Ok, soap box time: At a wine tasting I did yesterday the subject of box wine came up. Everyone was surprised when I said yes, I do buy box wine. Then, this afternoon I went into my favorite wine shop, to get a bottle of white for a pasta/white wine dish I'm doing tonight and found this: many would argue THE white grape of northern Italy, Garganega - lean, refreshing, fragrant.
2nd picture: see that 3L ... that's 3 liters (4 bottles) of wine.
3rd picture: This box expires on Dec 1, 2024. The bag it's stored in isn't meant to age ... its built for drinking! And once you open the bag, the wine will last about a month (some say 6-8 weeks, but I don't like drinking wine as its turning to vinegar).
Last picture: my bill.
P.S. Not all box wine is the same. still sucks ... and, yes, it is, technically, wine.
