Natural Origins is the first three-liter boxed wine ($20) from South America made exclusively from organically grown grapes. Enjoyable straight from the can, Volley can also be poured over ice and finished with a slice of orange or lime. Its Zesty Lime is along the lines of a margarita. If you like a Moscow mule try try Volley's Ginger.

Volley makes four flavors that are light and not overly fizzy.
