People always make fun of box wine. It's cheap, it's indistinct, and it's often to be found at undergraduate parties. But lately the quality of such wine has increased dramatically, leaving me to wonder, what will take the place of boxed wine in the world of cheap alcohol?
Tonight, I might have found the answer. Jug wine.
There's something primordial about buying a 4 liter jug of red wine, like it's straight out of some medieval friar's cellar. Of course, my jug is glass, not ceramic, but nonetheless, it takes strength and courage to pour from such a vessel. Unfortunately, the excitement ends at the pouring. One sip leaves me wondering what I am going to do with 4 liters of crappy wine.
Maybe I'll invite some undergrads over.

You should cook with it and/or mull it. Warm wine with spices. Yum! Or make sangria (use Leslie's recipe, it involves cinnamon and gin). Or rather that invite some undergrads over, just plan on gifting it to them so you don't have to clean up the aftermath. Or bring it to the field and fill up disks. It will probably taste better (and maybe even a little more authentically medieval/ancient) served out of such a dish and accompanied by a little dirt.
While other undergrads have indeed switched to jugs of wine, this one keeps it classy with boxes and Boone's Farm. However, I would never turn down a donation of cheap booze. :)
