L d'or's new bottle

I don't like it. I just got my batch of the 12 L d'or and the new bottle is one of those thick ones that don't fit in normal racks and that probably cost everybody more to buy it, ship it, etc. I'm not about to boycott the wine. But there must be some way to stop this madness. The next thing they'll make one of those new labels with animals or cartoons of women in underwear. I'll bet Joe wouldn't have allowed this.
 
I have boycotted wines that I really like due to their annoying (and very inconvenient) bottle shape. Chateau de la Gardine CNdP comes to mind.

. . . . Pete
 
If I like the wine, I'm not going to not drink it just because the makers have bozo bottle notions. But someone should tell them they have bozo bottle notions.
 
The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step--or some such nonsense.

Or maybe you'll like this better:

Walk into the shrink wherever you are, just walk in, say, "Shrink, . . . down with bozo bottles", and walk out.

You know, if one person, just one person, does it, they may think he's
Really sick and they won't take him.

And if two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and
They won't take either of them.

And if three people do it! Can you imagine three people walkin' in, and saying "down with bozo bottles" and walkin' out? They may think it's an
Organization!

And can you imagine fifty people a day? I said FIFTY people a day . . .
Walkin' in, saying "down with bozo bottles" and walkin' out? Friends,
They may think it's a MOVEMENT, and that's what it is: the DOWN WITH BOZO BOTTLES MOVEMENT."
 
I noticed that the Allées is in a standard Burgundy bottle.

I sort of wish all wines were in standard bottles. I'd allow two shapes, traditional Bordeaux and Burgundy.
 
I assume the recent trend of bigger bottles is an honestly frustrated response to either the reluctance of most people to take Muscadet serious, and/or to pay more than a pittance for it. Whatever it takes...
 
I think the profile of Muscadet is shifting in the US, if slightly. Last weekend my mother handed me a recent issue of Food & Wine that features an 8-page spread dedicated to Muscadet including profiles of top producers and restaurants that feature them. The producers featured are exactly who you and I would have chosen. No mention of bottle heft, though.
