I just talked to Chateau Broustet in Sauternes-Barsac. Chateau Broustet uses the "tiny bottles" of WIT. They launched several "tiny bottles" of their wines: Sweet Broustet (NV) and Chateau Broustet (with vintage) in 10 cl bottle.
The format existed for 2 years. For the Sauternes, they expect about 3 years of ageing potential. For their dry white, they think there will be only a 2-year ageing potential.
Hope this helps. I'm currently working on a more in depth article on the subject.

Several Sauternes producers, like Chateau Broustet, Chateau D'Arche, Chateau Rabaud Promis (first growth) have also choosen to launch a WIT. I guess it could really improve the consumption of these really sweet wines: You tend to never open a bottle, knowing you will not be able to finish it if you are only 2, 3 people or even alone.

Does anybody know how long can last the wine in the tube ?
