can we talk about box wines?

*Lu-Lu**Lu-Lu*
in Parenting

doesn't target sell some that are fairly decent?  How long is the wine good once the box is opened?  My H does not drink wine, so I rarely buy it.  And, if I do buy a bottle, I feel like it goes bad before I can drink it all.  I think I remember a conversation about boxed wine a while ago.  Any recommendations?  Thanks!

    We can't buy wine anywhere but a designated liquor store in my state (SUPER annoying) but when I've been out of state I've bought wine cubes from Target.  I like it.  I'm no wine snob, for sure, but I bought the Pinot Grigio and it was definitely decent.

    I can't remember how many bottle it is equivalent to...1.5 maybe?  Anyway, it is good for quite a while in the fridge after it is opened--like, weeks.

    I'm jealous of anyone who can buy those.

    I still prefer bottle, but we've recently gotten some decent box / barrel of wine that are good for up to 40days in the fridge... again, nothing amazing but not too bad. I was nursing up until a few months ago and my H isn't a huge wine guy so the bottles were going bad b/c I'd just always have 1 glass or so...  Sorry, I don't have a specific rec but we're fans of the general concept! :)

    Target's aren't bad, and they're definitely cost-effective.  I've had some pretty decent boxed wines and prefer to buy them when I know we're not going to be drinking a whole bottle in one evening.

    I like the box wines for when I want a glass here & there.  They are usually equal to 4 bottles & say they stay fresh for 4 weeks, but I've definitely had them for longer (in the fridge) and they were fine.

     For red, I am liking Black Box (Cab I think). It's pretty popular now & I see it in most liquor stores

    For white, Black Box also (pinot grigio is good), and Fish Eye.

    They're also convenient for cooking when a recipe calls for a small amount of wine.

    I have yet to try them (but are meaning to for the same reasons as you).  A friend recommended the black box ones as well.  Let us know what you think if you try them!

    I can't get over the fact that some of you can buy wine in Target. I'm so jealous!

    LOVE the Target Wine Cubes.  They have two sizes, and they are good for four weeks.  (I drink red, so I don't keep it in the fridge.)

    Love them.

    oooh glad to know our target sells them.  I'm not sure why this idea just occurred to me.  I'm a red girl, too.   Thanks everyone!

    We are not so fortunate to have wine in our Target, but Black Box is my go to for box wines.  Yum!
