Talk to me about boxed wine

[Anonymous]

I'm also a light drinker. But all the boxes I've seen come in 3 liters, which is about 20 glasses, and they say they last 30 days. So you still have to drink about 5 glasses a week to finish it, which is still more than I want.

The red boxed wine from Costco is pretty decent (generic). But it did eventually sour, in our household. We didn't drink it quickly enough. The first few weeks, it tasted exactly the same each time.

OP here. I plan to try Bota Box and a Total Wine recently opened up about 5 minutes away from my house so it "pairs" nicely.

We'll never make our way through it before it sours but at $15, it's better than going through multiple bottles of wine.

I got invited to a party by people much richer than I. Not wanting to be tacky, I brought a nice bottle of wine. Since they'd all brought boxed wine, they fell upon my bottle like vultures!

That told me what I needed to know about boxed wine.

What wines did they like??

I like Sauvignon bland, have tried the black box and the barefoot, no thank you to those.
Don’t think I’m picky thoug, i like K. Krawford. Do folks like other box brands in the mid-tier category?

You are just not my people.

Can we go back to the fact that OP drinks 0.15 bottles of wine per month?

OP: Grocery stores usually sell four packs of tiny wine bottles (made out of plastic for using poolside or sneaking into a movie theater). If you only drink a glass of wine at a time, then this should work as each bottle is designed to be one glass of wine.

FWIW We tried Bota Box & Black Box and once was enough. Your experience may differ, but the Bota Box was atrocious.

Big fan of the Le Ville Ferme box. I have been buying this wine by the bottle for years. Great everyday wine that you can get for $8 at Rodmans. Box of it is $22, great deal.

Another vote for Bota Box. I like the Chardonnay and the Cabernet.

Yeah that’s like half a glass. Why would anyone in this situation want to buy larger containers.

I am enjoying a nice chilled Kirkland brand Pinot Grigio though I prepare it a slightly non-traditional way and that is mixing it in a 1:1 ratio with the sparkling water of my choice in a glass filled to the brim with ice.

I call this "nightwater" and it allows me to remain hydrated but takes the edge off the fourth hour of the Stardew Valley music that I must endure on this terribly rainy day.

I hated Bota Box, too. The Chardonnay. Ick.

The little bottles are 1/4 of a regular 750 ml bottle, so technically more than "one glass of wine." But they're great to keep around for cooking.
