...Khayyam may have to be rewritten. For the Jug of Wine that went with the Loaf of Bread-and Thou, substitute Bag (for the Jug, that is). Instead of bottling their vintages in conventional glass, nearly two dozen California wine makers, including Almaden and Geyser Peak, are putting up bulk wines in four-ply plastic film bags equipped with patented on-off spout valves.
