Roger is asking everyone to “think outside the bottle” and come up with a wine that has “alternative packaging” for review in March. I fear that some people will be stuck with Franzia Chablis from their local supermarket. That’s the only reason I can consider myself lucky to have such an assortment of perhaps slightly higher quality wines available to me in alternative packaging here in the bay area.
If I lived in Italy, my choice for this alternative packaging theme would be to find some nearby village where they still sold wine the old fashioned way — in whatever container you wanted them to dispense it into. Which in my case would be a nalgene water bottle.
Sigh.
But I will be a good citizen and go out seeking alternatively packaged wine to try. And I’ll try to avoid getting into an argument about it when I find it.
