Yippee, it's the flat wine bottle delivered through your letterbox

We have had wine in the bag, wine in a tin, wine in a tetra pack and wine in a small plastic bottle on a plane. Now we have got wine in a  flat plastic bottle - it's more than cool it's hip.

 All of these wine delivery methods have got one thing in common; the wine is not exactly Chateau Latour or thereabouts.

Never mind, these wines can be posted through the letterbox and will be available for delivery by drone. They are fully recyclable: every piece. Mind you, so are conventional wine bottles. The bottles are sterile and non-toxic and guaranteed not to affect your fertility - evidence please. They are made of virgin PET that will not compete with a castrated cat.

They are advertised as environmentally friendly which reduces their carbon footprint. These bottles pick themselves up from the ground when discarded at a picnic and recycle themselves.

How romantic that they fit in with today's modern PR lifestyle. You can romantically open a bottle of flat pack wine to impress your lover over a deliveroo Beef bourguignon. Be careful though, not to knock over the unstable "Bordeaux bottle shaped" flat pack of red burgundy; your lover might not be too impressed. Ardour could be suppressed. It might be the only bottle of wine you've got - heaven forbid.

You might be better off decanting your wine into a crystal glass carafe. Your wine snob potential life partner might then be convinced that they're drinking Chambertin rather than cheap Merlot plonk from Chile. They might even be convinced that you cooked the Beef bourguignon yourself - just hide the bin.

In all seriousness this could be a good idea and I might try a bottle or two when I have a barbecue. However, I shall not open a bottle of this type of plonk at home with my wife: I shall stick to tradition and still be able to recycle the bottle. I'll be cooking my own Boeuf bourguignon and serving Chambertin when I can afford it.
