or $3.30 a single-serving of Shiraz, rosé or Chardonnay can be yours. Brought to you by James Nash’s company ‘Le Froglet,’ these wines by the glass are flying off the shelves in England, probably because people can’t limit themselves to just one. Nash was a contestant on a reality show called ‘Dragon’s Den’ and was told by jurors on the show that no one would buy this product. Entrepreneur James Nash’s invention – a single-serve plastic glass of French wine with a tear-off lid – has just started being stocked by Marks & Spencer, but the chain is already struggling to keep up with demand. “They’re proving popular with people who want to perhaps enjoy the summer with a glass of wine in the park as part of an impromptu picnic, either after work or for a relaxing lunch,” explains an M&S spokesperson.“ They’re also popular with commuters who want to enjoy a drink on the train home from work to wind down. We’ve found they’re very popular in locations popular with tourists.” When James Nash presented his ‘cup-a-wine’ concept to the Dragons, they weren’t impressed. James Nash offered a 25 per cent stake in the business in exchange for £250,000, but none were interested. “People don’t want to buy wine in plastic glasses like that with a seal on top,” said Duncan Bannatyne. How wrong he was. The £2.25, 187ml Shiraz, Rose and Chardonnay wine glasses have been flying off the shelves. “It was disheartening to be dismissed by all the Dragons,” James Nash told the Daily Mail. “But I knew I had a great concept which wold work in outdoor events, BBQs, picnics, concernts, and I wouldn’t give up. “I’m really looking forward to facin the Dragons again as ‘the one that got away’. Hopefully sales of the product will show that they’re not always right.”  James Nash’s success is certainly giving the Dragons food for thought, although it remains to be seen whether consumers are just intrigued by the new glass format or if they actually like the wine. Wine-connoisseurs certainly aren’t convinced about the quality of the wine. A wine blogger wrote: “It was horrendous. Not balanced at all. Very rough on the palate, not helped by the (abrasive) glass. I took a couple of sips and threw it down the sink. It is hands down the worst ever glass of wine I have ever drunk.” Actually Nash’s idea I not new! We note that  someone n East Europe  alleready think on it. The problem was that they prefear vodka and palinka instead of wine. We buy few years ago in Budapest a  “Tipli Vodka” glass made by the Hungarian Gyorilikor Company  (www.gyorilikor.hu) see the picture here below. We love the concept so we wish other companies will come with different similar offers.
