Wine with your 100LL?

Now tell me how many folks
keep wine in their hanger. For medicinal purposes only, I'm sure.

Is there something wrong with keeping wine in your hangar???

We keep a fridge full of beer at ours all the time... An adult beverage
after a beautiful flight is, well, lovely.

I think the issue was that the wine was in a box. I haven't tried any yet,
but there have been at least two articles in the papers over the year with a
positive wine in the box slant.

Really? Do you recall the positive points raised in the article?

1. The ability to consume it in volume.
2. Easy to pour after you've consumed it in volume
3. No glass to break after you've consumed it in volume
4. Nobody gets stabbed with the cork screw after you've...
5. After you've CIIV, you don't care if it came in a box.

Actually, the ability to consume it =not= in volume. Since air makes
wine go bad, if you can prevent air from getting in, it's always fresh,
even if you only have half a glass today and half a glass three months
from today.

I don't think a bottle of wine has lasted more than three hours after
opening, never mind 3 months. 8^)

Well, I guess if people hate wine so much that they would open a bottle and
drink only a glass or two in the space of three months, they deserve to drink
the crap that comes in boxes. Conversely, if they buy a box of wine, they
probably would get into the habit of drinking it very slowly (if at all).

Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to
your slightly older self.

A couple of places that I've dined at let's us keep our unfished
bottles in their wine cellar(chilled icebox) for when we come back next
time. If recorked and stored in such a way that the cork stays wet,
wine actually keeps for awhile... :^)

Last time I was in France, I filled two suite cases with wine in
bottles wrapped in my shirts, pants, in socks...etc. The customs guy
could tell that the suite cases were VERY heavy the way I carried them
and he asked me what was in the suite cases and I responsed, "A bunch
of wine..." with a smile and he didn't even bothered to open the suit
cases. This was prior to 9-11.

Most times I can only do at most two or three glasses at a sitting, my
wife however can keep on truckin' when it comes to drinking wine. :^)

Here in Northern Virginia, there are several (maybe thirty) vineyards
that are open for wine tasting in the summer and when we go visit those
places, I'm the desinated driver. :^)

Something about low wing drivers liked the box because it could be set on
the wing and made for easy dispensing. :-)

Not being a wine aficionado, I've never understood the snobbery regarding
"wine in a box".

Is it not possible to have a fine wine that happens to be packaged in a
modern, convenient container? Does the plastic lining make it taste funny
(like the original plastic containers did with milk)?

We seldom have wine in the house, but for parties those fridge-sized boxes
are a marvelous invention.
