Single-Serving Wine Glasses

I think you meant to say it combines the convenience of a bottle of fine wine with the classiness of a drink pouch.

The convenience factor is cool, but I don't like the idea of throwing away all that packaging. It seems a little wasteful. Maybe they could find a way to improve upon the idea that it's a little greener, like making the stem and base of the glass from recycled and biodegradable cardboard and only the bowl of the glass in plastic?

But why???? Why add to the trash pile?

Why does the man deserve to be called the "inventor"?

Wine already is sold in a boxes... think people, think!

That would be cool for airplane service. Juice cup, water cup and now wine cup.

I don't want to think about the amount of plastic waste in the name of convenience that this will bring... but wine in a carton. That won't do for classy, right?

Much classier than wine in a box, Gauldar ;)

those don't look like they'll spill everytime you try and open one...

Why not just sell it in a cool little pouch with a puncture straw, like Capri Sun.

I've always wondered how often Dragon's Den gets it wrong and disses a money-maker. Not that I think the wine idea is any good due to packaging waste.

Side note for the wine lovers: There are some excellent wines available in boxes now. They're fantastically cheap, as well; glass bottles make up a surprisingly large portion of the cost of wine. Here's one example; I've tried their cabernet and loved it: http://www.blackboxwines.com/

I could see this extremely useful for weddings or other up-casual social gatherings.

Fast drink to match fast food.

This lacks so much civility, but well, I live between Alsace and Burgundy.

but this exists in EVERY airport in europe... it's been done before too many times.

I think this would be great for parties. I've had to open whole bottles for people who wanted red wine when everyone else was drinking mixed drinks and beer. I hate dry red wine and never finished off the bottle, think of the waste there.

If this is made with glass and not plastic waste would not be an issue. And there is nothing wrong with wine in a box. It's cheap and convenient and does not taste bad at all.

james Nash did not invent the concept, it was already used in france for years, by the company www.quartvin.com

I tried a white glass of the Froglet and it smelled like rotten eggs

Great concept, PET glass is recyclable, unlike many other inventions. Georges is absolutely right. The real inventor is Pascal Carvin from France. He is the one who started working on this technology about 10 years ago and it allows to preserve wine for up to 12 months. Initially it was not plastic but real glass. James Nash used a yogurt machine, which was modified to package the wine glasses. However nobody expects to have an expiration date of 12 months for yogurt…

A) Maximum shelf life for Italian Job wine in “tulips” from Wine Innovations is 4 months.
B) Wine is extremely poor quality that includes, red and rose as well. Consumers that pay more than 2£ per goblet do not realize that the actual cost of the wine is less than 0.10 £ (I am talking about Italian Job)
C) Italian Job wine is transported from Italy and then packaged in UK by InterContinentalBrands company. Hardly to do anything with James Nash and Wine Innovations besides plastic glass production.

I spent a few days with Pascal last week. Saw the machine and tasted French wines that are packaged in the French PET glass. Technology is real, patents are global, wine is excellent and inventor is real.
