Warm Wine - Am I wasting my money?

If it tastes like shit throw it out.

At Baht 790.- for 4 litres, in a Box, from a "Mom and Pop" Store what on earth do you expect?

Don't even bother to taste it.

Rimping have a decent selection of boxed wines at 700-900bht for 5l.

Too warm, add some ice cubes.

Too bitter, add a teaspoon of sugar.

Works for me.

wine box at 790B for 4 liters.

It's certainly not very nice on the palette.

Am I wasting my money on wine here, if it is not kept (and probably shipped) properly.

You're buying wine at less than Baht 200 a litre. I don't think storage temperatures are the issue. Maybe it's the quality of cardboard used.

When you mention "palette" and boxed wine in the same paragraph, are you being facetious?

boxed wine never touches any cardboard as it is kept inside a plastic liner bag.

Wrong Naam the bag is made from aluminium

Cheapo wine with Coke used to be very popular (and possibly still is) amongst the Portuguese community in South Africa, where it was known as Catemba.

By the way do you lads really find it necessary to continually click on and repeat lengthy multiple posts? B....y irritating.

The bags are made out of #7 plastic, a catchall category typically containing mixed types of plastic (“polycarbonate”), combined for various practical reasons
