I like the idea of box wines … eco-friendly … but most of all I like a glass now-and-then … not a whole bottle. As a beginner, currently I like Franz – Chillable Red … but I’m looking for a little better quality in a red, full-bodied, fruity, semi-sweet/dry wine. Any suggestions ???

I have to admit: my wine repertoire is rather shabby. I am the “Arbor Mist Girl” that you were years ago…

Ooops, I meant Banrock Station Chardonnay.

I’m also a recent fan of the box wine. I love love LOVE the Hardy’s Stamp Chardonnay for all the reasons you mention. I am a Pinot Grigio fan, and now I keep a box of it in my fridge at all times.

I also agree with the Shiraz recommendation.

And this is one of the biggest reasons I love keeping a box in my fridge – Wine for Cooking Is Right at Your Fingertips.

Great write up, Amy! Very thorough.

Although it’s not a boxed wine, this is a FABULOUS beginner wine: Bricco Riella Moscato Di’ Asti. It’s delicious! It is light-bodied, sweet, bubbly, and wonderful. Enjoy!

We've been doing box wine for the past few months too! One box (white zinfandel) if for my aunts who visit sporadically and a merlot and a pinot grigio are for cooking and an occasional treat!

So funny to read that you can even buy wine in Target. Here in New York State you can only buy wine at liquor stores. Our choices of boxed wine, even at the larger stores, seem somewhat limited.

Cheers!

I don’t drink wine, but wine boxes are a much greener way to go than glass. They are “easier” to make and less difficult, less packaging to ship. And, as you mentioned, they can be recycled! This is a great post!
