Nether a wine or Scotch drinker am I, just an occasional beer doth pass these lips on a hot summers day. However your upgrading of my knowledge base is well appreciated. Thanks.

I suspect that there’s an infinite number of opinions about Scotch and wine.

The biggest problem with boxed wines is that they don’t have the “class” of bottled wine. (I’m referring to bottles with a cork — more practical screw-top bottles are considered even more déclassé than boxed wine. Wine snobs insist that wine from screw-top bottles is usually best drunk curbside, from the bottle, which is still in the brown bag its came in.) There are some decent boxed wines — apparently, they’ve become quite acceptable in Australia. When appearances matter, I decant the wine into a crystal decanter for serving (the wine aerates better in a decanter too).
