I can only imagine one type of person sucking wine through a straw wile having a sandwich at their desk: a rather sad alcoholic!

Fench wines are one of the worst wines l have ever tasted, dont really recommend it to know body.

Next imagine wine in alcopop style beer bottles.

I for one will be trying it. Of course wine is better in a glass but fruit juices are also better when freshly pressed and many of us drink them from small cartons for convenience on the go. The wine carton is just vin de table with lunch in the 21st century.

I can assure Angela in Oz that the French have been producing "le bag-in-box" for vin-de-pays and basic appellations like Muscadet for about seven years in sensible sizes of three, five and even ten litres !

Alex, Fontenay-le-Comte, France

Excellent idea, great for summer picnics. I would be willing to forgo the bouquet, I can make up for it in the evenings with a proper bottle!

Sally, Letchworth Garden City, UK

At last a super idea for a product that is mass produced

Yes not all wines are mass produced but most Bordeaux is

(note I said''Most' )


If it does not work at least they will have given it a try, it is all about volume of production at the end of the day. When these cartons are involved

Perfect for drinking on the tube though!

Ruth, London,

Chaucer wrote about drinking wine through a straw. They were at it over 600 years ago.

Frank Upton, Solihull,

You can not claim to sell "fine wines" and then serve them in this way. They will not be fine consumed from a box with a straw no matter how fine they were when leaving the chateau. The french believe that the Brits will drink anything. Is this aimed at the more refined elements of Brit yob culture?

Matt, Antibes, France

Like it. Unfortunately the idea of an individual drinking alchohol at their desk is alien to UK business culture, so this concept will have to remain just that.

matthew, london,

c'est dommage.

H. C. Bresson, Beune, France

I see that the French have learned from the success of Aussie winemakers although I note that they have inexplicably downsized from a sensible 4-litre box with carry handle. The straw's a good idea though.
