i've decided to stick to red wine for a little while. i don't drink very much but when i do have a drink to relax at home i think it should be a glass of red wine. the mixed or bottled beverages will be saved for when i'm out at club or restaurant.

Good call. Red wine can be healthy. Sadly, I've never liked it. :-/

[kill_canser]

yes, that is what i was thinking.

I wish I liked wine. Then I could be classy when I go out somewhere. Instead I'm a mixed drink kind of girl and that's just not as classy... I'm envious of your like of wine! :)

Try the boxed wine from Target. I know box of wine + department store sounds like a recipe for atrocious swill, but it's surprisingly quite good.

how long does it keep though? because i am the only one who would ever be drinking it.

Because of the packaging, it doesn't oxidize (or at least it doesn't oxidize nearly as fast as a bottle), so it can last a good while even though it's the equivilant of 4 bottles. I've had them last over two weeks and never had to throw one out before it was finished.

There are some crap boxed wines out there. Franzia is kind of the reason for the reputation of shitty boxed wine, but it seems to be making a bit of a comeback now. I've seen a few big names start doing boxes. The Target brand just happens to be particularly good (very reminicent of Yellowtail, imho) and cheap ($17 for a 4 bottle box).

Dito!

Red wine has been mine since I was a wee little girl. Good choice. It's my drink of choice when I'm not out clubbing or at friends. Then it's mixed drinks for sure. Kudos to you!

I'm a big fan of Shiraz (Yellowtail makes an affordable and delicous one) and Pinot Noir. If you find any you really enjoy, please let me know!

yes, yellowtail shiraz is actually one of my favorites.
