is a pre packed one such as a can or bottle which can be handed to the
customer to pour themselves away from the counter if need be.

And good-quality beers and ciders are sold in bottles, though these
are rarely available in buffet cars - it's normally Tetley's, Carling
and Strongbow, which doesn't really sell it to me.


Ditto - but Heineken or Stella are often stocked as well are they not.
The former in it's newer continental formulation is actually quite
good IMO, and the latter, despite it's 'chavvy image' (for want of a
better term), is quite acceptable. I've had a few fairly good half-
bottles of wine as well. You pay through the nose for all these things
of course, but then again they're often something of an impulse
purchase.
