If I want to have a glass of wine with my dinner so fucking be it. Tired of this boxed wine shit that I see almost in every college girls house apartment...


ALRIGHT FOLKS BEN FRANKLIN IS ROUGHING IT

The boxes of wine are there to break the ice. If those girls didn't get drunk first they wouldn't come within a thousand miles of the dick head worthless meat heads like you wondering campuses today and whose numbers are of such profusion they would otherwise never have sex. I mean, just look what a little wind did to your head.
 
make sure the girl has:

macbook air
iphone (latest)
ipod (latest)

then you wont have to worry about cheapass box wine!

i drink about a bottle a week and it gets a little /off/ by the 7th day.... you're saying box wine keeps better? good news to me. and if it's cheaper that's even more awesome. I buy the cheapest wine i can get...$1.99, that's my drink right there and i get 10% off when i buy 6! good for a month and a half!

i'm not a 'wine' guy, but it's off after a day or two for me.

the box keeps better because the wine is in a bad sealed without air. no way to get the air out of a bottle once you've pulled the cork out and drank some.

i do remember seeing some kind of stopper system that used disposable bags to displace the air in the bottle. dunno if that's still around.

Yes, the taste is very bitter to me and my super tastebuds. :sneaky:

if i drink wine it has to be sweet, and then just a glass. i'd rather beer.

Maybe i have super tastebuds too. It tastes like rotten juice to me. Like someone left their glass of grape juice in the sun for 3 weeks and then I'm supposed to drink it. I'd rather not. My gf is the same way though so we have a wine free household:thumbsup:

boxed wine is good if you don't drink much wine but want to keep it around.

Conversely, it's also good if you're a raging alcoholic. The savings over bottled wine are tremendous.

Most definitely.
 
All I have to say is that Côtes-du-Rhône Vin Rouge comes in a box, Mad Dog 20/20 comes in a bottle. Maybe you are using too broad a brush.

If a boxed wine has a vintage it's probably better, and the cotes-du-rhone is outside the norm for boxed wine.

For those saying they drink boxed wine because it stays longer then you're doing it wrong, the only reason I see of drinking your standard supermarket boxed wine is if you want to drink swill to get you drunk.

I've had the bota box and banrock station, and they're not bad. They stay longer because they never come into contact with air, which is obviously not the case with bottles.
 
i was looking for the system i was thinking of and found this- anyone ever used it or similar?

seems like it should be affordable and fairly effective. you spray the gas in the bottle and then seal it- afaik the spray is mostly inert argon, which settles on the surface of the wine and provides an oxygen barrier (obviously you have to store the bottle vertically).

A lot of wine people buy what is called a vacu-vin, which is similar.
 
are you talking about a pump?

it's pretty hard to achieve a true 'vacuum' on a solid container, so i've always assumed those to be marginal at best. any personal experience?
