Chris, agree that wine bottle labels are much cooler than a cardboard box. I check 'em out as I push my shopping cart past the bottle stuff to the corner where they hide the wine-in-a-box <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Agree with you on the advantages of a bottle in a survival situation. But if I get caught in a bad spot with my wine box I can (first) empty the contents, (two) inflate my erstwhile wine bag and use it as pillow as I sleep off the contents. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You mentioned "some form of stabliliser to keep the water from becoming compromised." What do you mean by stabilser? Like a drop of bleach?
