartenders, beverage professionals, sommeliers, buyers, and trade members. The Canned Challenge Packaging and Design Contest will be juried by a committee of art directors, designers, and retailers, focusing on critical elements that help a brand stand out from its competitors.

Canned alcoholic drinks are convenient and enjoyable in various situations, including at home, on the beach, on the boat, on the golf course, or camping. When the COVID-19 pandemic impacted everyone, canned alcoholic drink products became the fastest-growing category in the beverage industry.

•Hard Seltzer •Spiked Spritzers •Premixed / Ready-To-Drink (RTD) Cocktails
•Wine •Mixers •Hard Cider •Hard Kombucha •Sake
