oof, one of the worst hangovers I’ve ever had was the result of boxed wine.

Any wine that comes in a box or screw top bottle is poison.

If you need someone else to formulate your opinions, you need to get a life. “Life is not a dress rehearsal.”
For a big party, boxes are fabulous. Especially when set up as “self-serve”.
Besides, more often, the pairing with the right food makes or breaks the choice of wines.

Before you embarrass yourself with strong opinions on the subject of wines, read about Robert Parker, who was born with exceptional sense of taste and smell. He BLEW UP the over-priced French wine cartel, revolutionizing the international wine industry.
His God-given “gift” made him the target of assassination.
Out of sight, we refilled emptied snob-wine bottles with boxed wine, put the
snob-wine bottles back out. No one noticed.

LOL, we use to call it Drinking Diesel.

The biggest advantage to boxed wine is that the neighbors don’t hear the bottles clanking together when you take out the trash!

A little PFAC and BPA with your wine never tasted so good.

😆 Oh that wine was a pleasure compared to the rot-gut whiskeys, much less moonshines, I used to drink.

Box o Death, you mean? Mad Dog is better.

I have only had a few good wines in my life. NONE have come from a box.

The boxed wines I use seem to be real wines and not just fruit juice with grain alcohol added to give a buzz. It is also subjective as to what type a wine you prefer. I enjoy many of the boxed wines but I would not put them in my wine cellar to enjoy them much past a year from date of purchase.

These, of course, are not… ehh… box wine… sniff…

Probably from the billions of plastic particles and nano-particles they have recently discovered in plastic containers.

Whatever happened to drinking real cheap wine like Boone’s Farm or Thunderbird? Or are those only reserved for underage teenage boys and winos.

I drank two boxes yesterday. (Not the big ones!)

They’re saying that’s what killing Testosterone. I think there’s more than that doing it. But just the same I wont drink a bottled water. Or anything else that comes in a plastic bottle.

Yeah, Brad, I believe there’s more to it as well. The over medication and over sterilization of just about everything is having and adverse effect on the natural chemistry of the human body. Sure, the lifespan may increase, but I don’t think the overall health has.

What’s the word? Thunderbird.
What’s the price? Dollar twice.
Winos agree, fortified wine is the best.

I always considered wine as grape juice gone bad.

Fine wine is wasted on my tastebuds/nose. Table wines are sufficient. Black Box Pinot Noir is a decent table red. I have ‘experimented’ on a couple people that thought they knew wine. They didn’t. They just knew how to read a lable.

My dad tried to make wine from some grapes in our back yard years ago, he ended up with vinegar. The worst wine was some tomato wine which a friend had got from an old guy in his neighborhood. He brought it to our book and wine club, and it was so bad it was poured out before anyone even drank it.

Box wine – good memories. Or at least what I can actually remember.

I’ve never boxed wine but I have been punch drunk.
We, my Brother and I, bought a half keg of Bitburger one time. Not Bitburger like Bitburger, but some kind of ancient erudite Monks who pissed in bottles.
That was the only beer we dumped into the stream behind the house.
All the frogs died. And the fish. Crawdads. A few turtles.
Bota Box, occasionally. It’s not bad.

We called it “wapatuli” in college. A common recipe, but make sure you’re serving a crowd, it makes a whole trash barrel full.

Wapatuli??
That was our Hairy Buffalo Party
