"Bandits" on the train? (And no robbery?)

Jon Bonné has a piece up on MSNBC.com about the new 250-ml single-serve wines from Three Thieves. But instead of a bottle, these come in paper-based aseptic packs--juice boxes for grownups! (Bonné says the wine's pretty good, too.)

Because there's less packaging, "Bandits" store more compactly than bottles, and they take up far less space in the wastecan. On a train, where space is reckoned in cubic inches, the mini-winebox offers a signficant advantage over single-serve bottles. Will Amtrak put these on? Don't know--can't say. Something to watch for, however, in any case.
