How do you like your wine presented? Wine in a bottle, can, box or bag? Does it bother you? After a chat about Wine Paris and Raw we move on to discuss what can be quite a controversial - or should we say emotional? - topic would you believe.

There are many choices out there so what should you choose and why? From ease of use to sustainability in the wine world we taste, tease and weigh up the pros and cons of different packaging for wine.
