ON THE SURFACE, it looked like your usual wine-

We had been summoned to one of the trendy places, all brass and glass and wicker, and there was a generous spread of beautiful hors d'oeuvres plus _ bot- tomless jugs of wine. A large group of people stood availing themselves of all these amenities.

But the wine was distinctly pedestrian, without any pretences to greatness. It was either red or white, as wine usually is, and it was served in a wine glass, but it boasted no pedigree and confessedly came from a mixed ancestry, being what is known as “blended” in the trade.

We hadn't been invited in order to praise it. We on a different mission, to help. launch a packaging concept.

The reinforced carton with the fold-over top, so familiar to you now as a container for various juices as well as milk that has an extended life expectancy, is replacing the expensive, and breakable, corked bottle.

character and has a shelf life of over a year. It also affords a price advantage of up to twelve percent, and if you drop it, you won't cut your feet.

A short video program showed us how six of the litres packed neatly into a brief-case, how four of same would fit your picnic-basket, and that the preparedness- first shopper could easily accomodate a few of the little ones in her handbag. Does the Casabello company know something we don’t? Are the police giving up their Sunday excursions that lead them to tippling pic- nicers whose beer and wine they then dump out on to the grass, alas?

There was a lot of em- phasis on this picnic angle, (including the reminder that you no longer needed to bring the corkscrew to the park) which was anomolous in this province which condemns public drinking. Another thing - we are all accustomed to displays of this type of package in the supermarket juice and dairy sections, it would not be surprising to see similar displays on plonk. Are the corner stores going to carry beer and wine? Does the vintner have a crystal ball?
