Yellow + Blue = Green (Wine)

Wine lovers can now drink their wine and save the planet at the same time! Yellow + Blue Wines currently offers four organically grown wines available in 1 liter Tetra Paks which are made of 75% paper harvested from responsibly harvested forests. Tetra Paks hold 1 liter so you are getting two glasses more than in a 750 ml glass bottle.

And what about the wines? T in Tel Aviv hasn’t tasted them but The Wine Curmudgeon writes, “Yellow + Blue is a $10 Hall of Fame candidate that delivers more than $10 worth of wine. It has well-dibe tabbusm something that’s rare in cheap Malbec, and the fruit isn’t so over the top that it covers everything else up….”. Food and Wine Magazine writes, “Inviting blackberry fruit and a peppery finish are the hallmarks of this eco-friendly Malbec, which is grown organically and packaged in low-carabon footprint one liter Tetra Paks”.

The wines are available all over the U.S. including Venakado and Monsieur Marcel in Los Angeles, Wine Geeks in Armonk and Cabrini Wines in New York City. (Please advise if you find boxed wine in Israel!)

Meanwhile, as college students head back to their dorms let us pay homage to the 5 liter boxes of Almaden and 3 liter boxes of Blue Nun Riesling.
