HOWTO: Drink Wine Inelegantly in Paris

It's not very elegant--in fact we think it's downright un-French--but there is at least one restaurant in Paris serving house red wine in baby bottles. And since this unusual practice apparently circumvents tax laws on glasses of wine, we can only imagine that there are other places offering the same.

Intelligent Travel alerted us to the existence of the Le Refuge des Fondus in our favorite neighborhood of Paris, Montmartre. This is the place to go when your budget is running low: They'll serve you a fondue meal including an appetizer and desert and a "bottle" of wine for a highly reasonable €17 (US$26).

The baby bottle certainly makes drinking a lot easier, if also a little less classy, and the price is something we're more than happy with. We're thinking this is something that would also work well in other situations. You'll see us grabbing a bottle on our next turbulent flight.
