Boxed wine - suggestions

[teller80]

Please don't laugh at me. I've been wanting to try one, I've heard they can be good - any recommendations (or warnings of which to avoid)??

I like the wine cubes at Target. My favorite is the Reisling. Also like the moscato and Pinot noir

I've had the Botta Box chardonnay and it was pretty good!

Black Box is the go to for most people I know -- at least those who admit to boxing it.

KNOW that I work for an Oregon winery, my wife is the finance officer for an Oregon winery, and our winery does NOT sell box wine.

Here's a link you might find helpful.

Fish Eye and the Big House wines are stables in our house. Very useful for wines used for cooking.

What do you keep in the stables....sorry, could not resist. I have had plenty of my own typos.

And that's what I get for typing fast and not proofreading.

Good tasting wine can be found in a box, and good tasting wine can be found with a twist off cap.

Most of my favorite wines are in a bottle, and have a cork and cost under $20 a bottle....a couple were $5 a bottle.

And paying a lot for a bottle of wine can get you a wine you don't like.

Never apologize for the price, container, or method of containment of a wine. If you like it, that's all that matters.

If you like sangria, I'm a big fan of Opici. Available in both bottle and box, I prefer box

Another recommendation for Black Box.

We are also fans of Fish Eye - always have one on hand

Another vote for Black Box. Also like Bota Box. I'm a cabernet drinker, so these are red wine recommendations.

When I was doing my garden grocer last time we were in WDW I saw that they had the Black Box- I tried their Chardonnay and was surprised that it wasn't bad!

Corbett Canyon Chardonnay- no oak,no butter-delicious!

I like the Black Box cab and the Big House white.

Black Box and Bota Box have my vote. Franzia is drinkable.

I was on a box wine kick for a while but never found one I wanted to stick with. I agree with PPs that Black Box wasn't bad and there was another one called Pinot Evil that wasn't bad.

Another vote for Black Box

Black Box and Bota Box. Both red and white. Franzia is nasty. Would rather have bottled wine, but finances say to buy the box. Trader Joes has a box, but I think Black Box and Bota are better.
