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!

Rick,

along with other suggestions, I understand that Brocard was offering their
"Jurassique" bourgogne blanc in BiB. About $25 for 3L I think. While I haven't
had it, their other "near-Chablis" (Kimmeridgien) is usually pretty good, and
if you like clean unoaked Chardonnay it would be worth a try. Not available
near me, but it was in CA I heard of it.

My Dad has enjoyed the Black Box, as recommended by Ed on this
ng.

In France there is a large variety of Bag in Box (BiB) available, ranging from
the sublime to the ridiculous. Certainly a good way to preserve quantity for
several weeks.

Besides making it available for a glass whenever you want one,
it's a good way to have wine available for cooking as needed.
