THE LOOK
Plastic bottle is light but it feels quite odd in hand because of the weight.
As wine is young it is also quite pale red for Merlot grapes.
THE NOSE
Modest bouquet, hardly can recognize otherwise so spicy Merlot.
THE TASTE
Taste is as weak as aroma. Merlot wine usually “kick” a little bit but this one was without character. On the other hand easy to drink if you do not like full-bodied wines.

Chill Out wines must target younger consumers but also those who sail, visit festivals or camp. Light weigh makes it easy to take more bottles with you. And bottle is still recyclable.
Maybe wines should be enjoyed from plastic glasses to maximize bouquet and taste? Real wine glass is not optimal choice, prefer food glass instead.
When price of the wine at Alko is about 7€, it is one of the cheapest wines there.
