how to carry wine on your bike

I love the romantic picture on the Guardian Ethical Living blog today showing a very nice bootle of wine carefully tied to the bike, such adaptability.

The article does have a more seriouse note though, its certainly not the first time I have seen a group of friends leave a pub at night and cycle off, living in the sticks as they say, does mean that the local pub can be more of a hike than a walk to get to, so people meet up using bikes rarther than risk getting stopped on a country lane and being done for drink driving. Does that make it right to use a bike when drunk?
