+--- Thread: Wine in a Box (/thread-17072.html)
- jv38 - 07-27-2005
Been reading about Boxed wine lately and I have seen a lot of boxed wine in my supermarket. Some like Delicato and Hardyn. Those wines I tried before (from bottles) and they are not great but not bad for the price.
Did anybody have any experiences with those wines?

I'm familar with the brands, but not their boxes. From what I have heard, you should get the boxes from a moderate to upscale producer which does not include these.

Boxing Roo Shiraz isn't too bad. And the Three Thieves jug wine is pretty darned good.

Some of the best I've seen are Black Box (@$20) for Chard, Merlot and CS and Gravel Mine. GM makes a Pinot Noir that's very nice, but it goes for @$65. Both are 3 liter boxes. Three Thieves calls their box wine Bandit and it's quite nice - in a one liter juice box type container. Hardy's Stamp from Australia is decent juice. Then there's the "other" stuff from folks like Franzia.
