Funny bottles of wine. I am sure that behind that is some vague idea of differentiation and attracting attention. Alas, in my case, it serves as a worthy blog fodder and basis for some snarky remarks about tackiness of it all.
Perhaps the content would redeem the packaging but I never got so far, I prefer to stick with what I know, which is wine ’served’ straight from a barrel, into a plastic bottle that you have to bring with you. I had passable red (of Slovak grape variety called Blue Franc, apparently nothing to do with Caberent Franc in the West) for a princely sum of £1 a litre! On the other hand, go to the main supermarket in the centre, which is Tesco, and a bottle of Tokaj can be steep.
