Sailing Boats - they're the latest thing!

Transportation by sailing boats - it's the next big thing! Although it may seem that we are stepping back in time, Guillame Le Grand, founder of TransOceanic Wind Transport, spent 4 days this week sailing 3,500 bottles of Natural Wine to London from the French port of Fecamp, in partnership with the RAW natural wines fair (Isabelle Legeron) and Loire Valley winemaker Olivier Cousin. The boat, Michel & Patrick, moored in St Katherines Dock London and delivered several hundred bottles of wines to the RAW fair, which took place on May 19 and 20th. All bottles will carry a 'shipped by sail' sticker.

They have a plan to build a fleet of between four and six boats and want to highlight society's unsustainable reliance on oil-derived energy. They have so far also sailed olive oil, chocolate, tea and rum.

Better get your orders in now for Christmas for those natural Californian wines!
