Wine in a BOX or in a Bottle

[hmm]

Hello all

I recently went to pick up a bottle of wine when i spotted the wine in a box. NOT to be confused with Whine - NEVER MIND

BUT anyway - WHICH do you perfer the old fashion recycleable wine bottle or the newer packaging of cardboard?



hmm - things to ponder

[squisher]

I prefer beer in a bottle.:D

[OTGBOSTON]

I prefer beer in a bottle.:D

I prefer it outta a tap;)

[hmm]

WELL YA -- Beer in a bottle is the ONLY way, well unless you have a keg, Dark and cold.

BUT this is a wine question.

[squisher]

I don't know if I've ever had wine outta a box. If it's cheaper than the box is probably better. :lol:

[OTGBOSTON]

BUT this is a wine question.

Well then, wine is for the french................ and fruits:D

[RIVERRAT]

I am not aware of any wine in a box that would compare with some of the better bottled stuff

[hmm]

GEE thanks - and you don't even know me and you are calling me a fruit.

I would have accepted strange, But not a fruit

[squisher]

So you're not french?

Ahh we're just kidding around.

As far as I know Riverrat is correct box wine doesn't compare.

[OTGBOSTON]

GEE thanks - and you don't even know me and you are calling me a fruit.

I would have accepted strange, But not a fruit

Oh, sorry if I offended. I'm from Boston, it is in my nature to be offensive.......:)

[Skwerl]

I'm not a drinker but I hear Wal Mart has their own brand of wine in a box.

[sawinredneck]

The box stuff is the same as the stuff in the bottle, just more of it and cheaper.
If you like the cheaper wines, than you won't tell the difference. If you like the fine wines, don't waste you're time.

I buy my booze in bulk so it's a no brainer for me:)

[hmm]

THANK - NO offense take, I have calisus so a bit HARD

BUT I do agree with GOOD wine - that can only come in a bottle - BUT the buck three eight five wines that you want for yourself for IF I may say, a quick swig, with your own dinner.

Have you find a wine in a box? FISH EYE is somewhat ok - but what about others? they are in 3 lt boxes and price is ok compared to the same amount in a bottle.

Enviroment wise - is the bottle a small carbon foot print then the box? Location location location

THANK

Heh I drink a little wine now and then, almost only red. I don't drink much wine but when I do I like a good red.


And it always comes out of a bottle.:D


Now brew on the other hand. Dark, light, green, mean, I'll drink it if it's beer.

[RIVERRAT]

hmm, have we met? Your wording seems to be familiar? You also mentioned in your post one of my biggest vices from my past. Also you redid the quote in your post & placed my name in the place of Gregs......Oh & sorry if you are a dudette:lol:

[Paul B]

bottle. no question. time in the glass gives wine the bouquet, so says my pops in law who has been making wine (yes from grapes and yeast, carboys, oak barrels and the lot) for about 50 years. But I dont drink a lot of wine to be honest, 10 bottles or so a year would be about my intake. a glass here and there, not all at once of course ;)

[top hopper]

Also you redid the quote in your post & placed my name in the place of Gregs......Oh & sorry if you are a dudette:lol:


Actually, she quoted me, and I had accidentally used your name instead of Greg's. I fixed my post after she quoted me.
Sorry for the mix up, Greg! er ah, Jeff!

The first time I ever saw wine in a box,Big Dave Nieger was drinking it . I about died laughing.Here is this giant of a man sipping wine from a little glass .

Something didn't quite seen right .I'd have figured beer right from the keg,no glass needed .Shows you how much I know .:lol:

Chateau le box....

Headache!

[sawinredneck]

Chateau le box....

Headache!

Wine period for me= headache!!

So I can try and get this straight, I'm a bit confused (I haven't been drinking yet:lol:)
hmm is a female, and Jeff thinks he knows her:?
Top thinks he is secure in his manhood:/:
And wine in a box is good if you drink heavy, but no bouqet?
About right?
Man, I need a drink after that!

[MasterBlaster]

And you actually climb! :rockon:

[hmm]

Yes I do.

I have also been able to log two climbs over 100 foot in the past month with some TALENTED lead climbers helping me achive that goal. I even have started to take a pruning saw with me and I hope to learn more about proper pruning. I'll be at the 2009 Southern TCC in LA - so maybe i'll Buy you a beer.

So, I can do the three C's - Cook, Clean and Climb.

an added plus is i have a pickup, a kayak BUT alas no chainsaw.

I hauled two boxes of wine up El Cap..........it was good. I ain't no wine snob, we were just looking for a buzz after gettin' skeered all day..

[MasterBlaster]

Did Reed swipe your password? :what:

[hmm]

...as long as the carboard/plastic/glass is recycled.

All attempts are made here to be AS GREEN AS I can be. i do recycle, have a mulch pile and conserve in manners that i have controll over.

I was considering visiting the local winery, YES there are winery in Georgia, but i have sampled their products and I do not care for the selections.

TOAST TO ALL

hmm

what is next? BEER:big-piano:

[Al Smith]

Well now that you mentioned it beer is an interesting subject.Like coffee you can only rent beer,it only stays for so long ya know .

On the subject of conservation and being "green" the water that goes into making beer really never goes any place,just recycled ,sort of .

For example the water that made the Bud I had last night most likely came from Columbus Ohio . The residue of same most likely will end up in lake Erie .
It could evaporate and get drawn into a cloud,of which could migrate over Atlanta Georgia or Littleton Colorado .If conditions are right,it could rain on somebodys parade thus sending a gift from myself to those I greatly admire .;)

Than that water can be used to Make Sweetwater Brew - Georgia Brown and we Atlanta beer lovers can start the recycle process again.

THANK for sharing Beer Water around the world.

[squisher]

Well piss on you too Al!:P


:lol:

[RIVERRAT]

Well piss on you too Al!:P


:lol: You are just busting my gut:lol:

[hmm]

That gives a new meaning to Yellow Rain

[Al Smith]

Well piss on you too Al!:P


:lol: Well,that cloud could make up your way also.You just never know,ya know .;)

There are good wines out of a box. Haven't had a great one yet.

Most people cannot tell a good wine from a good piss. Since we were on the subject.

I will respectful disagree about the carbon footprint of glass vs. cardboard. It takes much less energy to recycle cardboard and to make it initially.

:lol: True, ever had Grappa? :lol: that stuff will curl your stomach into a knot.

[Al Smith]

I can't honestly say that I can compair piss to whine having had no known experiance in the taste of the former .:P

[stig]

bottle. no question. time in the glass gives wine the bouquet, so says my pops in law who has been making wine (yes from grapes and yeast, carboys, oak barrels and the lot) for about 50 years.

I disagree, The main thing that makes wine mature in the bottle, is oxidation through the bottle.
Since the object with most modern types of white wine is to avoid oxidation at any cost, to preserve freshness and fruit, white wine would do better in an airtight box than in a bottle( unless it is a screwtop).
That winemaker choose to only put the lesser wines in boxes is another matter.
Any red wine that needs maturing, would in my opinion do better in a bottle, for the same reason.
The lesser reds, the more fruity types, made to be drunk here and now, will be just as good in a box, but here again, the winemakers bottle the better ones.

Conclusion, if you are looking for something to drink, buy a box. If you want to savour, get a bottle.
Also just plonking a box down on the table,instead of carefully opening a bottle, takes some ( all ) of the romance out of drinking wine, in my opinion.

[Canuck]

If its worth my time to drink it, you won't find it in a box. Otherwise I'd just prefer a good beer or a good vodka soda.
