Why do some wines come in wooden cases? What are their purpose - and, perhaps more importantly, their implications?  This short & sweet Wine Blast Live version of our podcast is a response to this question from Andreas in Switzerland. We feature input from leading wine producers, including breaking news from Château Langoa Barton in Bordeaux that they will be moving their entire 80,000-bottle production from wooden to cardboard boxes. They may even offer their customers the choice - with a surcharge for wooden boxes going to an environmental charity. This subject led to an engaging discussion on social media and so we also feature the creative and informative views and stories shared with us there, some of which are guaranteed to raise a smile. From Boris Johnson to wine explosions, a pet coffin, drill bits, shopping at speed and a hook for a hand - this topic veers into territory you'd never have expected...For the photos (well worth a look) check out the link to our show notes: Boxing Clever on susieandpeter.comNB: Wine Blast Live is a video-podcast and you can find the video either on our website show notes or on our YouTube channelYou can also connect with us on social media: via Instagram or Twitter.
