Default Wine with your 100LL?

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.

I think the issue was that the wine was in a box. I haven't tried any

but there have been at least two articles in the papers over the year

positive wine in the box slant.


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

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).

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. :^)

Although I live in PA, I've attended two Virginia state-wide "tent
meeting" tastings--most recently the one last summer near Winchester,
on a terribly hot and humid day. We gave up and left after about 1.5
hours; it was so unbearable.

But before we left we had tasted some excellent wines. I was
surprised that they are even making good wines down in the tidal area
near Williamsburg, which I would have thought the worst place in the
world to try to raise grapes.
