Wine in a box?

Yes, and it’s yummy! It’s called Tetra Pak―a lightweight, shatter-proof alternative to wine bottles. It differs from other boxed wine containers, which are plastic bags inside corrugated cardboard boxes. Both types allow more wine per container weight than bottled wine and generally cost less to transport.

Our Recommendation: Yellow + Blue Malbec (1-liter Tetra Pak, $12)

Tastes like: berries, plus, and a hint of spice
