"  Wines from a box don&amp;#039;t have the best reputation. Worst case, they can be just as bad as (or worse than) the stuff you used to drink when you first became &amp;quot;legal&amp;quot; and didn&amp;#039;t want to spend any cash, but wanted to be sophisticated. Best case: You&amp;#039;ll find some good quality wines that just happen to be also conveniently available in a larger container. The system is actually pretty technologically advanced and can keep the wine fresh for 4 to 6 weeks, way longer than you should be hanging onto that quarter bottle of leftover red &amp;quot;just in case.&amp;quot; And, they&amp;#039;re cost-effective. Even the most expensive 3 liter boxes cost the equivalent of $12 a bottle, and when you&amp;#039;re buying beverages for a big barbecue, the large quantity and compact size makes sense. We tasted through a selection of boxes, provided by their importers/distributors. Here are 3 reds and a ros\u00E9 that we think are worth clearing some shelf-space for: Domaine Le Garrigon Cotes du Rhone 2011 Wineberry  (about $45 for 3L)  A nicely balanced red from France, with some plum and cherry flavors. Some smoky lamb chops would go beautifully with this one. Black Box Malbec 2011  (about $26 for 3L) A juicy Argentinean red, with a good combination of acidity and tannins (that mouth-drying aspect of wine that can make it go great with a hearty burger) Big House Red 2011  (about $22 for 3L) A easy-drinking California blend. We&amp;#039;re sure this would be an all-around crowd pleaser. Jenny &amp;amp;amp; Francois From the Tank Ros\u00E9  (about $32 for 3L) Summer in a glass: A French ros\u00E9 that&amp;#039;s on the dry side, yet still contains some red fruit flavors. Would be a good accompaniment to grilled seafood or a not-too-tart tomato salad. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
