Just tried my first one and it's lovely.
Will the wine really keep like that?

If you're referring to wine in a box (or bag-in-a-box) the answer is
yes. There's a plastic bag inside the box that contracts as you draw
wine from it, so no oxygen gets in and the wine remains fresh for quite
a long while.

I usually have a 5L box or two of wine in the refrigerator for cooking.
It keeps quite well for at least a few months. Some of the box wines
have a "use by" date, and it is best to buy a box that is not about to
expire. Although the wines I use for cooking are not fine wines, I find
the taste remains about the same for a few months. It is helpful to
clean the tap of the wine after drawing some, as nasty tastes and
smells could build up if you do not and if you only draw wine every few
days or weeks.

We're talking about a question of weeks, so "quite a long while"
is relative - compared to unopend vintage port ... ;-)

Excellent. Sainsbury's were selling a box of Banrock Station Shiraz. I've
only ever seen rubbish wines in boxes before.
