Vinexpo2011: Packages are everything

Cigareeaudevie

Eau de Vie, "La veille poire" in a cigar packaging  via Twitter, but couldn't. This is from Distillerie Paul Devoille (Fougerolles, FR). I learned at their booth that this product can not be imported into the USA because the contents must be 5cl. Why?

Lambruscocan

Wine geeks will turn up their noses at this Mabrusco in a can, but it would obviously be a great answer to the question "What can I serve to Phil and Alice, neither of whom like wine?" It's a light 8% and is available in red, white or rosé. They are definitely interested in an importer, so talk to them: Giovanni Giacobazzi at Donelli  (Modena, IT)

Realdevilla

I'm a sucker for Tequila. Always have been.

"Badges? We don' need no stinkin' badges..."

Reading
Who says no one reads anymore? There was a constant throng at Mollat bookstore booth.
Parker

"100 points. I am totally blown away!"

Malbecvinex

Lots of people working hard on both sides of the counter at the Malbec de Cahors booth.
