The first commercial Bag-In-Box was invented by William R. Scholle in 1955 for battery acid. Scholle are still the leading bag-in-box manufacturer to this day. However, the product range is considerably more diverse, as are the end uses. For use, the customer tears open a pre-cut window at one end of the box and connects a nozzle to a built-in port on the bag to pump out its contents. The BIB has many common commercial applications. The most ubiquitous uses of BIBs are for wine and to supply syrup to soft drink fountains, and bulk supplied condiments such as ketchup or mustard, in the foodservice context. BIB is also used to dispense sulfuric acid for filling lead-acid batteries in garages and dealerships. The user is generally advised to not take the bag out of the box, as the bag alone may not be able to contain the internal pressure from its contents and could rupture. After the contents are exhausted, the entire box and bag inside is typically discarded rather than refilled.
The wine cask (or boxed wine) was invented by Tom Angove of Angove's, a winemaker from Renmark, South Australia, and patented by the company on April 20, 1965. Polyethelene bladders of 1 gallon (4.5 litres) were put into cardboard boxes for sale to consumers. The original design required that the consumer cut the corner off the bladder inside the box, pour out the desired quantity of wine and then reseal it with a special peg.
In 1967 C. H. Malpas and Penfolds Wines patented a plastic, air-tight tap welded into a metallised bladder, making storage much more convenient for consumers. All modern wine casks now utilise some sort of plastic tap, which is exposed by tearing away a perforated panel on the box. The chief advantage to bag-in-a-box packaging is that it prevents oxidation of the wine during dispensing. After opening, wine in a bottle is oxidized by air in the bottle which has displaced the wine poured. wine in a bag is not touched by air and thus not subject to oxidation until it is dispensed. Cask wine is not subject to cork taint or spoilage due to slow consumption after opening. However, the bag is not hermetically sealed and has an unopened shelf life shorter than bottled wine. Most casks will have a best-before date stamped.
As a result, it is not intended for cellaring and should be drunk within the prescribed period. Bag in a box packaging is also preferred by producers of more economical wines because it is less expensive than glass bottles. Unlike bag-in-box packaging of other liquids, wine is not under pressure so it is perfectly safe to remove the bladder from the box. A bag of wine, once removed from the box, will float on water. this allows quick cooling of a white wine by immersion in an ice bath.

Goon) is a wine packaged as a "bag-in-a-box". Such packages contain a plastic bladder protected by a box, usually made of corrugated cardboard.
The wine cask was invented by Tom Angove of Angove's, a winemaker from Renmark, South Australia, and patented by the company on April 20, 1965.
Cheap cask wine is also known as "goon" in Australia and also New Zealand ("goon" is diminutive slang for flagon, the large bottles used before casks), and the bag alone known as a "goon sack", "goony bag" or "goon bag". The practice, usually by students, of consuming cask wine at parties is known as "gooning". In the United States some common slang appellations are "space bag" or "silver sack" (most earlier versions had a silvery, foil-like appearance). It is also ironically called "Château cardboard", a pun on the fact that many wine-makers attempt to cultivate a French air by naming their wine "Château-" e. g. Chateau Yaldara.
While cask wine may have a poor reputation, the packaging method does have its benefits. Bag in a box packaging is not necessarily inferior, but is simply preferred by producers of more economical wines because it is inexpensive. Cask wine is typically cheaper than bottled varieties, often around AU$10 (GBP£4, US$8) for 4 L in Australia. The bag is not hermetically sealed and has an unopened shelf life shorter than bottled wine. Most casks will have a best-before date stamped.
As a result, it is not intended for cellaring and should be consumed within the prescribed period. Deterioration may be quite noticeable by 12 months after filling.
Have complained about the cheapness of 'cask' wines, arguing that they provide a cheap means for alcoholics to become inebriated. In particular, the lower level of alcohol excise levied on cask wine in Australia (compared to beer and bottled wine) has been criticised as encouraging binge drinking.

And I ordered a fairly expensive bottle by Ridge Vineyards to accompany our dinner. I was planning on driving home and we finish only half of the bottle. Instead, I was planning to take the rest home and asked the waiter for the cork. When the waiter told me I had to leave the half-full bottle in the restaurant or finish it right here I got seriously mad. Our table was already cleared and the restaurant was about to close. I did not understand. Why can’t I take the remaining wine with me? Is the waiter making a joke? Maybe he wants to take the bottle home and drink it himself? I did not want to leave the wine behind, rushed the rest down at the bar (we took a cab) and left only a very small tip.

1/2/2009 1.43 AM Per, BKWine wrote. I'm sure it's no comfort to you but regulations in Sweden (indeed in Europe) are just as consumer-unfriendly. It is an offense to take home a bottle from a restaurant. The restaurant might even loose it's license if it allows it. Equally, it is an offense to allow diners to bring their own bottles. Etc, etc. However, a few years ago when they made the drinking and driving laws stricter in France (also in Europe) many restaurants lost business. people went out to dine less and when they did they had less wine. There was several attempts to promote "take home your unfinished bottle" by wine regions and restaurants by giving diners nice looking carry-home bags for free at the restaurants. I don't believe those campaigns were particularly successful though. Reply to this

But things have actually improved in the last few year--you can take that half bottle home from the restaurant now (it has to be specially bagged up), and you can have wine shipped to you from out of state retailers (hallelujah). But, of course, there are plenty of silly regulations left, including those that tagged Marketview--which happens to be one of my local stores. (And a very good one, with a very conscientious owner.) I originally saw a different version of the story, which implied that the fine might end up being smaller. Reply to this

Making, following, and monitoring rules costs time and energy, some of which is inefficiently spent. In 2006, Illinois passed a law allowing diners to take a half-full bottle of wine home from a restaurant. Now, in order to save $23 million in federal highway money, state legislators must take time away from some of the states most pressing issues to make a small revision that the wine must be carried in the trunk. From Crains Chicago Business.
The state law amended the Illinois open-container law, allowing diners to carry resealed bottles home in a special tamper-proof, one-use-only bag. The amendment passed by wide margins in the Illinois House and Senate and took effect last year.
However, (a U. S. Department of Transportation) letter says, the law failed to specify that the bottle has to be carried in the trunk or in the rear of the vehicle, in order to meet federal requirements. Illinois has 30 days to issue a rebuttal and show why its law does comply with federal requirements. The letter puts the state on notice that another 3% must be transferred next year unless the law is changed.
In yet stranger Illinois legislative news, we have now passed a bill that will make it illegal to purchase a case of wine directly from an out-of-state vintner, as of June 1. Thereby, I will be forced to pay the obscene Chicago sales tax to buy all of my wine locally. my favorite small winery in NY will no longer get my business because they do not have a local distributorAND all of the Illinois beverage distributors stand to gain handsomely, as they will now be in the middle of every wine purchase in the state. This is special interest-created legislation at its worst.
I wanted to share my current encounter with this Illinois open container law. It does not pertain to wine, rather two empty beer bottles. While vacationing in Panama City Beach Florida, I found two empty discarded beer bottles in a parking lot. Me, being the outdoors nut, save the planet green guy, and the one that hates throwing anything out the window, picked them up to properly dispose of them in a garbage can. I placed both of them behind my drivers seat of my two door vehicle. After returning home a week later, my vehicle was in an automobile crash with a drunk driver that didnt recieve any fines due to his father being on the county board. My car went in for repairs and finally fixed one month later. I forgot all about the beer bottles at this point. I got pulled over by an Illinois State police officer for not having a front license plate (the bracket was still on order from the body shop!). He asked if he could search my vehicle, I said no, I have somewhere I need to be, I dont have time to have my vehicle searched. I was asked to exit my vehicle, so I did so. He didnt search my car or touch anything, but got down on his hands and knees with a flashlight, leaned into my vehicle by the drivers floorboard and saw the bottles. I pursuaded to tell him the TRUTH. For some reason he didnt believe me. I even asked to do the breathilizer to show that I hadnt been drinking. He refused to let me do that. I was given a ticket for illegal transportation of alcohol. Several things that irritate me are me picking up the bottles. I should have just left them. Me getting hit by the drunk driver, and him NOT getting charged. The big-headed police officer that was persistant that my story was a lie. The fact that everybody in my town drinks and drives, and truck beds are full of empty bottles and empty cans that are thrown in the back when theyre consumed. Ive recently learned that is 100% legal due to the fact that theyre not accessible by the driver, nor the passenger. So, in conslusion, a word to the wise, If you are a nice citizen like me who cares about Illinois, along with all of the other states like Florida, and you see empty beer bottles from partiers. Please pick them up and dispose of them properly, however, make sure you place them in the trunk of your car first.
I understand the frustration. Our doggy bags for wine have Federal transportation instructions printed on the reverse side of the bag - including where the bag must be stored. These instructions not only inform the consumer, but they help limit the liability for the restaurant. Restaurants can order the wine-to-go bags at

Beth Fuller a grad student at Pratt Institute and designer of the Beetle Bag which we posted here on CRAFT, has a new eco-friendly design with her Zipper Wine Bag Collection. Beth writes. The Zipper Wine Bag Collection embodies an elegant mix of style, function, and eco-friendly design. Each bag is made with organic cotton and dyed with organic wine. The bags embrace the trend of reusable packaging solutions. they can be used to sell wine in retail settings and can be reused by the consumer. Its paradoxical nature - a wine bag dyed with wine - is didactic, teaching consumers that there are eco-friendly alternatives to conventional soft good manufacturing. The bags yield very little fabric waste, since each bag is made from a 14-by-14 inch square piece of cotton. The overall form of the bag is reminiscent of a corset that mimics the sensual, feminine shape of a wine bottle. One of the bag's most celebrated elements is its handle - a continuation of the zipper that runs the length of the bag. The handle must be unzipped in order for the rest of the bag to be unzipped. Thus, the bottle is metaphorically disrobed. Each bag features intricate pleats surrounding the neck ofthe bottle as well as a ruffled finish at the top.

Illu Stration by Mary-Ann Williams, the Queen of Felt has a gorgeous wine bottle - handbag - insulator tipsy bag. Its a nice detail how the zipper runs up the strap, and would make a nice hostess gift or a nice way to tote a bottle of wine around for that picnic, etc.
I like the design and the cool zipper handle. But I am not convinced about the insulator factor of a felt wine bag. Wood felt keeps me warm in winter. I never use wool felt to keep me cool. Does someone try this product and if so, what do you think?

I would check with your state's Liquor Authority on that one. But here's some info. YORK – A WINEDOGGYBAG STATE – Approved by State Liquor AuthoritySLA 588 allows the removal of one partially consumed bottle of wine if (i) the restaurant has the appropriate wine or liquor license, (ii) the bottle of wine is purchased in connection with a full course meal, (iii) the patron consumes a portion of the wine with the meal, (iv) the wine is securely resealed, placed in a one-time-use tamper-proof transparent bag which is securely sealed and, (v) a dated receipt for the full course meal and wine is provided to the patron. However, in some additional Googling, I found this article from 2004. down at the above link, it says. However, just because it's legal to doggie-bag that Chianti, doesn't mean every restaurant automatically allows it. It's usually voluntary for the restaurant to participate, and some opt out amid concerns they could be liable if a driver toting wine home had a drinking-related accident. In addition, in some states, the rules vary by city or county. To avoid misunderstandings at the end of the meal, consumers should ask a restaurant about its policy before ordering. Some states, including Texas, Connecticut, North Carolina and Utah, require restaurants to offer the doggie-bag option. But even some of these laws don't explicitly say that restaurants will be punished if they don't allow it. So - in NY State, perhaps it's legal for the restaurant not to allow you to take it with you. And scroll down a bit further, and this very restaurant is quoted as not allowing patrons to take the unfinished wine home! On a visit to Locanda Vini and Olli, an Italian restaurant in Brooklyn on Sept. 10 - one day after the New York state doggie-bag law took effect - the restaurant told a group of diners they couldn't take home wine leftovers. Catherine de Zagon, a co-owner, says that her attorney advised her not to let customers take out wine until October since the police might not be aware of the change in law. She adds that, since New York law doesn't require restaurants to allow doggie-bags for wine, she may continue to forbid them.
It can't be gotten into in transit if it's in the trunk, well, at least under normal circumstances. My cousin (in NY) threw a bridal shower a few years ago and was told she couldn't take out the opened wine bottles from the 15 or so tables, even though she had paid for them. We packed 'em in the trunk and took our chances.
But how is the restaurant supposed to ensure that the person puts it in the trunk? That's how the law is (poorly) written. As for you cousin taking 15 bottles- the law says one will be allowed. it would seem that if you had 15 part bottles still open, you ordered way too much.
Here in TX you can buy drive thru daquiris. All they do is put a piece of tape across straw hole that can't be removed (sure) and hand you a straw. I suppose the same might done here for wine. Sorry to be a little off topic.
The law got changed in Florida about a year or so ago and we are now allowed to take leftover wine home with the cork back in.
As others have said, laws vary by jurisdiction, but the logic behind changing the laws to allow diners to take their unfinished wine home is to reduce the incidence of people driving over the limit because they felt obligated to finish their wine when dining out. If I were in their shoes I'd consider that I'd be less responsible for you illegally drinking your leftover wine while driving home that I would be for overserving if you decided to rapidly consume the balance of your wine because I refused to let you take it home (not that I'm suggesting you'd do either of these things).
Maryland is decided by juristiction(county).The restaurant re-corks, places the bottle in a bag, adds a staple or two. This is also done in catering sample/taste situations. You own the wine. Both you and the restaurant own a piece of the DUI. BUT, if they will gladly pour, even over pour, some common sense needs to prevail. I NEVER LEAVE WINE, doesn't say we drank it. I will pour it out, my perogative. You may not be surprised how often policy gets flexible where the law permits when you insist on a sink or ? for disposal.

Giving a bottle of wine is such a joy. The most gratifying feeling in the world is the sight of happiness on someone's face when you know you contributed to it. But, in bringing pleasure to the hearts of those we care for, do we sometimes overlook the impact of our generosity on our environment? If you know someone in waste disposal, they'll tell you that their worst nightmare is the day after Christmas, when they have to find ways to clear up tons of wrapping paper and foil. Use-once-and-throw-away gift wrapping is heartbreaking. such beautiful things shouldn't have to be torn and thrown away. Here's one nice answer. Re-usable gift bags. If you run a winery or a wine store, putting your logo on an environmentally friendly wine bag for gifting or re-use is a great branding ploy.
Gary Vaynerchuk tries 3 very interesting wines in a format he is far more accustomed to. The format you see today is reminiscent to the way Gary and many other wine buyers BUY wine for their establishments!
I really enjoyed this show, Gary. Look to the Oct. 15, 2008 issue of Wine Spectator. Values for an article featuring Gigondas that highlights Louis Barruol and his wine Little James Basket Press. I like this wine a lot, but agree that it finishes quickly. I am excited to try the Gewurztraminer and will have the perfect opportunity at my wine tasting group this week- themed Alsace! QOTD. What do you think is the most exciting wine region right now?
Good show as always. QOTD. If I could ask you something over a glass of wine, here it is I have a great day job which I love and pays the bills (very well), but my true passion is for the startups I work on at night. Youve said before something to the effect of dont watch f*cking Lost and pound it out til 2am, but the problem is that I also have a fiancee (whom I also love) who needs her share of my time as well. Do you have any advice for how youve dealt with that kind of situation with your wife? And also, why cant my apartment office sign for Wine Library packages?!? Do you know how many days Ive come in late for work waiting on FedEx to deliver my wine?
My Question when is winelibrary going to ship to Michigan? Its the best wine retailer on the web and I know a dozen people that would hit the secret pack immediately. Noticed that there are other large NJ-based retail websites that ship to Michigan.
QOTD. easy question, Gary tell me about growing up a vaynerchuk favorite trips, events, and the story or two about you that always is told at the Thanksgiving table. Here let me pour you a glass and well just chat.. 3
Gary, Great show. My question for you would be, Where do you see yourself in 2, 5, 10 years. At the heart of that is do you see yourself more in motivation, web 2.0, wine, or all of the above.
QOTD- What is it like to be living in your dream job? Show idea- For those of us who dont decant, could you do a show with three bottles- one pop and pour, one open for hour, one open three hours. Interesting for me because the closest I get to decanting is having a glass the next day
Gary, love the show. I watch whenever I get the chance. But sometimes when I dont have time I skip through to find your take on the Jets (predictions, comments) cause I LOVE when you talk jets football. Just a suggestion you should put a little divider (like you do for each wine) on the navigation bar for when you talk jets football. QOTD. Ty law.)?.(?
Great change of pace with this show. I might have to check out the Moulin since it sounds like Brickhouses Gamay that I really like, but really havent liked much of the normal Beaujolais. I hope the beard gets started this thursday and lasts til December 28 when I get a late Christmas gift from Mr. Parcells. QOTD. This is a tough one as there are a few, but I would go with this. Given that you seem to be all over the place these days and put yourself out in the public eye, does it ever feel that you have time to just be yourself?
Yes I also recognized the Dave Batista figurine. It was very good to see a Beaujolais Cru get some publicity. Sounds like a truly excellent wine. If I am not mistaken, Gewurztraminer means spicy grape. Although for spiritual reasons I do not eat shellfish, I have read that this kind of wine goes very well with raw oysters, a good substitute for muscadet or fino sherry. That wine looked delicious too. QOTD to Gary. What wines do you drink purely for pleasure, guilt-free? And, are you planning any visits with videotaping to the Alsace region?
Good show Gary, One of my best buds used to be a wine distributor, it was awesome watching him work it. QOTD. Thats a good one, I dont know, Id probably just talk about freakin wine and footballperhaps steaks. My three favorite things!
Good show! It coincides nicely with our next wine tasting of Beaujolais on November 21st. (no noveau) Jim
The gewurz beaujolais sound SO YUMMY ! QOTD. What wine goes with chicken. kidding OK Gary a question to you could be, did you vote for Obama as you said you would, and how do you feel about the future of our great country?
Excellent! Times three!!! Among Lucien Albrechts very good entry level wines is the outstanding Methode Champenoise, Cremant dAlsace Brut Rose, also under $20. Several sites state that the St. James Little Basket Press is 100% Grenache, a portion of which is purchased fruit from Rousillion, and some of that, which is carbonically macerated. In order to have 50% proportion of a cuvee from the current vintage, it follows that that volume (x number of barrels, or half of the cuvee production) must be fermented seperately from the solera wines, then blended with an equal volume from the solera. Remainders may then be added to the solera for the next vintage. This wine sounds cost conscious in production methods employed, as well as deliciously juicy. Reminds me of the Vin dAvril from Paul Avril
Lovvvve this format and yes, you look tremendous. Fun show as always. QOTD. At first, the question would have been when will I ever get to see this wonder woman you are married to but since I have now met this wonderful lady (Jets game on your anniversary?) my question would be. Have you thought about developing a Free Trade Wine Zone or some legal way of getting wines to archaic law abiding states such as Maryland? With your clout within the wine industry, there has to be a ground roots movement to change these laws. This would be taking the marketing and selling of wine to a new level. Cheers! P. S. I hope the Metro police would stop me and check my bag toting home these wines from DC to MD just to fight it all the way to the Supreme Court.
QOTD. Person-wine pairing If you could spend an hour talking with anyoneanyonewho would that be (currently alive individuals only), and what bottle of wine would you share during that conversation?
I liked this ep. It keeps things fresh for us when you change up the format. Im sure it keeps it fresh for you too. QotD. Heres my question. Can I have a free Thanksgiving pack? Haha. But seriously, can you explain the differences in taste between a barrel sample and wine in the bottle. Ive heard that barrel samples are more luscious. Does that make it harder to identify the components/flavors, or is it like a color photo vs. a black and white one?
Awesome! Gewurztraminers Ive had tend to be too over-the-top for my likingAlot of tropical, litchi, floral aspects that I, personally find over-bearing. I havent had many, however. QOTD. What has inspired you, converted you to wine. How did you fall in love with it and what keeps you drinking it? (I guess thats, 3 but heyMaybe it is really but one question.) Keep bringin the thunder!
QOTD - If we were hangin talkin wine, Im sure Id end up by asking you When we gonna do it again?. Keep up the good work! Happy Anniversary, and Happy Birthday!!! drink wine with someone you love.
Absolutely superb episode! I especially liked the way you successfully switched up the vocabulary required to properly describe these wines. Very valuable insight into the tasting skill needed for wildly different wines. Truly remarkable effort, GV. Kudos. QOTD. Where will you be Dec. 6th?
Great show, so are you telling me that cru gamay is basically like stockton to malone.? i dig it. i like the paxton to horace grant to scottie and then back to mj but nothing will beat the john starks over you know who. go knicks!!!! QOTD. Do you ever fake the funk on a nasty dunk???
I agree with KenP - if you dont pay attention when going from one wine to a very different one, its easy to just swing and miss on it, so nice work on todays episode. QOTD. Gary, my question for you is quite important. Ive been watching your show for almost a year now, and in a month Ill be turning 21. My parents want to get me two bottles of a 1987 wine for my birthday. I watch the show, they do not. What direction should I steer them in? Keep in mind I will be both laying this down and drinking it in a month. And speaking of turning 21 soon and watching your show for a year - a million thanks for a virtually free wine education!!
I liked the format because I think it would be fascinating to taste all of those wines from all over the world. Moulin A Vent is SICK! I travel to France 2 or 3 times a year. Mostly west of Paris. I have a colleague in Chartres that loves the stuff and we usually find a wine with 10+ years of age that is pure magic. QOTD - How do you balance a good professional life, a good family life, and a fanaticism for sports? I love sports myself, but I lost my fanaticism years ago because life is short and getting upset over a sports team loss seemed pointless.
Ill have to try that last one. What would be the one case of wine you would buy for an investment from 2005? Why havent you opened a shop in NYC? And what is your opinion of Marvin Shankin? Email me. I would love to know.
I liked this episode a lot. It is fun to watch someone so involved with wine still get so excited about different wines, like someone new to the scene. It keeps the show fresh for sure. QOTD. when can we see an episode with wines available north of the border?? thanks G. V.
Im a 38 Year Old Woman!!! Woo Hoo!!! Do you think Gary could do an entire show sitting on his hands? (except for using them to sniffy sniff and whirl, LOL) QOTD. What high school did you go to? (LOL - thats just an inside joke for any St. Louis people who might be here.) SERIOUS QOTD. What was it that took your delivery of the WineLibraryTV Show from a basic wine tasting show to a revolutionary, kick @$$ Wine Tasting Show? Your energy and passion went from 10% in the very beginning to 1010%. What did it?
Great show. Ill dig into some Gamay next week. QOTD - If you had to make a choice between drinking wine and marketing/business, which would you choose? In other words, you either have to quit drinking wine or quit your job. Which way do you go? QOTD 2 - Are you no longer Friending people up on Facebook?
Nice show of various stuff. Enjoyed the Beaujolais rant, as always (every time youve done Cru Beau youve done thisI always chuckle a bit) QOTD. If you HAD to, would you give up wine or football? QOTD2. If you were going to buy a chunk of land in one of the other 46 to start a winery, where would it be and what would you plant?
QOTD. Which 10 wines could I try that would best describe your palate? Then I could really tell how similar our palates were, and where we differed. That would make your reviews even more useful to me.
QOTD. So when ya comin over for dinner? Sometimes I feel like a weirdo Im such an Alsace and Beaujolais fan. Such great wines, such great values in the French wine world. Ill buy a case of the beaujolais you tried if I can get my hands on it.
Fun show ! I agree with you on beaujolais being under rated. I had a beaujolais village last week with my flatmates. I really liked the structure that it had. My QOTD. what red wine would you recommend for red cote du rhone lovers? (from other countries than France) PS. I have been writing my 4th year Italian project on Tuscan wines and the past WLTV episodes have been great help ! Thanks Gary !
Gwertz one of my favourite whites The Little Basket! hah our wine rep came in for dinner brought in this wine in the portfolio tried it its cool has a dusty cellar notes to me really neat. Moulin A Vent - I have one half of case left of these in my cellar! QOTD. How much BC (Okanagan) wine have you drunk and would you sell it at your store? hah
Gary Veeeeeeeeeeeee. you rocked it on this show! I love the shows when you are so stoked and full of piss and vinegar, like someone shoved a few Madagascar hissing cockroaches in your shorts! Great advice on the gamay. I have only had the beaujoulais (is that how you spell that? probably not) nouveaus, and those were like kool-aid with a slight kick. I will have to find a REAL gamay and check it out. Thanks for opening our eyes! QOTD - what would be your top 3 favorite chinon/cab francs, from anywhere, at the moment?
Gary, Terrific episode. The Best. As for the Cru Beaujolais, thank you, thank you, thank you. You got me into Morgon several hundred episodes ago and I call these poor mans Burgundies. I must admit that I am guilty of not leaving comments very often but these wines will bring me out every time. I was drinking a Babcock pinot when I sat down to watch, but I put the cork back in it, and went down and pulled out a Brouilly I happened to buy last weekend. No comparison. Thank you, thank you, thank you. QOTD. How long do you think it will take you to turn Beaujolais in to a $75.00 wine. Best wishes
Great show. QOTD. I sent over 3 bottles of wine, a T-shirt and a shout out several weeks ago, and have not had any confirmation or feedback. What gives? At least say Hey, We got them, thanks but no thanks, or send them back.
Brilliant episode, the format was awesome. I am not sure I could flip from wine to wine and still have the insight that Gary did - maybe one day. Interesting factoids on the Gewurztraminer - 20 percent of all grapes planted in the Alsace? I wonder what started the trend? I have never heard the term Rhone filed blend nor the concept of the solarum style - pretty cool. I have never had anything but Beaujolais Nouveau so the last pick is a must-try for me - the real Gamay comment has me intrigued. QOTD. When all this is said and done and you walk away from the wine world, what is the one thing you want to be remembered for? Any thoughts of a legacy, or do you take this day by day? Because if you dont have a master plan, youre fooling the hell out of everyone! Thanks, Gary. Great show.
Great show, Ive been dipping into some Gewurtz from Anderson Valley lately as fall approachesLazy Creek, yum! QOTD. If we could have a glass together, anywhere in the world, and of any wine, where would it be and what wine? Your call.
Nice Show QOTD If you could own any other business besides the Wine Library (and the Jets, of course), what would it be or maybe not own any business at all?
The mixed bag format is comfortable just like having a sales rep drop by the shop! I especially dig this for getting three (or more) different looks in wine, rather than trying to discern between similar bottles. The St. Cosme sounds fantastic! My wife calls that aroma Fruit Poops QOTD. Would you like another beer?
Terrific show, thanks! QOTD. My husband came up with this one. If there were no wine in the world, what could you see yourself doing?(Besides owning the Jets, I would add)
Hey Gary Talking over a glass of wine (maybe on the Thunder Cruise), this would be my question. When my wife and I have our own cooking show, would you be a guest on our show to talk about pairing wine with food? If you say yes Ill hold you to it
Do you still hand sell to customers when you get a chance? Enjoyed that format. Great perspective on how much you enjoyed the wine by showing how much you would buy for your store.
Great show! As usual youve pointed out a few new wines for me to try. QOTD. When are we going to see another cheese episode? Bring back the Everett!!
Question for you?? I love talking old sports while Im drinking wine with my brother and my dadso I would probably ask you a sports Question. How about this Who is the greatest right-handed hitter of all-time? Rogers Hornsby?
QOTD. Id love to know if theres a website or any source that lets you enter a wine find out where in your area its available. Ive seen this on various producers or importers sites, but many dont offer it, and theres no single all in one place. I think it would be great if you did a QA episode, or answered, say, one readers question per episode to share your knowledge!!
Fantastic mix-bag show- Way to give Moulin a Vent the respect it, and other Cru Boujolais the respect it (they) deserve. QOTD. Most exciting up-and-coming wine region of the world, or most up-and coming varietal. For me. REGIONS. Vinsobres, Rhone, FR. Leyda Valley, Chile? Santa Lucia Highlands? VARIETALS. **Austrian St. Laurent Australian Verdelho Austrian Furmint (dry)
Inspiring episode. To long ago since I had the gewurz. Tried some moulin a vent last week and most say that your enthoustiac reaction did not compare with my experience. But then again i have to trust. QOTD Really searching for ways to train my pallet and nose. Any tips ??? Groetjes uit Nederland Classico
Tramin is in Trentino/Alto-Adige, Italy. To your credit it used to be in Austria. QTOD. What wine region do you really want to know more about?
Great show Gary! The mixed bag was fun, especially with the buyers point of view on each bottle. I am on the Gwertz band wagon. Alsace has/is producing some great juice! QOTD. I would ask, What was it like in Russia - What was it like starting in the USA with nothing but the clothes on your back and your family on your arm? The human condition is so fascinating! Please tell some stories on the Cruise!
Youve tasted wines from Greece, Lebanon, Uruguay, Croatia When are you going to taste a wine from Brazil? Cheers!
QOTD - for you - I have often thought about getting into the wine business, but have some concerns. I wouldnt want to go into corporate wine brand management or regional sales/distribution. I also would want to stay in the greater NYC area. What would you recommend about this?
My question for your QOTD is actually twofold. 1 - What was the first wine you ever tasted? 2 - I think everyone who tastes wine has an a-ha moment, where they get it. The moment where they first taste those nuances without being told about them, where they can detect all the inherent elements in the aromatics, etc. When was your a-ha moment? I know youve talked about your origins before, but Im not sure Ive ever heard you talk about this part of your origins.
QOTD. when you and Lizzy go out to a restaurant with a extensive list that impresses you, do you A.] ignore everyone at the table and study the list for half an hour or B.] take a recommendation from either the server or the somm. awesome show today i really enjoyed the format, im big on the alsacion and rhone wines but i think ive had only one cru beaujulais so i will be looking to check out more of that. thanks gary
Have fun on the train trek. I ride them all the time out here in California. Its a great way to relax, see the countryside and enjoy some wine. QOTD - Have you tasted much Pinot Blanc and if you have, what your favorite?
Gary, Question #1. If you could have one guest on Winelibrarytv from pro wrestling past or present, or your favorite NFL star past or present - who would it be and why? Question #2. What were the exact words that came out of your mouth (or inside your head), when your Dad took you down to make ice for the store for the first time?
Great show. QOTD. Whats the wine that, when you have drunk it, made you sit back and bring back the greatest memory of family, love and everything else thats good in this world?
Gary, Ill see you on the Thunder Cruise and ask this question again, but since you asked it for the QOTD, here goes. Since our palates are different and we value different depths of flavors in wines, break down for me what is your favorite flavor profile from your favorite wine, and then I will do the same. See you by April, Karl B.
Gary - Great show! While the guest shows of late have been epic, I still feel the shows in which you break wines down are the most entertaining and informative! With all due respect to your guests, you, and only you, set the bar as far as bringing the Thunder goes! QOTD. Whats next for you as far as Wine Library goes? Youve been instrumental in building the business up to its current size and youve created this wildly entertaining and informative forum (WLTV), and youre even taking it offshore for crying out loud!(the Thunder Cruise, which I unfortunately cannot attend). . . so whats next?
Hey Gary - its been a while! Sorry! Great to see you pump good Beaujolais. Reminds me of a Sylvian Fessy cru bottling I bought a case of 20 years ago that completely blew me away + changed my perceptions about wine probably more than any other single bottle I have ever tasted. Stunning stuff! Keep up the good work!
QOTD. How often do you get a corked wine on the show? Ive never heard you mention it, so you must replace one with a second bottle before taping. What happens when you dont have a replacement bottle?
Great show as usual! And that particular beaujolais may be my wifes dream wine. I hope we can find it in Hawaii. QOTD. If you were to produce one wine bearing your namewhat varietal or blend would you choose, and from where would it be?
HUGE SHOUTOUT to another great show. Im a newbie to winelibrary (about 2 months) and your show is hands down the most educational FUN piece on the web. QOTD. With the slow ecomony and hence slow sales (for some) how would you go about a normal work week different this year than in the past. BTW this is my 2nd year in wine sales and could use any little piece of advice. Thanks
QOTD. Given that sense experience is a subjective phenomenon, why should I listen to anything you say about wine analysis? Your common response is, Dont listen to what I say. However, if I then dont listen to what you say, I will be following your advice of not listening to what you say. Do you think this is an infinite regression or can you think of a way out of this?
Back to the rootsor so it seemed, you were very relaxed and then the shows seem even better. Nice wines as wellIm eager to taste them (although Im off for Australia this Friday and will expand my palate there!) QOTD. I would like to talk to you about your Russian roots (traditional celebrations, habits, )in my opinion, we forget too easily our roots (to fit in, I guess), but there are so many things our kids might enjoy what we enjoyed when we were kidsdont put it aside, but cherish it!
Great wines. QOTD. How do you keep focussed? If I was trying so much wine all of the time, then I would probably get locked into some types. How do you keep an open mind?
QOTD. I guess a question would come to me if we were actually sitting together over a glass of wine. It would depend on the mood as to what the question would be.
Wine has been packaged using bag-in-box technology for many years and this form of wine packaging is proven to have distinct advantages. Unlike with bottles, the consumer can keep wine after opening for up to six weeks and drink it by the glass, economically and conveniently. A 3 litre wine pack is 38% lighter than 4 glass bottles and has 98% filled pallet efficiency (40% better than glass) so there are obvious logistics advantages too. Bag-in-box wine packaging is fully recyclable as are the accessories and bag-in-box is more robust than conventional methods of wine packaging. Rapak is the world's leading supplier of wine packaging, providing bag-in-box packaging and dispensing accessories to the wine industry worldwide. Rapak offers bag and box specifications from 1.5 to 1400 litres, state-of-the-art filling machines and various dispensing options. One of the best aspects of bag-in-box wine packaging is its ability to adapt to any kind of liquid. For example, for the most sensitive rose and quality white wines, Rapak has developed advanced and specialised METPET materials. The filling technology behind Rapak's wine packaging is second to none. For example, the Autokap 1230 fully automatic wine filler is believed to be the fastest and cleanest in Europe. It has a filling rate of sixteen 3 litre bags per minute for each of the two filling heads. For dispensing, Rapak works with sister company Worldwide Dispensers which has developed a range of dispensing fitments to suit every type of wine packaging and beverage.

Henrietta, New York (WSYR-TV) - If you've ever bought a bottle of wine as a gift, the easiest way to present the wine would be in a simple wine gift bag. You'd think the two things go together, but it turns out that the state of New York prohibits wine stores from selling wine gift bags. A liquor store in the Rochester area has been fined $10,000 for selling the bags. No one seems to understand what the law entails, but it’s clear the state will enforce it. At stores like Marketview Liquor in Henrietta, you can buy wine, wine glasses, wine stoppers and corscrews -- but state law says they can’t sell gift bags to put their wine in. Owner Mike Palmeri had no idea the law existed.“I was incredulous, and I took everything down. I stopped doing it, Palmeri says. Now the state doesn't care if wine stores give wine gift bags away, but the moment they try to sell them, it constitutes -- according to the State Liquor Authority -- running a second business, worthy of a $10,000 fine.“I think it's pretty ridiculous. But the state needs money so they're looking for every possible way of getting it, says Palmeri. Palmeri's customers have offered to start a petition to change the law and cancel his fine -- and the law is a pain for them too, because they thought they'd be able to one-stop shop for their wine gifts. Through it all, Palmeri blames himself -- not the state. “Ignorance of the law is no excuse. It's like saying you didn't know what the speed limit was. I violated the statute, he says. State Senator Joe Robach says the Liquor Authority should offer warnings before dropping $10,000 fines on store owners. Palmeri will now try to convince lawmakers like Robach to rewrite the law. In the meantime, it might not make sense to you, but you'll have to buy your wine in one place -- and your wine gift bags in another. Calls to the State Liquor Authority about why the law exists were not returned Monday.

WHEN shopping for a wedding gift it might be more important to know if some couples prefer Sassicaia or Haut-Brion Blanc, rather than if their dinnerware is patterned or plain white. For wine lovers, a special bottle -- or a case for that matter -- makes a welcome gift. But the wine won't last forever, so why not include an accouterment that can be used for many bottles and years to come? If something in crystal suits the newlyweds, consider a classic gift, like stemware that was designed in the early 1900s and is still in production by the Austrian company that originally made it. For the more modern tabletop there are contemporary pieces that work just as well as their predecessors, like chillers and buckets in shiny stainless steel. 1. Eros, a stainless steel Champagne bucket (above, left), is $135 and Eolo, a double-walled stainless steel wine cooler, is $95. Both were designed by Karim Rashid and can be ordered from the Conran Shop, 407 East 59th Street, conran. com or (866) us. 2. A gift of six enticing bottles will pack nicely into the Weekend Wine Bag on Wheels. It is insulated and comes with three freezer packs. $89.95 from wineenthusiast. com or (800) us. 3. Patrician crystal wine glasses, still made by Lobmeyr in Austria, were designed by Josef Hoffmann in 1917. The white wine glass and the red wine glass are each $125. Another Hoffmann design, the nickel-plated pewter wine bottle coaster, created in 1905, is $95. All at Neue Galerie Design Shop, 1048 Fifth Avenue (86th Street), neuegalerie. org or (212) us. 4. Vino Globe, an aerator and server made of glass, can be used for all types of wine. It is $18 from mxyplyzyk. com or (800) us. 5. The Ambassador wine decanter, designed in 1925 and made by Lobmeyr in Austria, is made of very thin-walled crystal. It is $440 at mossonline. com or (866) us. 6. For those who enjoy decanting their favorite wine there is the Swift, a silver-plated wine funnel (with a strainer). It is shaped like a calla lily and costs $40 from Beviamo, 2415 Main Street, Bridgehampton, N. Y., or (631) us. 7. A countertop wine cellar by Cuisinart holds up to 11 bottles at optimum temperature. $199.95 from crateandbarrel. com or (800) us. 8. The Sommelier's Wine Chiller has an internal database of 26 types of wine and can cool or warm a bottle to its proper temperature. It is $100 from brookstone. com or (800) us. 9. The Carl Mertens Wine Thermometer shows whether the temperature of a bottle is within the ideal range for the type of wine listed on the band. It requires no batteries and costs $39.99 from nova68.com or (800) us.
Designer beth fuller sent over one of her new eco-friendly designs- the zipper wine bag. each bag is made from organic fabric and an all-natural dye (wine!). beth designed the collection as a graduate student at pratt this spring with the goal of creating a product that served a dual purpose. the wine bags can be used both to sell wine in retail settings
Can be reused by the consumer. i love the idea of reusing something and taking what would be an imperfection (the wine stains) and incorporating it as part of the overall pattern and style of the bag. you can click here for more information on beths zipper wine bags.
These wine bags are so clever. Love the whole concept and Im always looking for a new way to showcase the usually fairly boring bottle of chardonay that I bring to a party. How fun would one of these be. k
Beth has done a nice job in the creative aspects of here design. I like the open collar and bunched up pleats around the bottle’s neck. I might have bought some of these wine bags if they’d been available just a few weeks ago. I just got some nicely designed bags from winebags. com, these guys seem to be pretty creative too. I recommend Beth approach them with her ideas. Check out the creative wine bags designs at

The next time you carry a gift of wine to a friend, slip the bottle into this clever wine bag, made of linen with an embroidered design which proclaims that We Will Drink No Wine Before It¿s Time¿It¿s Time! The wine bag measures 4¿x13¿.
The original intention of this website was to post inspiring marketing related trends and innovation news from around the world with the hope that a local business would use the insightful content in their own marketing efforts. As a marketing company - it's our free daily gift to ourselves.. and you. So how cool is it that award-winning local wine brand Warwick spotted that 'beer bag', that we posted some time ago and have responded with their own 'wine crate' carrier bag just in time for the busy end of year season. Next time we're in Stellenbosch we'll be stopping over at Warwick to get a couple of bottles of Trilogy '06 and one of these babies. Previously. Beer bag - CherryflavaMore. Warwick gets carried away - Warwick Wine Blog
This is a great idea, or it was when the beer company did it. It would have been nice to see some more thought going into the Warwick version, as opposed to simply copying the idea. That is a common thread with many South African wineries - more of the same when it comes to branding and promotion. Warwick has been an exception to this in the past, with some innovative ideas, which probably gave them the 'bottle' to try this. However in saying that one would think that they would have looked to put their own spin on it.

Wine Doggy Bag FAQs. Many of you have raised questions about the recently passed Wine Doggy Bag provisions. Here are the most common questions we received here in the office at RAMW, and the answers provided by RAMWs General Counsel, Andrew J. Kline. Do I have to use the special wine doggy bags? Or can I just use a regular take away bag stapled closed?
The bag or container must be secured in such a manner that it is visibly apparent if the container has been opened or tampered with. You do not have to use RAMWs designated vendor, but the Wine Doggy Bag meets those requirements. To order from Winedoggyboag. com visit the website or call (800) us. Mention that you are a member of RAMW to receive a member only discount.
If you comply with the law, you are not responsible and the patron may be in violation of the DC open container law.

Unlike our gift and wine bag pattern, these bags do NOT require a buttonhole or casing for the ribbon. The bag is stitched together and hemmed. Then, just attach the ribbon to the outside of the bag (sewn in one place on the back of the bag). Tie the ribbon around the bag. That's it! You can add your own trimmings and create your own look. These make wonderful gifts themselves, or use them to present your gifts in. I have made several of both types of bag, and they have been passed through the family numerous times as they are used to wrap gifts. Supplies Required. Small Bag. 1 yard of 45 fabric will make 3 small bags. Medium Bag. 1.25 yards of 45 fabric will make 3 medium bags. Large Bag. 1.5 yards of 45 fabric will make 3 large bags.

Ribbon, lace, etc. for trim Sewing Supplies. scissors, quilting pins, large sewing ruler, fabric marking pencils, seam ripper, pins hint. quilting pins are easier to use than regular pins. a tupperware box works well as a supply box. Note. all seams are 1/4 inch. Always iron between steps.
Carry your wine in style to the beach, restaurant or dinner party. Made of wetsuit grade neoprene, the byobag has a super strong composition and prevent bottles from clinking or breaking in transit.
Although this wine bag is great for keeping white wine cool, I actually prefer red. On the other hand it's been damn cold in Melbourne recently and the bag has kept my red wine at room temperature which is great! Oh, and it makes it very easy to carry 2 bottles without them clanging together constantly.
This bag is terrific. I ended up purchasing x2 of these as the first one was a gift and then I wanted one for myself. I find the single bag more practical than the double as I will only take one bottle of wine to a restaurant. Having it in the carry bag leaves you hand free to carry other things. Delivery time was exceptional - I had my order the next day and the product is exactly what you seee in the picture. Well Made and a terrific purchase. I am considering purchasing other items from this range.
When I first saw this product I thought about my wine loving cousins back in NY. I am sure they would love it.and I am quite sure they probably already know about it. I am talking about Built NY's Byobag. The Byobag has been designed especially to carry wine bottles. it's good looking, comfortable and protects and insulates the bottles. The bag is made from neoprene and its clever design allows you to serve the wine directly from the bag, by just pulling down the sides. It comes as a one bottle Byobag, available for $14.99, or as a two bottle Byobag for $16.99. A byo lunchbag is also available for $19.99 and it's rather cool looking. All the byo-line products are available at Built NY's site and come in several colors.

Well, I wasn't about to go announcing this anytime soon, but as some recent blog posts have spilled the beans, I should probably make it official. I will be serving as a speaker and moderator for the next Symposium for Professional Wine Writers, which will take place at the Meadowood Resort in Napa Valley on February 20th - 23rd, 2007. I will be joining Karen McNeil and Jerry Shriver as moderators for the three day event, and will be joining a group of extremely distinguished speakers the likes of Eric Asimov, Dan Berger, Michael Bauer, Anthony Dias Blue, Elin McCoy, and more. Needless to say, I was honored to be asked to participate in this event as something more than a participant. I certainly enjoyed myself last year, and learned a lot about many aspects of the wine writing profession that a blogger would never encounter. Tom Wark and several others have made much of my inclusion as a speaker on a list of names made up of some of the top wine writers in the country. I want to avoid all comparison with these folks, who are much more accomplished as writers and much more knowledgeable about wine than I. I do think that Tom and others have latched on to the correct significance of my inclusion. Blogs are now a major force in wine writing no matter how you look at it, and I'm certainly someone who can talk about where they've been and where they are going. Some of the more interesting conversations at the Symposium last year had to do with the changing nature of the craft and the future of wine writing. My selection as moderator and some initial session planning indicates that these topics will be more front-and-center in this year's Symposium. I look forward to bringing my perspectives and experience as a blogger to bear on the discussion, as well as the more professional understanding of Internet trends that my day job requires. I'd like to encourage anyone who is serious about wine writing to attend. Attendance is open to "published editorial wine writers, wine/food writers, wine/travel writers, and editors." It's not clear whether just having a blog qualifies you, but having a high quality one might. I'll be blogging from the Symposium again this year so those who prefer to observe from their armchairs can do so with ease.
I don't want to become the David Foster Wallace of wine bloggers, but I really do want to footnote this whole idea of cats and bags. Where in the heck did this expression come from? Was there a time and place when cats were frequently kept in bags, so that somehow the escape of one could come to be known as a common mistake? And while we're on the subject of cat expressions, why would there ever be one way to skin a cat, let alone multiple ones? Even if this expression never meant to refer to the domesticated variety, why on Earth would it matter that there were multiple ways of separating a dead tiger from its fur? It's mysteries like these that keep me awake at night sometimes.
Alder-- Nice work, congrats-- I thought I'd laud you as well, as it seems to be the theme here. And I agree. this is an especialy distinguished panel. What really strikes me as interesting, though, will be your forays/insights into Internet-centric trends. Can't wait. -EQ
Way to go Alder and well deserved! I subscribe to several wine publications and find them mostly boring. Not Vinography, however, which I read in its entirety click to click. Cheers, Kenny
Whomever wrote the blurb about what "letting the cat out of the bag" means has obviously never owned a cat. I see it as a natural thing. cat's go into bags and hang out, groom themselves, etc. The bag seems to represent something primal in cats and perhaps metaphorically in us. Therefore letting the cat out is to deny it of its wicked bag inhabiting ways. Also, congrats Alder, how can I get invited. I'm an unpaid freelance wine writer us.
Congrats Alder! What a great honor that is most deserved. Hope you will have time to drop in for a celebratory glass of champagne when you are in Napa. =)
Speaking of 'Cats' out of bags' and the link with Wine - Have you seen 'CHAT EN OEUF' that has been released in the UK and Canada. It is an AOC Cotes du Ventoux with a great label design. Seems to be winning the plaudits as a couple of the key wine critics in the UK (Anthony Rose and Robert Jospeh) have written it up with glowing reports. Try this link. Clever stuff!

LIVERMORE, Calif. -- The mass-produced Almaden and Inglenook wines will switch from the familiar three- and four-liter glass jugs to lightweight Bag-in-Box (BIB) packaging. The Wine Group said Wednesday that swapping the glass jugs for BIB packaging would reduce the brands’ carbon footprint by 60 percent and avoid some 11 million pounds of packaging waste. The company bills itself as “the world’s most cost and carbon efficient vintner” for its use of BIB packaging, which it claims has less than half the carbon footprint of bottled wine in terms of energy needed for glass production and transportation. “The positive impact to the environment from making the shift to BIB packages will be huge, simply because the volume of these two brands combined account for 10 million cases of production, David Kent, The Wine Group’s CEO, said in a statement. The company, which recently launched a marketing campaign extolling the environmental benefits of BIB packaging, said switching all bottled wine sold in the U. S. to BIB packaging would save about 941 million tons of glass packaging annually. Glass, however, can be recycled endlessly but is much heavier and expensive to transport. The Wine Group already produces the boxed wine Franzia, as well as other budget wines such as Concannon, Glen Ellen and Big House. It bought Almaden and Inglenook from Constellation Wines in February, and is now the second largest wine producer by volume.

Supersize has arrived in the Washington wine industry. More big bottles and bag-in-the-box offerings are popping up on store shelves. Generally, the 1.5-liter bottles and the bag-in-the-box are lower-end, but the quality still is high. And more premium wines are coming out in the double-size bottles. Why? The wine industry, including competitors from California, Italy and Australia, are flooding the market with such products. Washington, if it hopes to grow its market share at home and outside the state, must keep up. And there is the wow factor when a host opens a magnum of, say, Pepperbridge Cabernet Sauvignon or an award-winning Barnard Griffin cab. Heck, folks around my summer barbecues say wow when I open a big bottle of $10 Stimson Lane Merlot to go with the burgers. Probably the best-known Washington 1.5-liter bottling is Stimson Lane, a branch of Chateau Ste. Michelle Estates launched in 2002. You can find Stimson Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay in stores for as little as $9 to $11 a bottle. Now sister winery Columbia Crest is offering a lineup of its own with not only Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay, but Syrah and its popular Merlot/Cabernet blend as well. A visit last week to a Tri-City supermarket that specializes in wine showed about one-third of the shelf space was taken by large-format bottles, mainly from California. And Washington was making a show on the shelves. Alas, the Washington bag-in-the-box wines, which usually come in the three-liter size, the equivalent of four bottles, are hard to find and generally only readily available from the few wineries that offer them. Most established Washington wineries make 1.5-liter and larger-bottle wines, but you generally have to go to the winery or order them online. Lynda Eller, communications manager for Ste. Michelle, said since offering the large bottles in 2002, the Stimson Lane label has created a loyal following for its 170,000 cases a year.People use these large bottles for a backyard barbecue with friends, because they like the quality and the price, Eller said. Marie Eve Gilla, winemaker at Forgeron in Walla Walla, who makes a 1.5-liter bottle of Merlot, said her wine often is purchased as a gift or by restaurants that pour it by the glass. Coke Roth, whose family has been in the wine business for a half-century, said large bottles age better than the traditional regular bottles because there is more wine to handle the aging factors, which mostly come from constant contact with the cork. Heres a brief look at some of the current big-bottle and bagged offerings.Powers 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley three liter bag-in-the-box, $22 An easy-drinking, inexpensive red that has plum and berry flavors and is very smooth. Great with hamburgers and pizza. And because the bag doesnt let any air get in, this wine can last a few weeks on the kitchen counter. Stimson Lane 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, $9-$11 Holy cow! How can an inexpensive wine be so good? Great oak and berry aromas with supple tannins and expressive berry flavors. Stimson Lane 2004 Merlot, Columbia Valley, $9-$11 Think coffee and cherries when sniffing this dandy. Its smooth and even elegant, with fruit throughout. Columbia Crest 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon, $11-$13 Lovely sweet berry aromas and flavors with a smooth, juicy finish. Terra Blanca 2002 Syrah, Columbia Valley, $55 Toasty oak greets you, followed by tart cherries and coffee with some gripping tannins. Forgeron Cellars 2002 Merlot, Columbia Valley, $57 Lush dark chocolate along with blackberries are the hallmark of this big, expressive red. Barnard Griffin 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley $40 This was a gold-medal winner, and its hard to find a cab better than this without paying lots more. Rich, full-bodied and complex. Oak, chocolate and expressive berries throughout. Stimson Lane 2003 Chardonnay, Columbia Valley, $9-$11 Smoky oak and ripe pineapple aromas lead to fresh tropical fruit flavors, proof that big bottle white wines can age gracefully. Columbia Crest 2005 Chardonnay, Columbia Valley, $11-$13 Nice oak with a sweet entry to apples, pineapple and even some grapefruit.

I would check with your state's Liquor Authority on that one. But here's some info. YORK – A WINEDOGGYBAG STATE – Approved by State Liquor AuthoritySLA 588 allows the removal of one partially consumed bottle of wine if (i) the restaurant has the appropriate wine or liquor license, (ii) the bottle of wine is purchased in connection with a full course meal, (iii) the patron consumes a portion of the wine with the meal, (iv) the wine is securely resealed, placed in a one-time-use tamper-proof transparent bag which is securely sealed and, (v) a dated receipt for the full course meal and wine is provided to the patron. However, in some additional Googling, I found this article from 2004. down at the above link, it says. However, just because it's legal to doggie-bag that Chianti, doesn't mean every restaurant automatically allows it. It's usually voluntary for the restaurant to participate, and some opt out amid concerns they could be liable if a driver toting wine home had a drinking-related accident. In addition, in some states, the rules vary by city or county. To avoid misunderstandings at the end of the meal, consumers should ask a restaurant about its policy before ordering. Some states, including Texas, Connecticut, North Carolina and Utah, require restaurants to offer the doggie-bag option. But even some of these laws don't explicitly say that restaurants will be punished if they don't allow it. So - in NY State, perhaps it's legal for the restaurant not to allow you to take it with you. And scroll down a bit further, and this very restaurant is quoted as not allowing patrons to take the unfinished wine home! On a visit to Locanda Vini and Olli, an Italian restaurant in Brooklyn on Sept. 10 - one day after the New York state doggie-bag law took effect - the restaurant told a group of diners they couldn't take home wine leftovers. Catherine de Zagon, a co-owner, says that her attorney advised her not to let customers take out wine until October since the police might not be aware of the change in law. She adds that, since New York law doesn't require restaurants to allow doggie-bags for wine, she may continue to forbid them.
It can't be gotten into in transit if it's in the trunk, well, at least under normal circumstances. My cousin (in NY) threw a bridal shower a few years ago and was told she couldn't take out the opened wine bottles from the 15 or so tables, even though she had paid for them. We packed 'em in the trunk and took our chances.
But how is the restaurant supposed to ensure that the person puts it in the trunk? That's how the law is (poorly) written. As for you cousin taking 15 bottles- the law says one will be allowed. it would seem that if you had 15 part bottles still open, you ordered way too much.
Here in TX you can buy drive thru daquiris. All they do is put a piece of tape across straw hole that can't be removed (sure) and hand you a straw. I suppose the same might done here for wine. Sorry to be a little off topic.
The law got changed in Florida about a year or so ago and we are now allowed to take leftover wine home with the cork back in.
As others have said, laws vary by jurisdiction, but the logic behind changing the laws to allow diners to take their unfinished wine home is to reduce the incidence of people driving over the limit because they felt obligated to finish their wine when dining out. If I were in their shoes I'd consider that I'd be less responsible for you illegally drinking your leftover wine while driving home that I would be for overserving if you decided to rapidly consume the balance of your wine because I refused to let you take it home (not that I'm suggesting you'd do either of these things).
Maryland is decided by juristiction(county).The restaurant re-corks, places the bottle in a bag, adds a staple or two. This is also done in catering sample/taste situations. You own the wine. Both you and the restaurant own a piece of the DUI. BUT, if they will gladly pour, even over pour, some common sense needs to prevail. I NEVER LEAVE WINE, doesn't say we drank it. I will pour it out, my perogative. You may not be surprised how often policy gets flexible where the law permits when you insist on a sink or ? for disposal.

At a winery south of Melbourne, something strange is afoot. This merlot looks very good, it's still very, very wet on the cap, hasn't started rising into the chimney yet, whereas this one here has. And then if you look at the cabernet, the cabernet's going berserk. That's rising above the chimney. I suppose that's the mysteries of it all," Andrew Hickinbotham said. Indeed, fermenting grapes into wine is an ancient human pursuit, replete with romance, synonymous with alcoholic pleasure. And yes, shrouded in mystery. Are these polythene pipes, gurgling as crimson as a severed artery, the future face of wine making? The Hickinbotham family hope so and many others genuinely think so. It has wine purists making their own gurgling noises. God forbid, no traditional oak barrels are used. Not even the more economical stainless steel vat. Instead, a three-layered polymer bag that's permeable to oxygen. But the results are startling. The fermenter bag is producing a red wine measurably redder and softer on the palate than conventional methods. Being a red wine the fermentation occurs with the skins because that's where the colour is. The skins have to be in contact with the fermenting juice because the alcohol is what extracts the colour from the skins. It's done manually in many wineries in Australia, but by using the bags we can actually hold the skins in contact with that juice. These plastic bags optimise the contact of the grape skins to the juice below, maximising flavour and colour, Andrew said. It still requires further developmental work, but its potential is breathtaking. "Inside this chimney there's another tube that goes down inside this cap. We don't know the best size for that inner tube for fermenting tube to pass up, there's just so many combinations, permutations, Andrew said. The fermenter bag can be warmed or chilled using water. It's totally portable, for example wine could be fermented in transit, and it offers enormous labour savings for smaller wineries. In theory anyone can now make wine in their own backyard.We estimate that the cost of production is about seven per cent of what conventional winemaking costs. I think they worked it out to be about 17 cents a litre versus the cost of a barrel is about $1,300 per barrel, which is equivalent to about $6 per litre of wine, so there is obviously a very big cost-saving, Terryn Hickinbotham said. The fermenter bag has just been launched on the world market."We've had incredibly good response with the bag, we've done trials in California, Chila, South Africa and Portugal and since the inception of the red fermenter bag last year, we've now brought in a whole family of bags, we've got a white wine fermentation bag, a wine maturation bag and a storage bag," Andrew said. There's a few people more qualified to make that observation. If the road to hell to is paved with good intentions, then the inventors path is potted with pitfalls. So far Andrew Hickinbotham has had virtually no Federal Government assistance. "It's incredibly frustrating in that if we don't do something about it, Australias going to lose this technology, the Americans are hot on our heels doing a similar thing, we've got to now turnaround and protect our intellectual property. In one respect this story is eerily similar to one in 1986.Unfortunately my brother developed the cab mac and he took it to the stage where it became a joint venture with a French-based company and really the French-based company bought into that just really to shelve it, it was impacting so heavily on the French growers. And there was a problem with patent infringement on that cab mac? Oh yes, the French used it that year, we know that. And as a small family company with very limited resources we couldn't do anything about it, Ian Hickinbotham said. But worse was to come. They drink a remarkable new wine in memory of a remarkable young winemaker. It's a wake that's taken a year to organise. In the glasses, cab mac, the drink now a red style that Stephen Hickinbotham pioneered. But the young innovator didn't live to see his technique adopted worldwide as it now has been. A light aircraft clipped the hills behind Cairns in September last year and Stephen Hickinbotham was one of those killed. He was always on the go, always tinkering, always saying why? Why not, why can't we, why shouldn't we? A research trust in Stephens memory was set up by Sarah Goff and wine writer Mark Shield. Last night a wine auction was held to finance the trust. Many who attended, like Derryn Hinch, had donated rare and valuable lots from their own collections. At the time of course it was devastating to our family I think it was devastating to the Australian wine industry. Stephen was only 30 but already he was making quite an impression on the whole wine industry, Andrew Hickinbotham said.They all have that flair for thinking laterally and I think you only need to speak to Ian to see that his way of thinking about a problem takes a totally different track to most people's thought processes. He really does think laterally about most problems and Andrew has that same ability and Stephen had that as well, Terryn said. The fermenter bag was inspired by Stephens legacy. "It's something we've worked on since Stephens invention of the carbonic maceration system and it's just a natural progression on from there, Terryn Hickinbotham said. After Stephens death, the Hickinbothams relocated their winery from Geelong, starting from scratch on the Mornington peninsula, where the cooling influence of the southern ocean ideally suits pinot noir wine production now winning acclaim as amongst the world's best. The winery is built totally from re-cycled materials the vineyard is also run on environmentally friendly practices and a flourishing tourist trade passes their cellar door. Like Stephen, Andrew Hickinbotham studied wine making in France, continuing an illustrious family dynasty of winemakers. It began with his grandfather, Old Hick, an analytical chemist who started the wine course at Roseworthy College South Australia, the alma mater of Australias elite winemakers. His son Ian, now an international wine writer and critic, pioneered the now world famous Coonawarra region of South Australia, introduced fruit wines to the Australian palate in the 1960's and achieved industry renown as a winemaker and innovator. But few realise his pivotal role in developing the table cask, the so-called 'bag in the box". Ian and a man named Malpas from a plastics company jointly developed 17 prototype airtight cask taps. This is a fallacy, we did not invent the bag in the box, it was used in Europe even for vinegar for at least 20 years before we did, Ian Hickinbotham said. But Ian Hickinbotham vision perfected the technology. He did a lot of the early work on the cask but at the time he was working for Penfold's and as such the intellectual property was that of Penfolds. Unfortunately Penfold's didn't grab the horse by the reins and run with it. But Wynns did and the rest is history. Wynn's made an enormous amount of money from the bag in the box, Andrew said. Worldwide, the cask made wine accessible and affordable to a new mass market. Until a decade ago cask wines still accounted for 70 per cent of Australian wines sales. I don't think you can ever take away the romance of an oak barrel and it certainly adds its own character, we still do oak fermentation of our chardonnay to give it particular characters that we're looking for but the aromatic varieties, we grow taminga, sauvignon blanc, anything you can ferment in a stainless steel tank, you can easily ferment in a fermenter bag and get the same sort of characters, Andrew said.People still think of the romance of the barrel and the big musty caves where they store all the wine, putting something in plastic, they lose that romance and I think that's one of the big problems with the fermenter bag technology, there's no great romance in it, but it's just a great invention that works and it takes a lot of labour out of the whole winemaking process.

By Evan Dawson, Finger Lakes CorrespondentI do not intend to make a cabernet out of a concord here, but this is ridiculous. And its a microcosm of the dysfunction that has rotted this state for years. The owner of one of western New Yorks largest wine and liquor stores may be fined $10,000 by the New York State Liquor Authority because he had the audacity to sell wine gift bags to his customers who were buying, you know,
Heres the short version. The law is written to enumerate the various things that a wine or liquor store is permitted to sell. Like most stores, Marketview Liquor in Henrietta, NY sells wine, wine glasses, wine stoppers, and corkscrews. Thats all just fine. But because the law does not specifically say that such stores can sell wine gift bags, the sale of such decorative bags must be punished. It does not matter if the law inconveniences customers who had hoped to do their holiday wine shopping in one location -- they can go to the grocery store if they want a gift bag. Whats the reason for this? I spoke to several NY state senators today who told me that the law was written long before stores were selling gift bags. Now, according to Senator Joe Robach (R-Rochester), the SLA is getting too aggressive in going after the vicious offenders of the gift bag rule. Robach would like to see the Authority issue warnings while reconsidering the laws merits or, as the case may be, demerits. But several state lawmakers asked me not to use their name when they explained that they believethis whole thing is about liquor stores vs. grocery stores. They said that lawmakers knew they had upset grocery stores by preventing wine sales on their premises, so they disallowed the sale of some wine accessories in liquor stores (wine-themed magnets is another. Seriously.) The bottom line is, well, the bottom line. no one seemed to think the SLA would enforce these rules, but the state needs cash. And heres what burns Mike Palmeri, who owns Marketview Liquor. According to documents he showed me today, the SLA sent inspectors in to his store back in June. Mike had no idea (and also says he had no idea he was not permitted to sell wine gift bags). But instead of informing Mike that he was being investigated, they kept the case quiet, allowing Palmeri to place an order of $25,000 worth of gift bags, most of which he expected to sell around Christmas. The SLA whacked him the first week of December -- so hes out the fine and his inventory costs. I guess I should have known the law, he told me. I guess I should not have assumed I could sell these little gift bags for a buck or two apiece. Its my responsibility to know that. But now Im going to do everything I can to get this law changed. I asked Michael Smith of the SLA to help me understand why the law prohibits selling wine gift bags in wine stores, and he replied that its up to SLA to enforce the laws -- any other questions should go to the legislature. In other words, it might make not a shred of sense, but the state is coming after your store if you dare to sell pretty little wine gift bags. Just because a law is bad for customers and for business does not mean its bad for lawmakers.
