3 Headed Jack Rabbit, Draught Wine
Alan Kropf / Wednesday, October 22, 2008
Word on the street is that Constellation Wines has released a draft wine fountain to promote its Jack Rabbit Wine. As far as I can tell this is a UK phenomenon…crazy Brits. Apparently, “draught wine is currently growing by 5%”. This new draught dispenses three varietals of wine: Chardonnay, Merlot, and White Zinfandel…bleh. I want a wine draught that dispenses Barolo, Sauternes, and Oregon Pinot.
I’m not convinced that there is a future in draught wine. The bottle is such a part of the experience that to lose it would fundamentally change the experience of drinking wine. It will be interesting to see if this takes off…
Where has all of the romance gone with wine??
Do you have to drink this wine through a straw, too?
