…or you could make your own wine…!

Well, I thought I knew quite a bit about wine, until I read this! Never knew about the cork problem, and always wondered why cork would taint wine – thanks! My first search in a local grocery store w/a super wine selection yielded only one wine w/no wrapper around the top, and the cork seemed to be of the plastic variety, but I’m not giving up. With so many local wineries in my area, I’m bound to find one practicing a more enviro-friendly packaging. At least I’ll have fun visiting and tasting… :) And the practice of BYOB and refilling jugs of wine is quite common in a lot of rural wine regions in Europe. Nice to see this idea taking hold here in the US and I hope it spreads.

I love the way you wrote this blog entry!

I don’t live in the Bay Area nor do I even drink wine more than perhaps once a year. Yet, I read every word of your article and felt both inspired and enthusiastic towards plastic-free living once again.

It can be challenging and frustrating. In this article you reminded me about two things:
1) Plastic-free living is fun.
2) Finding joy in small gestures is worthwhile.

Thank you Beth!
