I was at Target today, 'cause, you know, I like to hang out there. They have these wine cubes (read: boxed wine) which I really like. I have a pretty good palate for beer, but I have no idea when it comes to wine. I can drink just about any wine (as long as it's red) and enjoy it. What's great about boxed wine is that it's cheap and it doesn't go bad too quickly. The Target cubes are about 16 dollars and carry the equivalent of 4 standard wine bottles. It's no 2 buck chuck, but it does the job. Another added bonus is that boxed wine is really a bag of wine in a box, i.e. instant Bota Bag, handy for parties and dreary family gatherings!
Here's a picture of a cube in action on my fridge...
Anyway, I was at Target today walking past the wine section when what do I see? A big display at the end of the row of red and white sangria wine cubes. Does this seem kind of silly? Sangria is a cinch to make and there's no such thing as sangria wine - it's just whatever cheap wine you have around. Granted, boxed wine is the perfect low end stuff to make sangria, but at least when you make sangria with boxed Merlot, you know you're drinking Merlot...
On a side note, Target is marketing wine juice boxes under the same wine cube label. Amazing, right? I think I want to take this to work when I brown bag it. It'd be the best lunch ever....
