I went to M+S for a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau this morning. I saw lots up on the shelf and picked one up to put into my basket. But it was empty !
So I picked another one and that was empty as well. What the flipping heck is going on here I thought...empty bottles back on the shelf.

But when I picked the 3rd one up and it was the same, I noticed that they were plastic bottles, not glass ! I am nearly 62 and I have never seen a plastic wine bottle before. I have bought some Vin Ordinaire from French supermarkets which sometimes comes in plastic milk container-like bottles but never this type.

Has anyone else come across this before ?

Been out years. 3 plastic bottles of wine vacuum packed were very popular with beer runners on their trips to France.

3 Litre Wine Boxes are quite good value and include some quite drinkable Wines nowadays.

Used to go for the Bo Jollies but it was normally Carp, so don't bother now!

I have just sneaked a small glassette, with lunch and it isn't bad at all ! Its a little acidic but perfectly drinkable....quite nice actually ! I withdraw my comment about alcoholic Ribena with immediate effect.

By the way, I think I might have found that wine float company :::

Nicholas is what was written on the side of the electric float all those years ago. How terribly civilised !
