Wine in a box
I know the concept of 'wine in a box' is anathema to most purists but can anyone recommend any of them? Red, preferably.

Wine in a box - the great Aussie Handbag.
Once you've consumed all the wine, the plastic bladder inside the box makes a great pillow on which to lay your aching head. A fantastic piece for any late night party.
The Lindemans varieties are good.

I like this stuff - Stanley. My local bottlo does a 2 for $18 dollars deal each month. That's 8 litres of wine and it's not bad at all.
PS did you know wine in a box is known as "goon" and a wine and cheese party in Australia is referred to as a "coon and goon" party after Coon cheese.

Best part was blowing the silver insert up and using it as a cheap pool toy - my parents really treated us as kids - we got a new pool toy each week!
Best tricks was sucking warm, rancid wine from the spout whilst swimming round the pool!
Oh the memories of being 8!
