I'm saving on groceries, clothing, other expenses, but haven't saved a dime on the wine. I used to think boxed wine was for losers. I'm so excited to know that more and more growers will consider the box.From Bottle to Boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16690372371233639224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750744744544363949.post-14786943117654705792008-08-27T09:04:00.000-07:002008-08-27T09:04:00.000-07:00The main problem I have with 'boxes' is that in or...The main problem I have with 'boxes' is that in order for the stuff to ship properly; the amount of SO2 has to go way up. <BR/>The wine is less protected by the plastic bag+box. Excess SO2 beats the wine up a lot and ultimately effects the taste (although, I suppose we could decant the wine from the 'boxes' before serving?)<BR/><BR/>(NB: I am not against SO2)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750744744544363949.post-22508858836868365392008-08-20T09:40:00.000-07:002008-08-20T09:40:00.000-07:00*snicker* You said "box".*snicker* <BR/>You said "box".mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06267437800269711818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750744744544363949.post-41827490772302720992008-08-18T10:27:00.000-07:002008-08-18T10:27:00.000-07:00All about the boxed wine.

When I came back to the states I learned that most retailers/buyers were afraid to take the plunge into the high quality boxed wine market. But I hope and truly believe we should embrace this method. Cheers! And thanks for the thoughtful post....Michael D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07742128807651888242noreply@blogger.com
