This is actually pretty decent for plonk. I gotsa question. Is it
possible to improve this plonk by laying it down on its side as if it
were real wine, and letting it sit for a year or two?

No. Generally speaking, only a small percentage of wines benefit from
aging, usually only relatively high-end ones of certain provenience and
vintage. Most wines produced today are designed to be drunk young.

In a word, no. It's blended to drink now.

No. It doesn't have enough tannin for that. It's ready to drink when
you buy it, and will only deteriorate (slowly) with age.

I bought some once and thought it was too sweet. For cheap wine, I like
Inglenook Chianti -- in a 1.5L bottle; I don't know if it's available in
a larger jug or not.

Best regards,
Bob

It's there to enjoy, not to get all snobbish over.
