Congratulations to the entire cast and their fancy outfits for taking “a walk in the clouds” to win the monthly prize of $2000 for October.

Three self-confessed loose cannons crash an upper-class garden party to show that good wine doesn’t have to come from a bottle.

Congratulations on a really creative entry, and good luck with the dry-cleaner!

Wine Spectator recommends Black Box!

Published on September 22, 2009 in News.

We were thrilled to read wine afficionado Wine Spectator recommending boxed wine in the October 15 issue.

As a Black Box fan you’ve known for years that boxed wine is made the same way as bottled wine, but packaged without the expense of heavy bottles.

“Boxed wine from California, produced in many popular varietals, can be full flavored alternatives for bargain hunters”
