I tried a boxed wine (so you don't have to!). My review below:

6. That's fine on a wine list in a restaurant ...

... not so easy on the aisles in a market.



Particularly when their wine knowledge is limited to red/meat, white/fish, rose if they aren't sure about which goes for meat or fish. Who don't know what QMP, DOC or AC mean, or what the significance of areas mean, I've had some pretty average Sonomas, Napa's, or what varietals do better where - Shiraz in Australia, Tempranillo in Spain, Sangiovese in Texas, Merlot in Argentina. A good box or jug wine is a good start that won't break a bank or disappoint.

I've seen labels that say everything I'd want to see on a label that were plonk.
