    No, but possibly an alcoholic.

    Nothing classier than drinking out of a box.

    Didn't realise you could still get boxes of wine.
    We used to get them years ago.

    Not much of a wine drinker though so i doubt i'd tell the difference once it was in a glass!

    I take the bag of wine out of the box and bring it to festivals, wine might be a bit **** but its easily transportable.

    I find a box of wine is much more enjoyable while sitting in a gutter while raining. A funny cardboard sign asking for spare change just adds to the aroma for some reason!

    If it's a good wine, the quality is the same as it is from a bottle. There's no difference at all - except the price & the increased chance of getting extremely bladdered.

    The boxes are grand, I brought back a van load from Cherbourg last year & they tasted fine.
    Just generic stuff like Shyrah or Merlot, nothing high class comes in a box.
    The were only 2 issues, firstly you hadn't a clue how much you'd drank & secondly, there was always loads of grit in the last bit you squeeze out of the bag while denying your alcoholism.
    Happy memories.

    Wine boxes usually have a best before date on them, so a little tip is to check the date, not many staff know they have a date so they arse up the rotation on the shelf. If there out of date you might try pointing it out to a Manager and see if you can get him to knock them down to next to nothing.
