As a winemaker and future commercial wine producer I am seriously going to look at it as part of our available closures. I think it has tremendous green marketing potential if we can maintain varietal quality and consistentcy and minimize oxidative spoils. Cheers! Hey Jason,et al.,

Thanks

BUT I am willing to try anything twice (the first time might be a dud) so I will venture out and pick up a few boxes (that feels weird to say/type) to taste. Thanks for the recommendation and the liquid bravery. Jona I must admit that I haven’t tried a boxed wine since the early days and it left a bad taste in my mouth (pun intended).

Some consumers will use them for a a few weeks as everyday sippers, but I agree that they're better suited to larger events. We shouldn't also ignore the fact that the quality of this stuff is so far beyond what would have been available only a few years ago in a box in the U.S. No substitute for a classic wine and never will be, but certainly I think they have their place.

I still crack a smile every time I see it on the shelf with the label of Carlo holding a bunch of grapes. Some good times came out of those bottles!

Everyone I know who has had it says the Silver Birch is THE home run of the boxed wine world right now. I wanted to prove that actual premium wines could be packaged in boxes with my blog series, and I truly believe that wine alone has proven it for me. Many thanks for the link and shoutout, man. Always a good read on your end! Absolutely. Everyone I know who has had it says the Silver Birch is THE home run of the boxed wine world right now.
