Any one taste any of the "wine in a box" wines in the stores
now?
What's good or bad?


Until very recently, just about everything available in the USA
was terrible. But there are now a couple of fairly decent, if not
great, choices. I've liked box wines from Black Box and Banrock
Station.


Am I correct in thinking that boxed wines have been common in
Australia for some years now? I would add the Hardy's products to the
list of drinkable boxed wines: not great but they certainly keep well.
They also are not marked "natural and artificial flavors" like
Franzia!
