NEW YORK (CNN/Money) -
In a new twist on boxed wine, "Bag-in-Tubes" are hitting the market, just in time for Thanksgiving.
The 2004 Chardonnay from Dtour's Macon-Villages of France comes in a cardboard canister that contains a three-liter collapsible bag.
The reincarnation of the boxed white wine comes from a collaboration between vintner Dominique Lafon, sommelier Daniel Johnnes and chef Daniel Boulud. A red wine is in the works, Johnnes said.
"Bag-in-Tubes" are currently sold in select stores in New York, New Jersey and Maryland for around $37.
Each tube holds the equivalent of four bottles, but don't feel you have to drink it all at once.
The vacuum-sealed bag protects the wine from oxidation, Boulud said, so the last glass should taste as good as the first, even if it's poured much later.
