Boxed wine-experiences with it? How is it?

some of it is ok to cook with but i would never drink it

Just had a glass. It's not terrible.

Does it last? I'll stick with my bottles but this seems fine for regular guests

If you like it, then it is fine, regardless of what anyone might say.

It will keep about three weeks once you begin drawing from the box, or so the labeling says.

Enjoy your wine.

Took one tiki tubing a few years ago. Never. Again.

that thing seems to never run out. it's good to bring to the camp if you're a wine drinker.

The quality of these has improved dramatically in recent years. Much of it still sucks though. One that I've tried that isn't bad is the Big House Red label. This used to be owned by Bonny Doon but the brand was sold a few years ago. One thing they did was roll it out in box format. It's something like $15 and I bought one a few years ago to serve to my father in law when he comes over. He wants red wine, but doesn't really care what it is and usually only drinks a glass. Given that this is vacuum sealed and is a considerable amount of wine, I figured I'd give it a shot. I thought it was pretty good and a great value. That said, I dont' have a basement full of boxed wine. I guess my point is: don't assume that just because it's in a box it is terrible, some of it is good, and there are plenty of shitty wines in bottles.

I like Black Box. The empty, flattened box takes up less room in the garbage bag and is lighter than empty bottles. I'm green baby!

My garbage man looks at my empty bottles and wonders if I have a liquor license.
