I have been buying wine in box for some time now, but usually only to give to our chefs for cooking purposes. It is cheaper than large glass bottles, more eco-friendly, less weight and it stacks better in my storeroom! Recently however, I was asked by a friend of mine, if I would drink box wine and I told him that there was NO way, I would be drinking that stuff. He asked me if I ever had tried it and I said yes, about 5 years ago and I really don't want to do that again. He kept talking about how much these wines have improved and how the wine lasts about two weeks once opened et cetera. So long story short,
