Wine-in-box concours today

325 different wines in containers other than bottles, ie mainly boxes, will be taking part in a concours today (Friday) in the Hotel du Region, Toulouse. The concours is organised by students of wine production at Toulouse University and entrants are from 12 countries. Some 30% of supermarket wine sales are boxes and the usual blind tasting by experts will be looking for the "best in box".
The new region covering Languedoc Roussillon Midi Pyrenees is the largest wine producing area in France with over 270000 hectares under vines.
