Would you drink it from a box? Would you drink it with a fox?

Well, the advantage is not only that it's cheaper, but that theoretically you can have just one or two glasses at a time and because the wine is vacuum-packed (actually it's in a heavy plastic bag inside the box), it will last for a long time.
Though, as Lynne said, the opposite is likely to happen, too -- you drink more than you otherwise would without realizing it because you can't see how much you're getting.

I don't drink $100 wine, not only because I can't afford it but because I don't want to be exposed to it and find that's the only kind I like, too. I'd rather just be obliviously content with cheaper wine.

I' not a wine drinker at all, probably one of the few Italians who doesn't like 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.

Oh, Katherine. ... :'(
When someone of your taste and education starts drinking wine from a box, it's the end of civilization as we know it. :'(
At least you could buy it in bottles with screw caps!
Me, I would not drink it from a box. I would not drink it with a fox. :P
