Boxed Wine is the New Black
Um, has anyone noticed that the new slew of boxed wines are pretty great? If you haven't, I have taken the liberty of testing multiple brands and flavors for your future tasting pleasures.
1.
Black Box: This is the priciest of the bunch, but by far the yummiest. I have enjoyed the Cabernet Sauvignon and it is quite good. It is still out of a box, but certainly no Franzia.
2.
Bota Box: I have tried the Cabernet Savignon and the Old Vine Zinfindel. I enjoy the cabernet more, and neither is as good as the Black Box varieties, but still a good bang for your buck.
3.
Target Cube: 4 bottles of decent wine for the price of one. These are at any Target store and really go the distance and their cube is by far the best packaging.
The biggest selling point to buying boxed wine, you get the equivalent of 4 bottles of wine in one box! All in all, well worth your minimal investment. Great for parties and pretty good with dinner.

oh man this so reminds me of my dad (franzia, the pink kind). i’m going to trust you on this though.
Obsessed with the Bota box Chardonnay–definitley a quality everyday wine!
My boyfriend is a wine rep & he totally agrees with you – boxed wine has come a loooonngggg way
I am really loving Bandit lately… it’s not a traditional box, but a tetra-pak box like OJ. It has a bottle and half in it and a screw top. This is what we are drinking in my house lately!
mmmmmm….black box….
So glad you all are enjoying some boxed wine!
Nobody makes a box of wine quite like Peter Vella. Nobody.
