Still having the comic strips of my post on baby care in mind, I happened to come across the concept of boxed wine. Have you ever heard of it?
Boxed wine was invented in Australia and is quite popular in some parts of the world. It consists basically of low-priced, high alcohol wine sold in cartons with no visible indication of the amount consumed. It is pretty much criticised for being a gulping wine rather than a sipping wine; that is, a drink you take large mouthfuls rapidly instead of savouring a small quantity at a time.
Bottled wines, on the other hand, tend to be more elegant as well as expensive. Since the bottle must be well-sealed, the liquid is better preserved, being therefore ideal for long-term storage.
Note the pun!
Keep things bottled up = keep emotions or impulses contained.
What about you? Do you drink wine? How often do you drink it? Have you ever tried boxed wine? Do you prefer boxed wine or bottled wine? Tell us about it in the comments below!
