Quantity over quality when it comes to wine, thedevariouseffect
Oh I'm not always a crazy alcohol snob, but some of the boxed wines taste terrible, or like juice, just..no haha.
A good ~$20 Merlot, Cab Sav, or Riesling and I'm alright. I've had some more expensive wine from places and it's good, but not always necessary. Like one guy I worked with had to have a bottle of Dom to toast with. I honestly couldn't tell the difference between that and my usual bottle of Sparking Wine/Champagne I get.

There are some nice boxed wines out there. Truth be told, I usually buy bottles of wine but sometimes I'll go boxed if it's a decent wine and on sale. As noted above though, my wine finesse is pretty much limited to "tastes good" and "yuck". But I think boxed wine is inherently funny, like sushi from Walgreen's.
Wall Street Journal used to have a great wine column written by a couple. They wrote once about wine tasting parties they would have. Each guest brought a bottle of wine that was put into a paper bag with a number on it. The wines were tasted, the best wine voted on, and the winner, with few exceptions, was one of the cheapest bottles.
I'm a Marxist, of the Groucho sort.
I would love for either Shoot the Rapids or SRF to be replaced by a river battle type ride.
