Well, hopefully moms and dad won't mix the apple juice box and the wine juice box too early in life, but yes, maybe this will catch on in 15 years when the six year olds start buying their own wine!Dr. Debshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892131332003571463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-79353213572371956382007-10-03T12:31:00.000-07:002007-10-03T12:31:00.000-07:00i think this will catch on, actually, but in europ...i think this will catch on, actually, but in europe, not here where people are constantly afraid of embarrassing themselves around wine. maybe it would catch on here with kids - you know how toddlers and kids all the way through elementary school love juiceboxes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-60040463361130346602007-10-03T09:23:00.000-07:002007-10-03T09:23:00.000-07:00Hi everybody.

There also seems to be some concern about the aluminum used in the wine boxes--there is a layer of plastic between the aluminum and the wine but there is still some anxiety about the metal tainting the wine at least in Europe. Monkuwino--don't stick the straw up your nose. And Sonadora, maybe that does happen--something about the air, on the idea that if you take medicine with carbonated drinks they enter the bloodstream faster? I'm with you on the wine rack issue. Not nearly so nice with a box!Dr. Debshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892131332003571463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-89951391681600274872007-10-02T16:58:00.000-07:002007-10-02T16:58:00.000-07:00I have trouble with the concept of drinking throug...I have trouble with the concept of drinking through a straw. I recall hearing somewhere that drinking alcohol through a straw gets you drunk faster? Or maybe that was an urban legend. Regardless, I'll take my bottle. A juice box wouldn't fit in my wine racks ;)Sonadorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01267916648440750132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-79477257164343091392007-10-02T12:29:00.000-07:002007-10-02T12:29:00.000-07:00Part of the experience of drinking wine is to enjo...Part of the experience of drinking wine is to enjoy the aromas. This wine in a box with a straw sounds like it is meant to be portable so you can drink on the go, like when you're driving your car? Haha, I guess I'll just have to stick the straw in my nose first, and then take a sip. Seriously, I wouldn't buy that product - it's not how I would want to experience drinking/tasting a wine.MonkuWinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750846389749495527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-19713067431256795362007-10-02T09:31:00.000-07:002007-10-02T09:31:00.000-07:00I had a Zinfandel this weekend that was in a 500ml...I had a Zinfandel this weekend that was in a 500ml "juice box." I was surprised that the wine wasn't half bad! There was no straw though. I should have noted the wine maker. My dad bought it at a 99cent store!Orion Slayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09638671012109650988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-6400611356720569382007-10-02T08:26:00.000-07:002007-10-02T08:26:00.000-07:00I saw at Whole Foods that they sell wine in eco-fr...I saw at Whole Foods that they sell wine in eco-friendly (supposedly...) cardboard/juice-box-ish containers, but in a 1L size approximately.<BR/><BR/>I didn't pay close enough attention to see whether the wine was French or otherwise. While in France, I saw lots of wine at supermarkets in large plastic bottles (what we would buy water in here). <BR/><BR/>With all the stories these days about plastics leeching out hormones and other chemicals into our food, I think I'll stick with glass bottles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
