Or do they just think the Japanese and Americans will do this. I would LOVE to know if the French actually drink their wine out of plastic.

When I asked the person presenting why it was eco-friendly - he said "well you can fit far more flattened tetrapaks in a lorry than you can bottles. (Yes, if people actually save them somewhere, because they can't be recycled, I thought). Then I asked him about packaging wine, in something that looked like a juice carton. Did he have a problem with that? Given that there are lots of teenagers already binge drinking on alcohol. "It wasn't part of our brief to consider social issues" he said. Does anyone have a conscience around here, or is it just me?
