7-Eleven's Plot + Point wine is available in two summery varietals, chardonnay and pinot grigio, and [Tetra Pak containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-collective-good-wine-range) with screwtop caps that are ready to pour and easy to reseal. Perfect for packing to enjoy during a [range of outdoor activities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-box-wine-range), the 500 mL of Plot + Point Wine cartons can be found in stores chilled in the cooler or on the shelves.

While the medium-bodied chardonnay is said to share aromas of green apple, pineapple and a hint of oak, the pinot grigio varietal is a light and crisp choice with citrus, apple and peach. The [non-breakable containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mud-house-mini-box) hold the equivalent of three glasses of wine, and this key selling feature is displayed with a graphic on the front label.
