Can't imagine how they'll do it but the next thing is ......paper wine bottles ! Well I suppose we already have paper milk bottles but apparently these wine bottles will compost, quickly. Chateau composta! I wonder how they'll improve with age. I hope they keep making some glass ones as we need them for home brew.

They have something very similar already, have a look at the bottom shelf in the super market, there is wine in boxes. I'd rather give up drinking than drink wine out of a box, it's just not right.  Wine deserves to be treated with respect. |

It doesn't bother me WF as long as the type is right, but it goes a lot quicker and it is not me to blame. That worries me.

I'm sure it doesn't taste any different but you don't get that satisfying 'pop' as the cork leaves the bottle ;D (I don't like screw caps for the same reason).
