We do, however, "dress it up" a bit with these dispensers at Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/122270805/box-wine-barrel-dispenser-with-letterskgrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00385187692877248447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-76882142540143179952012-09-27T18:27:26.186-07:002012-09-27T18:27:26.186-07:00With only two adults living at our house, boxed wi...With only two adults living at our house, boxed wine has been the perfect solution - usually Franzia White Zinfandal which goes with everything.<br /><br />When we have company and decant some into a bottle for the table, no one ever comments or criticizes.<br /><br />No waste, decent wine, and you can't beat the price.Hughes ap Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10069264462698564387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-76229157117222603432012-09-27T18:13:49.563-07:002012-09-27T18:13:49.563-07:00Ugh.

But I find every boxed wine I've had (in the states) gives me the killer headache of badly-made wine (not correlated with price, unsurprisingly), sometimes while I am still drinking it even. Perhaps there exist some that don't, but I've kind of given up trying for that reason.Brittanynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-62918124777864076482012-09-26T08:53:11.772-07:002012-09-26T08:53:11.772-07:00The DH and I drink a lot of wine, but we haven'...The DH and I drink a lot of wine, but we haven't yet essayed The Box. Mostly because it's just the two of us, and "a lot" comes to an average of one glass per person per night, which means that box would be sitting there for a loooong time, and we have neither long kitchen counters nor a large refrigerator.<br /><br />I might try it for our next dinner party, though. :-)chacha1http://www.ombailamos.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-17473374153078002022012-09-26T07:37:25.816-07:002012-09-26T07:37:25.816-07:00Boxed wines are great!

They have a huge selection of all types of wine and when it comes time to bottle it, you bring in your own recycled bottles. Simple and nothing to recycle cause they keep getting used over and over again.Wet Coastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01102725313262001765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-63656450961105709212012-09-25T14:55:32.481-07:002012-09-25T14:55:32.481-07:00We drink boxed wine regularly in my house (speakin...We drink boxed wine regularly in my house (speaking of which, I need to stop at the liquor store because we're out!). I find that it doesn't taste quite as good as what we would get in a bottle, but it is perfectly fine for an evening glass. Plus, I don't feel the need to drink more just to get through the bottle before it turns. Boxed seems to last about a month.Caranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-43585150935593822882012-09-25T09:29:45.431-07:002012-09-25T09:29:45.431-07:00I'm a big fan of boxed wine, and I've foun...I'm a big fan of boxed wine, and I've found that the white tends to last longer (probably due to refrigeration). I tend to keep a box of Bota Box Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay in the fridge at all times. It's also great for cooking.<br />There are also the TetraPaks, which usually contain about 3 glasses of wine and are great for taking to glass-unfriendly locales.Kirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02308984027153767244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-9491200341011025152012-09-25T08:40:13.213-07:002012-09-25T08:40:13.213-07:00I had boxed wine a few months ago and was pleasant...I had boxed wine a few months ago and was pleasantly surprised. I'm curious to know how long it lasts when opened--I don't drink much wine, and never make it through a bottle.Tragic Sandwichhttp://tragicsandwich.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-48767800987765754342012-09-25T05:09:37.348-07:002012-09-25T05:09:37.348-07:00I've had some really bad ones (think the old-s...I've had some really bad ones (think the old-school boxed wines) and some good ones.<br /><br />But I'm the only wine-drinker in the house, and I'm nursing a baby and trying to lose weight. So I don't drink that much. I think it would just really be too much wine to have open and too tempting really.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984899661746845414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-3546085855664937082012-09-25T04:55:04.350-07:002012-09-25T04:55:04.350-07:00Gone are the days when wine in a box is some cheap...Gone are the days when wine in a box is some cheap rot gut! Many of the better mid priced wine producers are putting their wine in boxes. Menage a Trois makes a very drinkable line of boxed wine. If you don't want your guests to know its from a box put it in a decanter!<br /><br />And yes, I do work for a store that sells wine along with a lot of other stuff.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952908173966773292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-89104419905608974792012-09-25T04:34:50.989-07:002012-09-25T04:34:50.989-07:00My husband drinks Black Box Chardonnay.

Of course they end up in recipes, but it still feels wasteful.<br /><br />Also, I imagine you would drink less if you had to get up and go to the kitchen to refill your glass from a shameful box, rather than if you had a socially-acceptable bottle on the table - added health benefits!Elenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775065716340270284noreply@blogger.com
