I guess if it really were more cost-effective for wineries and it did not have any negative effects on the wine, then you would think that wineries would release more wine in boxes. I guess , especially for small wineries, that the cost of investing in new packaging equipment would be a major expense. But I do believe that I would buy boxed wine from my favorite wineries if it were available and I felt that the taste was not compromised in any way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08555996261690864999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18546171.post-1136833403357361502006-01-09T14:03:00.000-05:002006-01-09T14:03:00.000-05:00The first (of only a few) time I had boxed wine wa...The first (of only a few) time I had boxed wine was when I was in El Salvador in the 90s and it seemed the most expedient and cheap way to get a lot of wine for a group of people. Since I didn't care about vintage or keeping it long (I was just thankful we had cold water for our showers!) I wasn't too picky. <BR/><BR/>I'll add that I haven't looked at a boxed wine since. Now, if one of my favorite wineries came out with a box--say Robert Sinskey or Silver Thread--I'd entertain the idea--but probably for picnics and potlucks only.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
