Did you know that 50% of the wine sold in Northern Europe is now in boxes? And that while you wouldn’t want to store wine for aging in a polyethylene bag, the collapse of the bag as you draw wine out does keep the wine fresh enough that you can nurse a box for a week or two without noticeable deterioration?

Won’t you be the first to know, after I get around to opening the box? Didn’t I pick it up at Trader Joe’s for under $10, and haven’t I had pretty good luck with their selections?

So… I opened the box, and while it’s not the finest wine I’ve ever tasted, isn’t it surprisingly decent? Wouldn’t I rank it slightly above Two-Buck Chuck?

How long is it going to take me to drain the box, considering the fact that I’m the only one in the house who’s going to be drinking it, and it’s supposed to be the equivalent of two regular bottles?

It’s called Three-Buck Chuck now, if that gives you any clue, OK? :wink:

How did Colorado not even make the list? Don’t we drink quite a bit for supposedly being one of the healthiest states? If you were going to rank us among binge drinkers, wouldn’t we at least…

Remember the story about how Lake Woebegone (in a neighboring state) was left off the maps?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines binge drinking as consuming at least four or more drinks for women and five or more drinks for men during one sitting. Heavy drinking refers to the number of alcoholic beverages consumed per week (15 or more for men and eight or more for women).

Wouldn’t WI drop out of that list if they didn’t count breakfast?
