Perhaps others have considered this already,....

So, if you are tired of the debate over whether or not blocking malo is spoofalation, and especially if you are not, you may want to consider the question raised (but not begged) by the sticker on this bottle of excellent Leroy 2013 Les Noels de Montbenault.

Is shipping by anything other than ox-cart or mule-drawn-barge spoof?

What does it say?

Warren, sorry the thumbnail was hard to read. It says "transporte a la voile/ shipped by sail power".

See if this is any better :

Per the website this is a green effort, reducing the amount of fossil fuels used during shipping. They are not making terroirist claims.

For a moment there I thought Dick was shipping under voile to protect from oxygen.

Since Leroy is a Weygandt wine, and since shipping is something the importer does, or at least participates in, Warren, you might know something about this.

Do the sails also power the reefers?

I can't believe that no one (as far as I know) has questioned the credentials of any natural wine that has been bottled

I'd hope so, but as this bottle was in Stockholm, it is possible it was shipped w/out reefer.

ours come on standard reefers on a container ship as far as I know
seems to be something Richard and his Swedish importer have worked out
