Sipping wine through a straw

First screw caps. Now sippy boxes?

Could you imagine drinking wine from a juice box?

Cordier Mestrezat Grands Crus, whose top-end wines can sell for about $3,300 a bottle, is the first high-end wine producer from Bordeaux -- the region best known for its prestigious and pricey red wines -- to put wine in a box. It now will sell an 8.5 ounce carton that comes with a special straw with four holes, designed to spray the wine into the mouth. Check out the story today in The Wall Street Journal.

I've liked the mini cans of Sofia sparkling wine - they're pink and come with a straw - so sippy boxes aren't as far-fetched as it sounds.
