MiniArt comes with a curious set of Champagne and cognac bottles at 1/35 and their crates.
There are 180 (!!) bottles in translucent brown and green plastic, and a good number of crates of different sizes.

The bottles have the typical shape of champagne and cognac.

There is a also sheet of decals for the labels for the bottles and markings for the boxes.

Hey ME109G10 - there is a review out there (in Russian I think) - anyway Google translate gives you an idea of what the kit is like (average) and it only rates 5/10

For sure a good idea and nice release but to be precise neither Cognac nor Champagne were packed in crate but in closed wooden box (some times cardboard today). But these crates are still very adequate for wine bottles, especially the ones uses by Café and/or "vignerons" (winemakers). Also in Champagne (east area an our drive from Paris), green bottles are mainly used not brown, like in most french wines regions (except in Alsace close to the german border or in some south of France areas) Anyway, at least two of this set will be on my shopping list !!

Perhaps MINIART could correct these little faux pas in future..? The Wine and Champagne bottles would also make nice "props" for various Infantry figures in the process of "celebrating" a recent victory, or just plain "enjoying themselves". Maybe a few figures of girls or women "enjoying" with the Infantry..?

Faux pas, aside, this one's a winner for one basic reason: LABELS!!! So sick of model companies leaving out the tiny visual details that make a build come to life. Bravo, MiniArt!
