Expert's verdict:7/10



?The Tetra Pak packaging concept for light wine has been talked about for some time and I am impressed with the presentation of this product. The liquid in the carton is of a high quality. Full marks to Bottle Green for the innovation. This is true convenience in the wine category. Coupled with the environmentally-friendly packaging concept, I am sure the brand will prove to be successful. At £5.99 we will have to wait and see just how successful it will be.

Consumer's verdict7/10



?I think this has great shelf stand out because it looks so different to a bottle so I would pick it up and look at it. It felt slightly odd pouring wine from a carton and it wasn't easy. The wine was enjoyable and fruity. You get 33% more wine for your money compared with a standard bottle and I was tempted to drink more than I should! I would buy this because the packaging is more environmentally-friendly than standard wine in a glass bottle.

There are currently no UK stockists for the brand's Sparkling Chardonnay, though there are marketing and promotional plans in the pipeline. The wine's target market will be experimental enthusiasts, said the company.
