It might not be everyone's idea of proper wine serving and etiquette yet Froglet Single Serve 'Cup-A-Wine' by James Nash has been a retail success since Marks & Spencer started selling it.
As you can see from photo above, in that concept glass is the bottle.
Glass is a plastic one, not perfect for our 'green' credentials.
Fake plastic fish wrote that In Hell, they drink Le Froglet wine in individual plastic wine glasses (June 16).
Sealed top brings to mind yogurts rather than wine.
As for how the wine tastes in its review of Froglet 5 Magazine quotes an anonymous wine blogger take:
“It was horrendous. Not balanced at all. Very rough on the palate, not helped by the (abrasive) glass. I took a couple of sips and threw it down the sink. It is hands down the worst ever glass of wine I have ever drunk.”
Even with all its negatives, the format might be appealing for outdoors events.
Since this 'innovation' generated a good amount of buzz in June 2010 (I am late to the party) has anyone emulated it while sourcing good juice?
Not for purists!
>>Even with all its negatives, the format might be appealing for outdoors events.<< On the other hand, reusable stainless steel is safe for outdoor events as well as being non-disposable and green. Klean Kanteen makes a reusable wine karafe. I took a stainless steel wine "glass" into an outdoor concert venue and enjoyed great wine in my own reusable container: http://fakeplasticfish.com/2009/08/music-festival-dilemma/

The concept of Ready to Drink glasses of wine is not new.
It has been invented 10 years ago by a french entrepeneur. 1/4Vin company have several patents on glasses.

Plastic can be recycled and do not broke, so you can carry your glass everywhere (like to drink with your sandwich at noon)
You can also find in the USA the brand Copa di Vino (www.copadivino.com) that distributes sealed glasses.
And in New-Zealand, the brand Soulo (www.soulo.co.nz)
