Who buys those 4 liter jugs of wine that cost $8?

[JVS]

How big a family do you need to drain that thing?

[SnowGoose]

1. Boxes are where it's at...

bottles are for weenies.

[Hillary08]

29. Boxes are IT!

Especially since you can pull out the mylar bag, and ditch the box. Very compact and lightweight MEGA bottle of the vino!

[Menshevik]

2. Shrub, of course n/t

[sundog]

3. The local bank uses them at their yearly Christmas party

tacky as hell

[BikeWriter]

4. ROFLOL! I've bought the Gallo ones. The Burgundy is not bad...

...and I think there's a blush that's good.

[JVS]

5. I bought the Burgundy last night, Carlo Rossi

I bought it almost out of curiousity and because even if I throw away a good amount of it it is still a better deal than equivalent wine in small bottles. How long is a bottle good for? How many people should split it?

[bleedingheart]

7. This sounds like the makings of a steeler party ....

[JVS]

8. Go Stillers!

I definitely plan to have the Jug handy for the game!

[BikeWriter]

23. Hee hee hee! I never have to worry about it going bad.

Hell, why share, unless it's someone good looking?

[notadmblnd]

6. I know people who buy cheap white wine like that for cooking.

they go through a lot.

[kick-ass-bob]

9. Hey. you gotta do whatchya gotta do.

[hickman1937]

10. Garbage can parties. n/t

[JVS]

11. I was guessing that winos would get together and divy it up

[hickman1937]

13. LOL! I didn't think of that.

I was thinking of the garbage can parties from college.

[BBradley]

12. My friends and I used to buy those before we got jobs...

:evilgrin:

[MISSDem]

14. Some of the less expensive wine tastes

better than the expensive stuff, IMHO.

[JVS]

15. I'll agree with you there

My question is really more geared towards the massive quantity than any cheapness

[TXlib]

18. There are some very nice Aussie wines in a box

I've seen 3-l boxes of very good merlot and shiraz from Australia. The nice thing about the boxed wines is that they are in a collapsible mylar bag with a dripless tap, so they don't oxydise. They're also quite a bit cheaper than buying 4 bottles.

Before a party, pour the wine into a crystal decanter, and surprise the crap out of people when they rave about the wine, and you show them the box! :evilgrin:

[JVS]

19. How long will an open box last before going bad?

[TXlib]

20. Indefinitely.

As long as an unopened bottle of the same wine would last, stored in the same conditions.

[JVS]

22. Sounds like the way to go

[TXlib]

16. They're pretty good for making sangria

all you need is cheap, palatable wine for that.

[LoZoccolo]

17. I'm Sicilian, so I'm allowed to call Carlo Rossi by it's real name.

But yeah, we'd have like six adults at least at Thanksgiving. You can screw the top back on so you'd take a while to go through it, like two days.

[KurtNYC]

21. 2 chinese restaurants by me

give you all the free wine you can drink with dinner (or lunch, not that I would know). Big boxes. It DOES avoid letting air into the container so the open wine keeps a little longer.

[HEyHEY]

24. Depends on the ethnicity of your family

[JVS]

25. Do you have a chart or something that I can check?

[HEyHEY]

26. I can tell you straight up

If you have an Irish/UK/Eastern European/Scandanavian blood...you'll be fine and that box will be nothing more than a warm up.

[JVS]

27. What about German?

[HEyHEY]

30. I suppose - it is Northern Europe

[Dirk39]

34. Doesn't work...

Germans buy "Gran Reserva" in 0,75 liter bootles for 2 Euro 99 at Lidl or Aldi (the german Walmart). It's piss mixed with mouseshit that survived three years in an oak barrel.
But it's an oak barrel, we're not Americuuuuns, we have culture!

Searching for the forth bottle I did buy at Lidl yesterday,

35. Menschen deutscher Herkunft sollen Bier trinken

[Dirk39]

36. Halt den Mund,

I drink beer,
O.K. I will survive, but I'm just into sorrow deep, because of my fellow american brothers and sisters: what should they drink and eat, if it's not allowed to steal from good old Europe?
No wine, no pasta, no potatatoes, no Hamburgers, no Hot Dogs (Frankfurter untill WW1), no Freedom Fries (french fries until WWIII), no Pizza, no Sandwichs, no Suschi!

Just steaks that weigh a pound? But did Americans even invented steaks???

I don't know, I need a beer!

Dirk

[JVS]

37. Potatoes are not from Europe

[Dirk39]

38. O.K., OK.

1565 Spain (orignally from Chile etc.)
1600 France, Great Britain, Italy Frankreich, England und Italien.
1630 Germany
But the French did just accept Potatoes around 1789, when the Jacobiners did win the revolution!)

By the way, why do you interfere in the comming wars within Europe, before finishing your own wars?
Are you afraid we don't export any 8 liter jugs or other culture gods to you to keep you entertained.

Tell me the truth!
Dirk

[JVS]

39. Nimm's leichter! Trink noch eine Mass Gerstensaft

[Dirk39]

42. In Ordnung:

Du hast mich unter den Tisch getrunken! Ich gebe auf!
(Is there any kind of american idiom like this: You did drink me under the table!" ?

You got it!

But the french simply don't know potatoes, they call them "pommes de terre" (Apples of Earth).


Unter den Tisch getrunken von einem 8-Liter Beutel!
Dirk

[JVS]

43. Erdapfel und Pferdapfel soll man lieber nicht verwechseln

Yeah, we say "You drank me under the table"

[Dirk39]

45. O.K. I tell you the truth!

I loooove good beer like the origninal, the true Budweiser, not that shit that's sold in the USA under that stolen and colonized name, and some german beer, but most of all: I love spanish Rioja. Leave me alone Italy, I buy enough of your espresso anyway, leave me alone France, you're too expensive until it's getting really expensive: best bang for the buck: Spanish Rioja!
BTW: I don't have to justify myself, I was in hell: when I did visit Cincinatti long ago, I did eat White Castle Hamburgers. I did it. I really did it. I WAS in hell. Everything else will be an improvement!
But I still miss Cincinatti!
Dirk

[JVS]

28. Ladies and Gentlemen

The jug is empty.

[HEyHEY]

31. Well done my German friend

[JVS]

32. Grandma was a bitter old Swede!

A minnesotan too

[HEyHEY]

33. Gufstason?

[Dirk39]

44. You're one of those old Europe style intellectuals and pessismists...

It's just not that filled anymore.

You envy progressive gay liberal leftist femminist will ruin your country, god, all values and the next Loft I wanna buy.
Dirk

[Floogeldy]

40. Lots of people

[Guaranteed]

41. Poor college students

having a good time...

Damn...the memories...

[AlienGirl]

46. People who cook with it!

The rose is really good in sauces, and not bad to drink, either!
