clicky poll: wine consumption/month

2H2L · March 2011

We know my office has a bunch of weirdos, so I need a better population for my scientific study.

I'm glad you didn't ask how beer we go through.....

ACR · March 2011

Now that DH is drinking wine, it's definitely more than it used to be. I'd say we finish off about 3 bottles a week. Though, sometimes that includes providing a glass (or 5) to one of our parents.

I voted 5-8.. we also consume a fair amount of tequila on top of that.:P

christym0606 · March 2011

I voted 1-4, but that's just because I'm a lightweight since pregnancy. You should have seen what I could take down before I got pregnant. Stick out tongue

I voted 5-8, but if we're talking about the big Target box of Pinot Grigio it's less than that. Go ahead, judge, it's damn good wine.

My friend had a wine party and we did a taste test of different wines. He slipped that one in and everyone loved it and had no idea it came from a box!

Real Simple Magazine had a story several years ago about this. They got a whole group of somaliers together and had them taste wines available in both box and bottle form. A crazy small percentage of them could distinguish which glass came from the bottle and which came from the box.

I totally want to try that. (The wine, I mean, not the taste test.) Is it the Target brand box or another brand?

FWIW, wine snobbery leaves me cold. I have an acquaintance that treats anything with a screw top like it's Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill.

Screw tops are now the new way to avoid using corks and makes lots of environmentalists happy. But guessing your acquaintance doesn't care about that. Ha!

I put zero. DH doesn't drink wine (he really only drinks socially.) If I didn't have so many migraines, you can bet your a$$ I would drink a lot more!

Jess.O · March 2011

I love your answers!

re: Target wine cubes-

You can also buy them in single-serve containers. I think they come in a 4 pack.

Best juice box, ever.

fjaril · March 2011

I try, but I can't drink it. We live out here now and I'm going to give it a go at learning to like white wine. Now sparkling whine I can do, but well it doesn't go with everything.

I do love me a bubble bath with some bubbly though

I put 1-4 b/c that's what my hubby polishes off on his own, but not every month.

He also liked the wine cubes.

love the "juice box"!! I might have to try that, I

pinot grigio, too

The brand is called Wine Cube but I don't know any other stores that carry it. Seriously, it's delish. My MIL always buys Bota boxed pinot and this is so much crisper and citrusy. Here's a photo and a more descriptive link of the other flavors below:

ETA: If you buy the big size box it is $17 and equal to 4 bottles of wine, so around $4.25/"bottle" if you think of it that way. Barefoot also makes an AWESOME cheap pinot grigio that you can get (in a bottle, with a cork) at HEB.

I am a Chardonnay drinker. Both barefoot and the cue wine are really good in Chardonnay also! I buy the big bottle of barefoot at HEB.
