Unusual Finds

Paid a visit earlier to the supermarket with the aim of trying to find an interesting beverage to bring to a friend's party.  Look what I've found.

1) Pineapple Beer

2) Wine in a carton

Anyone ever tried the pineapple beer?  However cute and sweet it might sound, I have absolutely no faith how that concoction of the fruit juice + some shandy (I guess) can bring to a party so I checked out with the latter item. 

It was my first foray into the exciting world of - carton-ed wine - and for the very mundane me, this was actually quite a daring move.  The aim was to find something interesting right?  There we go.

The Pinot Grigio turned out rather fine to our surprise.  It smelled like wine, tasted like one and to be honest, the nose matched exactly with the description on the carton which says “has rich aromas of tropical fruit and citrus which perfectly complement its light, crisp flavours of pears and peaches."

Bravo.


With the 100%-recyclable carton, unbleached and printed with soy-based inks, we all felt a bit environmentally friendly after the party as well.  Bravo some more!

Next time you need to carry a decent drink with you that is portable and shatterproof - this could be it.
