The seagulls have had enough, fleeing to milder climes, and it\u2019s starting to feel like the Blade Runner vision of the 21st century is finally coming true. But, just the other day, a surprise visitor flew through my front door to chirp me up \u2014\u00a0a pouch of English Pinot Gris from new wine collective Thirsty Birds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Admittedly it was the first time I\u2019d tried these sort of pouches, and initially it felt somewhat odd, squeezing wine out of a container that looks like one of those hospital blood bags (mainlining wine into your arm is not recommended, kids). But once I got the feel of the wee tap at the bottom, I was all in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While you don\u2019t get the satisfying pop of a cork, there is an oddly rustic pleasure to be taken from the cow-milking-style action of a pouch. And importantly, these pouches have reduced carbon footprints, stay fresher for much longer and come in bigger sizes than bottles. This one was 1.5L, so a two-bottle equivalent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned, it\u2019s a Pinot Gris \u2014 my favourite English wine grape. A more interesting take on the ubiquitous Pinot Grigio, the Gris always seems to have more style and substance than its Italian cousin, with a bolder, deeper fruit-flavour profile.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This one is zesty, fresh and light, with a high acidity and a hint of salinity. Which makes it perfect for (ironically, given its climate of origin) al fresco seafood on a hot summer day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The label is cool too, and the artwork on Thirsty Birds\u2019 small-batch wines, I\u2019m assured, each showcases a different emerging artist. This one is by Ciot\u00f3g, who studied sculpture at St Martins College (insert Pulp reference here), and you can buy a print of it on the Thirsty Birds site.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talking of which, the company\u2019s co-founder, Amy, is depicted on there as a truck-loving puffin. \u201cPuffins are hardy, committed creatures, who thrive in cold climates and shuffle about, grumbling all day. I can relate,\u201d Amy told the Wine Ninjas. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe decided to set up Thirsty Birds because we wanted to do wine differently, in a way that made sense \u2014 use re-usable bottles, pouches that are lightweight and keep the wine fresh for ages and kegs that are easy to transport. I wanted us to focus on still wine for now, but that\u2019s not to say we won\u2019t look to do a fizz in the future,\u201d she continues. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sounds like this project has wings.
