1 litre wine boxes

by Dave C » Wed Nov 14, 2007 10:40 am

This is the first time I've seen wine in 1 litre wine boxes.

Basically it's a cardboard bottle of wine.

Sorry about the poor picture quality - I used my phone's camera.

Cheers, Dave C

Picture's fine, Dave! :)

Are you sure those aren't Tetra Paks, though? I wrote about that phenomenon (more common in Europe, only now coming to Canada and the US) in this recent article:

Sorry Robin - you're right - the shape is just like the first of the two pictures in your link:-

Green Path 2006 South Eastern Australia Shiraz ($12.99 in one-liter Tetra Pak)

They were priced the same as the bottled choice (same wine) - but you get 1 litre instead of 750ml.
