 -=> Quoting Burton Ford to Glen Jamieson <=-

Greetings, Burt,
 
 gj-> I have read that, largely as result of the banning of glass
 gj-> projectiles - er - bottles at UK sporting events, Sainsbury's 
 gj-> is trialing the packaging of Australian and New Zealand wine 
 gj-> in PET bottles.  

 BF> The plastic bottles should still catch the players attention when 
 BF> hit on the head ... those empty bottles make a satisfactory 
 BF> sounding BONK when they hit on one's head. 

As they are lighter, like Cocola bottles, they probably would not carry
as far.  Certainly if I was a player I would prefer the plastic.
 
 gj-> These originated from Reynella, in South Australia, so it is 
 gj-> apparent that SA once more leads the world in wine packaging
 gj-> ....  [Did I write that, or is someone playing tricks with my 
 gj-> brain?  Kevin, stop it!]

 BF> Now Glen, it's an easy job, don't pick on Kevin.  Anyone could have
 BF> done it.

I know, but he sets himself up for being picked on.

Today I introduced him to another form of wine package - the one litre
screw-top plastic/cardboard carton.  Rather like a milk carton in size
and character, but with a screw-top on one side of the top.  A good
size for sharing with a friend for a meal.  This one contained Long
Flat Cabernet Merlot 2005, from New South Wales.  Quite reasonable for
$7.95.
