I encountered these wine tubes during the recent visit to Bordeaux. The upper photo was seen in a wine shop doing double duty as a tasting station for Chateau Lamothe (Despujols). The lower of the two pictures was actually taken at Chateau Guiraud and contains their own 2002 vintage. The volume of 100 mls is the maximum you can take for a liquid container on board an aircraft and it is equivalent to a good glass. Of course they are very much gimmicks, and is actually expensive compared to a normal bottle, but then I have encountered Tokay Essencia being sold in 100 ml bottles many years before - in their case (with residual sugars well above 500g/L) one 100 ml container is what a small dinner party might consume at the end of a nice meal.
