jug wine suggestions?

[MarkinHouston]

A group of Hurricane Ike "survivors" in our subdivision is going to get together for a party this weekend. The occasion is probably more appropriate for inexpensive yet tasty wines---we went through the steaks and lobster when the power was out! I am seeking hints for a few choices among 1.5 liter bottles that will meet general approval without breaking anyone's budget. Any hints are appreciated---since we are in the Houston area, obscure Napa winery-only labels will not help iin this instance. Thanks.

I've found Bella Sera pinot gris to be servicable for needs such as this.

We were out of power 11 days (Beaumont) How about you?

instead of drinking the jug wine straight, why not turn it into sangria. . .or some other punch-like concoction, that way it doesn't really matter what the quality.

Black Box Chardonnay is good for boxed wine.
