I think the issue was that the wine was in a box. .....

Wine in a box...... wine with a screw cap....... won't age properly in a
box...... plastic liner might leave a taste....

OY! How many people go to their local booze shop, buy a $12 bottle of
wine, and leave it in their basement for 7 years? Please!! Wine in a box
is clearly meant for rapid consumption, (at the party tonight, with dinner
tomorrow) and it doesn't amount to a hoot in hell what its packaged in -- it
likely was aged in the same vat. I think part of the resistance among
certain groups is that with economies and efficiencies in distribution as
well as production, decent quality wine will become more easily affordable
to the "lower classes", thus diluting the exclusivity. On the other hand,
to some palates, it may make a real difference. Remember, though, we're
all bozos on this bus! Jay (and I) like the juice of rotting grain, while
others prefer the juice of rotting fruit. Can anyone truly explain this?

Merry Christmas!
