Actually, the stuff I was drinking doesn't have a bladder... it's a
tetrapak, i.e. multilayer construction just like the single serve juice
drink boxes you get for the kiddies to have on long car trips. The
latter come with a straw, not so the wine variety. BTW, this stuff was
$5.99US for a litre package.
Another use for the bladders is camping trips, especially canoeing.
When the wine is gone, the bladders can be used for filling with
(boiled/treated) drinking water.
