“Vendange

Another new entry onto LCBO shelves was a line of two "Vendange" wines in 500 ml Tetra Prisma packages by New York-based Constellation Wines. Both wines, a California Shiraz and California Chardonnay, have already been selling well in the US and Alberta. They carry a $6.95 price tag at the LCBO.



"The 500 ml size is perfect for people on the go and those who want to keep glass away from their recreational areas," said Chris Churchill, President of Churchill Cellars, the promotional agent for Vendange. "Vendange wines are of outstanding quality, and the 500 ml option is an attractive size for trial and impulse purchase. They're particularly ideal for singles, seniors, and individuals who like to consume wine in more moderate amounts. Anyone who cooks with wine will love the convenience of the resealable Tetra Prisma package closure."

Tetra Pak President Evelyn Watson said Tetra Pak packages have proven themselves time and again to be well suited to wine. "Studies conducted at European institutions show that they are just as good if not better in some aspects as glass bottles in preserving the flavour and quality aspects of wine," she said. "Last year, our customers packed 1.6 billion litres of wine in Tetra Pak cartons around the world. The cartons are light weight and easy to carry, they pour well, won't shatter so they're very safe, and they can be recycled so they are environmentally favourable–all concepts embodied in our motto "protects what's good."

A further positive point that makes Tetra Pak cartons unique from an environmental perspective is that the majority (75%) of the raw material used to make them comes from wood, a renewable resource. The paper fibre used for both French Rabbit and Vendange wines originates in Scandinavian forests where, thanks to replanting programs in place for many decades, more new wood grows each year than is cut down.”

“isn't Vendange one of those "cheap" wines? I would like to see Fetzer or Kendall-Jackson or some of the higher end wineries use this kind of packaging. ...or Coppola ...or Valley of the Moon ...or Ecco Domini ...or Stag's Leap ...MMMMMMMM,wine...

“from above....

. "Last year, our customers packed 1.6 billion litres of wine in Tetra Pak cartons around the world.

Gotta be a few high end wines out there....”

“Nice idea for a solo hike, but we'll probably continue to pack a full bottle & a corkscrew, and our Lexan wine glasses...just ask lizs, she got some of our leftovers at Yellow River State Forest, a couple of years ago.”
