They seem so good in the movies, but actually taste mostly just like straight vodka, which most people aren’t going to enjoy.

    Yeah, they are awful. My mate bought all the ingredients and a fancy martini glass, had half of one, and gave up.

      Never try boxed wine.

      When I was 21, my job had someone lose an entire massive jug of wine in a box. It sat in lost and found for a month before I just took it.

      Second worst thing that has ever been in my mouth. I invited people over to try it. If they liked it, they could have it. I figured “I’m not a wine guy, but it’s free booze.”

      I couldn’t take more than a sip. Nobody could.

      We had to throw the damn thing away.

        I can’t stand wine (it’s all vinegar to me, regardless of the price tag), but I know some connoisseurs who say there are plenty of good boxed wines. I don’t think the container signifies the quality. My wife says one of the best wines she ever had was a 6 euro bottle of french table wine, better than a 150 euro bottle I got for her birthday.

          It’s funny because I’ve seen people say before that wine is completely subjective. The price has no bearing on flavor. If you like it you like it.
