In an attempt to make wine drinking more environmentally friendly, California based vineyard, Indulge Wines, has created the 'Astapouch'. The Astrapouch, which is basically a wine bag, comes in a 1.5L size, equivalent to 2 regular bottles of wine.

Instead I used a series of pliers, and 10 minutes later had all the screws removed. Here is what the tamper proof/security screws look like, once removed. I should add that there is also a plastic security tab, just above the IEEE 1394 jacks, which disintegrated when I attempted to
