Not much of a wine drinker myself, but my wife is somewhat of a wine connoisseur and she likes Black Box as well as Bota Box. She drinks merlot these days but she also likes cab sav as well as red blends. That bag in a box is equal to 3 bottles of wine.

Bota is 4 bottles/box. Are Black Boxes smaller?

Used to drink a lot of "wine" in the very early days of Saturday Night Live........."Boones Farm"
A bunch of us used to get together in the middle 70s - eat pizza, watch SNL and drink a case of Boones Farm....Never got drunk once on that rot-gut. Tasted pretty good though..... I drank a good amount of Wine in Germany and France - never developed a taste for it, though. I have always had a love affair with German Beer, though. Not that crap that is imported into the US - the REAL stuff....the 12% Beer...it'll grow hair on your back.. |

I keep a box of cab in the garage fridge and use it pretty much exclusively for cooking. It's Bota. I use it for most of my red sauces, called for or not.

Oh, you're right. I was thinking 3 liters. Each bottle would be 750ml X 4 equals 3 liters.

Don't make fun of boxed wine unless you've had this which is great from Trader Joe's

Their whites are good, too.
This is my getting drunk wine when you don't want to open a bunch of expensive bottles and they pass the quantity test. |

I have read that boxed wine is a new trend for some good wine. How do you store it for those two weeks? Do you refrigerate it? |

The nice thing about those boxed wines is that there is a tap or spout, if you will. It keeps the wine fresh. My wife drinks reds and never refrigerates hers. Of course, hers doesn't last two weeks.
