As always its not the container, it’s what’s put in it that counts. A grower friend of mine puts the same wine in the box as he does in the bottle. His view is that as long as you drink it within 6 months you can’t tell the difference.

The Cabernet Sauvignon /Shiraz is pretty good. Better than many I’ve had at restaurants.

does anyone have any suggestions as to which boxed wines are the best?

Wine in a box isn’t that bad…
We french have been drinking this for a long time, and you can easily find some very nice wine in a box, sometimes better than some bottles.

Excellent wines are only packaged in bottles, yet that doesn’t mean that wine not packaged in a bottle is bad

I think an American being a wine purist is an oxymoron. Europeans drink it is all types of containers and don’t think twice about it. Wine is wine…and the “purists” drink it out of a glass…regardless of where it came from.

Keep trying boxed wine. It’s cheaper and they are actually starting to put good wine in it. 5 years…50% of wine sold will be in a box and no one will use a cork.

Hey, some boxed wine is actually quite good. In the US, box wine has a reputation as being cheap junk, but in other countries wine boxes are far more popular – easy to pour a glass, and it will stay fresh for a month (vs. a few days in a partially consumed bottle). My initial experience with Target’s Wine Cube (the 2003 Shiraz) was just fair, but the line has a good reputation overall.
