Wine In a Box

OK, I saw this last night:

I was cruising the wine area of my local cheap ass grocery store. I'm like, what is that milk? vegetable broth? No, it was wine. WTF? This is just weird. This is how milk and juice is packaged in other countries. Broth comes in these boxes here. Wine?

"Excuse me, Tackmeister? Hook me up with a box of your best vintage Merlot, thanks."

Anyway, I bought this shit because of this:


What that has to do with wine, I have no idea, but I like the idea. I often buy wines based on witty or amusing labels, rather than actual quality. Yeah, well, like I said, I've apparently fallen a long way from Europe. Also, it was on sale.

Don't squat with your spurs on, folks.

Good advice.

And as someone who is a complete whore for packaging, I woulda bought it, too. What store? I gotta get me some broth wine!
