I have discovered that boxed wine is not what it used to be. There is some really respectable boxed wine. I have also discovered a major problem with boxed wine. You can not tell how much you have had to drink when it's from a box. Drinking from a bottle you can easily see just how much has been taken out of the bottle. The box (being equivalent of 4 bottles) is not transparent so the gage is not there. Not an insurmountable problem but a great excuse for drinking just a little too much. LOL
