Today while shopping at Target, Mrs. Grapeinabottle and I stumbled upon the Wine Cube. We both acted as if we weren’t looking at this Target Brand boxed wine, when I finally broke the silence and declared that I wanted to give it a try. I must admit I have never tried a boxed wine before, at least to my knowledge (we often ate at a Chinese restaurant in New York that served free wine with dinner, and I suspect it came directly from cardboard). The 1.5 liter wine cube only comes in a Cabernet/Shiraz blend and Pinot Grigio, but a much wider selection is offered in the 3 liter packaging.  We decided on the Cabernet/Shiraz blend and I must say it is a solid drink. This is a smooth wine, with hints of vanilla and spice that finish easy.  Mrs. Grapeinabottle and I thought this would be a great choice to serve at large family events, because a lot of wine is consumed and at $10 USD for a 1.5 liter cube, the price is right at $4.50 a bottle.
