I know, I seem to have an unhealthy love of boxed wine. This may be true, but it comes from the heart. I am writing another article about it for quite a different reason; there is a new generation of boxed wine and it can be found at Target.
I was taking a leisurely stroll through the store, heading towards the bottled water, when I passed through the beer and wine aisle. There, on the right-hand side, three rows up where several red and yellow boxes of wine. They average about 5″x5″ and claim to hold two bottles of wine. Offerings include: cabernet, syrah, chardonnay, and sauvignon blanc.
Fortunately for the “Wine Cube” Company, but unfortunately for me, I purchased a Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz box-o-wine. Just because its a little trendier looking and could possibly be taken to an up-scale tailgate, doesn’t mean it tastes good. Bottom line: I finished the box, but won’t buy another one.
I wish my Target was legally allowed to carry wine. I usually go to Target to grab soda and candy before I go to the movies, so this would just be an added bonus that would increase my viewing pleasure.
