Personally, I'm a Jim Beam / beer person if I'm ever drinking, but I know some of you like boxed wine so... According to Wikipedia: A box wine (cask wine or boxed wine) is wine packaged in a bag-in-box. Wine is contained in a plastic bladder typically with an air-tight valve emerging from a protective corrugated fiberboard box. It serves as an alternative to traditional wine bottling in glass with a cork or synthetic seal. It is sometimes called goon,[1] and goon bag[2] in Australia. In 1967 Australian inventor Charles Malpas and Penfolds Wines patented a plastic, air-tight tap welded to a metallised bladder, making storage more convenient. All modern wine casks now use some sort of plastic tap, which is exposed by tearing away a perforated panel on the box. For the next decades bag in a box packaging was primarily preferred by producers of less expensive wines as it is cheaper to fabricate and distribute than glass bottles. In 2003 California Central Coast AVA–based Black Box Wines introduced mass premium wines in a box, which served to overturn the stereotype that box wines are an alternate packing on inexpensive jug wine. Within the decade premium wineries and bottlers began packaging their own high-quality boxed wine, including French rabbit, Bandit Wines, Octavin, Target, and hundreds of others. This coupled with an increased cultural interest in environmentally sustainable packaging has cultivated growing popularity with affluent wine consumers.[5] It's called "goon" in some places...coincidentally, we are goons...fascinating! |

According to this image, boxed wine is by far the most economically efficient way to get drunk! Great for weddings and such. Want to be fancy? Pour it into fancy bottles! They'll never know the difference...maybe! |

Hell, there's even a game centered around boxed wine, called Slap the Bag! Fun for the whole family! Now before you guys get all flustered over me sourcing Fox News on this, this appears to be a fairly straightforward article. I do not know why this is on Fox News? Step one: Remove bag from box. Do this before you leave home. Or, but a wine that already comes in a bag (genius!) like Clif’s The Climbers Pouch. Step two: Have a friend (or stranger, good bonding experience) hold the bag tightly at just above face level. Yours, not theirs. Step three: Open spigot; chug for as long as you can. Step four: Close spigot; breathe for a second; slap the dickens out of that bag. Step five: Clean wine dribble off your chin/shirt/hut slippers. |

GODSPEED JOHN GLENN posted:I just take the bag out, pop a straw in it and drunk it like a giant Capri sun What's the best straw for this application? I would imagine an extra long smoothie straw, that wide bore to get you goin right, and the length so that it gets down to the bottom of the bag! |

GOON SACK! "Oi, he's still going at it, what a loose oval office." I can tell you that I overindulged with one, and never want to see another goon sack again. That's my story. |
