OK. This is blatant. My Great Courses lectures on wine have been released just in time for the holidays. Drink up! '

Where is the box wine pairing course?

Paul?!

There is nothing whatsoever in these courses about developing fine dehydrated wine for us. WTH? Ian

Yes, well, that's a problem. There is now dehydrated alcohol. But it's better used for cocktails than wine. And it's not all that light to begin with.

My recommendation is to grab a couple of those plastic wine bottles the airlines use, and refill them with the vintage of your choice...assuming that you're not hiking for fourteen days with a 65 lb pack. In that case, leave the wine at home!

Some box wines are legitimately good---but not the so much the ones on the bottom shelf of the supermarket priced by the gallon.

What is that supposed to mean.
PLEASE no one write - too many characters, just like it says. I would not write that if I were a dumb 10 year old.
