Would you drink it from a box? Would you drink it with a fox?
serious crayons:
In my efforts to trim my household budget, I have started buying the occasional box of wine. I can't say it's delicious, but it's probably no worse than any other wine that would sell for $5 or $6 a bottle, which is approximately what boxed wine works out to be.
Anybody find a brand they particularly like?

I have never been much of a wine drinker. I don't DISLIKE it though. I love sweet red wines. When I do buy wine, it's always in a bottle, although I've been very curious about those boxed wines. Many people buy their wine like that.
So, I voted "maybe"

For the uninitiated, I should add that a box of wine costs $18 to $22 and is the equivalent of four bottles.
If I buy wine by the bottle, I usually aim for somewhere around $10 (lately, even less). So a box is approximately half the cost of what I'd consider decent bottled wine.

can't drink wine with preservatives in it, and that goes for the wine in a box.

So basically we are paying as much for the bottle as we are for the wine inside it! Hmmm... :-\
And then we just throw the bottle away. ::)
Well, if I ever decide to become a die-hard wine drinker I'll seriously consider the boxed versions.
