I bought a wine Friday night that came in a large juicebox type container: Bandit from 3 thieves. I'm not sure why - maybe my spirit of adventure was acting up. But I must say it was a decent wine; a pinot grigio, suficiently dry and clean tasting. It came from Wal*Mart and the price was under $8 for the liter.

I mentioned it this afternoon to my local wine merchant, while I was picking up a couple more expensive wines. He was familiar with it and admitted he used to sell it himself once upon a time.

I know we are being told to accept quality wines with screw tops. Is this the next step. Mrs BamaVol liked the wine, but insists that it be decanted and served in a carafe.
