DEL.ICIO.USWine in plastic bottles? It’s happening
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
AJC Writer Shelley Emling reports that a French company is shipping wine in plastic bottles. She reports:
First there were plastic corks. Now there’s another reason for wine snobs to turn up their noses — plastic bottles.
With an eye toward shipping costs and the environment, Boisset Family Estates in France has announced it will export all its Beaujolais Nouveau to the United States this year in plastic. Other wine and champagne producers, such as Fetzer Vineyards in California, also are converting to lighter-weight packaging. Read the full story
Would you buy it?

Yup. We drink wine every day, but aren’t “wine snobs”. If we like it, we buy it. Right now we have two boxes of Franzia (Australian) chardonnay in the refrigerator. I read a review of it, tried it, and stuck with it. You can’t beat the price for a decent everyday wine. I wouldn’t have any problem trying a plastic bottle.

I don’t care how ,or if,they get wine from France.I prefer California wines.I buy what I like.I’ll stick with glass and the traditional cork,only because that’s what I’m used to.

Remember when they put coke in plastic? My grandpa refused to drink it, and would hold out for a store that still carried the glass bottles. With wine I figure after the first glass the containter won’t seem so important.
