The Box is Back!

I know box wine has a bad rap but some box wines are very good. Box wine are not only good, they are a great value. First the price, a 3-liter box wine is equal to 4-750ml bottles of wine. Let's do the math. Say you have a 3-liter of box wine for $10.99 that is equal to $2.75 per 750ml a great value! Also box wine are shelf stable up to 5-weeks! Inside the box is a bladder which contracts while each glass of wine is poured. No air comes in contact with the wine which is a huge problem if you don't drink a full bottle of wine after you open it. Unless you have a pump or other method of getting the air out of the bottle. Franzia has been the staple box wine but we have some great wines like Bota Box. We have a large selection of box wine in our store so stop in and check it out. We are always here to help.
