What would you do for a three or four month cruise in the Bahamas with over priced inferior wines available to purchase?
Just more cases in the bilge before we would leave

I’ll bet if you call the Costco ahead of time they will have it ready for you.. pretty sure there’s no way they only stock three boxes of wine at a time...
Greetings,
Mr. R. "...there is no market for used wine box plastic here..." Sounds like your local politicians should be notified of this. I know, sounds stupid but ya gotta start somewhere...
The number one problem with recycling isn't the ability to do it but the availability of various types. We use a huge quantity of plastic water bottles both personally and in our business. Every bottle is recycled. I believe your wine boxes are recyclable in regular city of Fort Lauderdale recycling for homes. Doesn't help you but does show the nature of the problem isn't the material but is the local recycling.
I think it's the plastic bag and not the cardboard box that they are talking about.
Thanks. Actually not as difficult as it looks. It’s all CNC machined joints and 3D artwork. Still some hand work and assembly and finish. I may offer them as a kit. Easier to ship and cheaper for everyone. Can personalize artwork.
I’ll be working on the concept.

Since Costco has been mentioned, a question for you Costco shoppers.
I was in a midwest US Costco with a armful of wine at the checkout last fall and the cashier asked for my drivers licence. I asked why since I had already produced my membership card and I am obviously over 60. The cashier said he wanted to scan it. I asked him what he meant and he described how he was going to run the DL through his machine and store an image on the store computer. I said "not with my licence" and dropped the wine on the counter and walked out.
This is the company whose credit card (Capital One) was hacked last year and a significant amount of customer data was stolen. The inconvenience for some has been great.
How common is this in the US? Nothing like this would be acceptable in Canada.(I would hope) Not at Costco, not anywhere.

leeman,
Yes, our Capital One charge card/ Costco membership card functions fine as a membership card in the US. However, they do not accept it as a "charge card". At least the last time I was down there.
BC liquor laws restrict where alcohol can be sold. Costco does not "qualify" under the law. Our laws are very "outdated" IMHO.
