    Box Wines! The 2022 Guide To The Best Box Wine

    Box wine has a bad rap, and unfortunately a lot of it is deserved. There are way too many producers out there solely using the box to keep their costs as low as possible – including filling it with the cheapest wine possible. Bad wine is bad wine, no matter how cheap it is and the format it comes in!

    The Best Box Wine - The Reverse Wine Snob Picks!At Reverse Wine Snob we are constantly on the search for reputable wineries putting quality wine in a box for the right reasons -- convenience, being environmentally friendly, no risk of cork taint, staying fresh for weeks and of course the cost savings in terms of packaging and shipping (which hopefully get passed on to you). Below are our favorite picks for the best inexpensive boxes on the market.

    Click here to get a printable shopping list of the best box wine!

    And while we haven't tried every iteration of every box out there, we have and continue to try quite a few. If you don't see a brand on this list it's most likely because we don't recommend it. We love this format but we're still discerning about what goes into it!

    Read on for our list of The Best Box Wine!

    (Note that while some of the pictures below are of bottles, all of these wines are available in a box!)
