My friends call me a wine snob because I really don't liked boxed wines. I generally drink chardonnay in the summer and I stay at the $10-$12 range per bottle. That gets expensive and I am cheap so I was looking at the boxed wines at the store the other day and wondered if there are any that might be decent. I did try one boxed wine a couple of years ago and it was terrible and I regretted buying it. But if there are some that are good that the Peas can recommend, I would like to try for myself. I like a dry-ish, not too sweet chardonnay. Tia. |

I don't really like Chardonnay (I know, big help!  ) but my best GF is a white wine aficionado and she loves Fish Eye Pinot Grigio (again, not sure if that helps, lol). We were in the States a couple of weeks ago and I think it was $15 at Albertson's. |

Try the Bota Box brand if it's available in your area. My sis considers herself a wine snob, and likes the dry whites, and drinks the BB brand. I had some and it WAS quite tasty, think it was a pinot grigio, but then I'm happy with my cheap Livingston Cellars Red Rose!

I'm a red wine drinker, and I enjoy the Black Box brand. I have no idea about their chardonnay, though.
Also enjoyed a California box I see occasionally here, Red House.

Chardonnay is almost the only wine I drink. Definitely my favorite. Both the Bota Box and Black Box brands are very good, IMO. Black Box is the one I buy the most.

Is that a special white Merlot that I am not aware of? 
OP, whatever you get, jam a straw in that adult juice box and enjoy!

Laura - let us know what you bought and opinions. I'm sitting on the bench with ya - I stay in $10-$15 price range and that does add up!
