” I drink a ltr of red wine every day.
My favorite come from Spain or Italy in one ltr boxes, costing only about $3 per ltr.”
A man after my own heart ...:-) $3 is dirt cheap ? Why so ?
” $3 is dirt cheap ? Why so ?”

Obviously because it is in a cardboard box, and not a glass bottle. It is the same type of box that milk is packaged in.
That reminds me...both here and in Europe, all milk is sold in the same type of box and NOT refrigerated, unlike milk in the US.
Checking the rate today, it is $2.85 per ltr. for this Italian wine. The quality is on a par with Carlo Rossi, very available here at $5-6 per ltr.
When I first came here, I bought Don Garcia from Spain for about the same price. What I have now is from Italy, but in the same type of package.
