Boxed wine has gone through an intense makeover in the last few years.

The appeal of boxed wines has to do with a couple of factors.

For one,these wines are usually cheaper, providing more volume for a lower price point.

As a lover of wine myself, I wanted to find out.

I attribute my love of wine to my mom.

When it comes to both coffee and wine, she believes the more interesting the flavor, the better.

It doesn’t taste terrible, but it doesn’t taste like much of anything at all.

It’s quite watery and bland, and it’s not something I’d enjoy drinking.

For those just wanting to “slap the bag,” however, this box will do just fine.

She also added that it’s easy to drink and may be perfect for new wine drinkers.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t much to talk about with the chardonnay from Bota Box.

Linzi, our resident marketer and designer, couldn’t get over how unappealing the box itself was.

The price point is really impressive, as you get four bottles of wine for under $19.

They were enjoyable and interesting enough to get us talking, and I could see myself buying them again.

But I have to say, nothing is boring about this wine from Black Box.

We all agreed that we’d feel cool showing up to any event with this box in tow.

As far as the taste itself, this is a solid red wine.

The only potential negative to the Juliet wine is its price point.

So much so, that this was the second favorite for both Linzi and the chardonnay enthusiast herselfmy mom.

Again, my one complaint about the Juliet wines is the price.

The experience of this wine for the price point is unmatched.
