Premium Box Wine: It's not an Oxymoron!
It's hard for me to believe, but recently I bought wine in a box. On purpose. Just to have around the house.
This is slightly embarrassing because I used to make fun of mom for her wine in a box drinking.
In my defense, boxed wine has improved greatly over the past couple of years, and is a great choice if you like to have a glass or two with dinner but can't finish a whole bottle in a sitting.
This lens is dedicated to this kind of premium box wine, how to identify it and where to buy it.
