This guy likes to review cheap wines particularly those in boxes http://www.boxwines.org/

There are still very few options for better quality wine in a box that are available in the US. Possibilities to look for include Black Box and Free Range (the latter is all sourced in France). Can't speak for them yet, but they're on our to-try list (assuming the state-run stores carry them). We bought a case of Two-Buck Chuck in Ohio yesterday, though, so we won't need to try for a bit. (We had a bottle we liked and it seems to be the same batch.)

The problem with Bandit isn't the wine so much (apparently good for its price range) but that the tetra brick packaging's only benefit over a bottle is that it's cheaper. The bag-in-box packaging has the added benefit of preventing air from getting in, which allows you to keep it over weeks (which is good, since most packages are 4 bottles' worth).
