Wine boxes are commonly seen everywhere, but here in Hong Kong, they mainly come from Australia. In France supermarkets sell all sorts of these wine bags (some comes in boxes enclosing the bags too). Having drunk different wine boxes from Australia, we decided to try a bag of Bordeaux from the French supermarkets. The brand of the bag is one which I have seen in supermarkets here in HK, but only in bottles, It's not visible from this picture, but there is a note (in French) that the quality of the wine is assured for 2 months after opening (better than Best Before or Expiry Dates, and more relevant as the wine only starts oxidising after opening). The tap was sealed with a foil tab. As for the wine, it was a deep ruby, with a sweet acid fruity nose. The palate was markedly soft with the same sweet acid and fruit elements, with an acid backbone spiced up with a smidgeon of tannins.
