#BoxedWine is so widely reviled in women's fiction, in movies, in blog posts.
Glass bottles got difficult to recycle during covid. Hello boxed wine!
Seriously. I drink it. The Botz Box #Redvolution is pretty dang decent. Dry red wine, not too acidic, not the least bit sweet, is what I like.
I wish for boxed beer, because those one-a-day glass beer bottles quickly pile up and necessitate a drive to the can shed, because some states have that awful nickel deposit on cans and bottles, but not on those far more ubiquitous and ridiculous plastic water bottles....
I'm sorry your family history includes a struggle with alcohol, but you seem to have an ingenious way of handling it.
