USA available boxed wines

I have no compelling reason to have a corked or screw cap bottle of wine except that one cannot get wine for long term aging except in corked bottles. I have purchased a case of a German Moselle QbA with screw caps and since this was not a wine for long aging, it was fine.

The box concept for economy seems viable but here in the Midwest I have not been able to find anything but what one would refer to as 'jug' type wine.

Does anyone have any experience, positive or negative with any box wines available in the US that they would care to relate? Thanks for any replies.-Dick

I first got into boxed wines when camping - no scary, heavy glass bottles that need a corkscrew and might break in your pack while lugging it through the wilderness.

The Three Thieves Bandit wine is actually pretty decent. Epicurious lists it as one of their top five boxed wines, and I really like their cabernet and chardonnay. And everything does taste better outdoors.
