Have not consumed a drop of booze in this house since February of 2009. All this box wine talk may push me over the edge to pull out my emergency bottle of Balvenie doublewood.

Black Box Cabernet is actually pretty good.
Lets actually visit why boxed wine is good. Wine like beer is affected by light. No light in a box. If you open wine, unless you have an expensive inert gas pump system, air will ruin it. Boxed wine is in a Mylar bag. As the wine is poured, the bag collapses and no air is introduced. Thus the wine is the same every.single.time. If you pour a good boxed wine in a carafe, people think you are suave and with it. If you pour the same from a box, you are trailer trash. This argument is much like bottled beer VS canned beer. Canned beer is actually better than bottled beer. Because cans aren’t affected by light. |

lol I've been home sick with the flu for 9 days, finally got out of the house yesterday and stopped at the liquor store - picked up 2 bottles of Stags Leap Artemis, 1 Chimney Rock Elevage, Oban 14, Balvenie 12, and an American Oak Balvenie 14 (first time trying it).
Missed my birthday and Christmas because i was wick so will be celebrating with the girlfriend tomorrow. |

It's my habit that if I'm opening a bottle of wine, the intent is to finish it, not recork it. So I always plan on 4 glasses per bottle amongst whomever is drinking it. That being said, if you like boxed wine you're lucky, you're drinking for a lot less $$$ than those that dont. And it all just boils down to "do you like it or not" in the end. |
