Wine. In. A. Box. You heard me! Wine in a box. Or rather, wine in a bag. In a box.
Cue the music…..
duh duh duh du-duduh du-duduh. duh duh duh du-duh-duh du-dudduuuuuh (that would be the Star Wars Imperial March if you couldn’t tell.)
Upon first seeing this sleek design I thought it resembled something Darth Vader would carry around and quaff. He would hold it by the easily accessible and ergonomic handle and fill his large black chalice from the tap on the side. Mr. Vader needs portability. And easy access. And 4 bottles worth of wine in one small package.
He also needs longevity. Mr. Vader must have a wine that can withstand time and constant lightspeed travel. This bad boy stays fresh for up to a month (maybe even 2) in the fridge. I’ll be testing this and will report back.
The breakdown of the label: Trocken= dry (as in bone dry riesling.) Rheinhassen= the region or QbA in Germany where it is produced.
Verdict = pretty darn good. The winemaker is not only producing a quality wine in a sustainable way but delivering it to the people in a just as eco-friendly manner. No guilt in drinking this bad boy. It’s a near perfect spring into summer sipper. Take it on a picnic…to a concert…next to the couch for easy access. Or on The Star Dreadnought Executor.

You can get the Wurtz for around 25 bones (that comes out to less than $7 a bottle) at domaineLA

Me dig that wine… ultimately, it is the future…
I normally abhor any wine that comes out of a box (though it seems to be the only kind that some of my relatives drink – EWW), but if it’s a wine that is endorsed by Lord Vader, then I might have to reconsider. Especially if he’s threatening me with a choke hold.
