Paul B. wrote:I agree that this does nothing to promote fine wine appreciation among the younger generation; rather, it just plays into the hands of decline and the ever coarsening appetite for kitsch that seems to be part and parcel of the sound-byte times we are living in.

Eve Lejeune wrote:Pop did come with a straw about 10 years ago but now it just comes in small bottles.
