Over the years we’ve seen the wine industry evolve from the standards of the Old World. For the wineo’s who’ve transitioned from boxed wine to the now current trend—-canned wines, there is a new sheriff in town and it’s here to stay! Younger consumers continue to popularize and create demand for these new trends due to it's convenience and sustainability.

Wine on tap isn't necessarily a new trend however, it's finally gaining it’s rightful place as restaurants and wineries work together to lower costs and reduce waste in an industry known for a tremendous amount during the production process. Less than 30 percent of glass bottles used for wine and liquor are recycled. There are many benefits of consuming tap wine and they trickle down from producer directly to consumer. Wine on tap presumably stays fresher longer because it's not exposed to oxygen. On average a glass of wine from a keg is 13% cheaper than bottled wine according to National Restaurant News. Kegs eliminate the hassle of foil cutting, uncorking and limits the massive pounds of trash from landfills over time. So what do you say? Let's all do our part to become more eco-friendly while supporting the growing movement. We’ve rounded up over seven (technically nine) places in the Greater Houston area for you to sip sustainably.
