pssst, buddy - can you recommend a .... box wine?

[xela]

When I was younger, box wines were always a joke. But I'm given to understand that these days, some pretty decent wines come packaged that way  and that, since the wine is in a plastic bladder that deflates as it's used, a lot less air gets to it after it's opened, and it therefore stays drinkable a lot longer. Since I typically waste half of every bottle of wine I open, this is a very appealing idea.

So: have you tried box wines? Any you recommend?

I would agree with most, that current vintages of boxed wine suck. However, I understand that the actual packaging is being explored by more traditional wineries for the same reasons of preservation...
