grapefruite:

Beautiful concept!  Shipping via sailboat makes sense and is a great idea for many items, in this case - wine from France to Ireland.  The shipping company CTMV (Compagnie de Transport Maritime a la Voile) estimates the carbon dioxide emissions to be seven times less than a container ship plying the same route.  Look for the ‘Carried by sailing ship’ label on bottles… I wonder if you could travel on the boats for free if you helped crew the sails (or clean the heads).

And in related sustainable wine news, we’re waiting with our wineglasses ready for (more) boxed wine to make it to Brooklyn!
