But boxes don't have corks.

I've been meaning to go to Target to get some boxed wine, but just haven't gotten around to it. Any recommendations?

Yeah, I've heard you talk about them before. I'm hooked on wine.woot.com but the last two offerings have been a bit too expensive for me. I wonder if a winecube will make me drink less because it stays drinkable longer (so I don't have to rush to finish the bottle in a day or two) or more because it will be always easily accessible?

The cheap stuff was better and longer-lasting than the new "fancy" boxed wines. My roommate bought a box of some cheap chardonnay that last for almost 2 months without going too off. The next time she decided to try a "black box" [blackboxwines.com] of wine and it went south in less than 2 weeks.

My advice: go with the folks who have a long and proud tradition of wine in a box.

it's nice to know...

...you have some water along with all that beer and wine. You must stay hydrated, you know ;-)
