Good?? Box Wines

[Smoky14]

My better half likes white wines which are on the sweeter side. She has been looking at these wines that come in a box lately but hates to buy something she will have to throw away.
All that being said, can you recommend a decent wine or give me a hint as to what not to waste my money trying.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Something in the Moscato family. They are a fairly sweet, light white wine.

Moscato or white zinfandel should be sweeter. Can you get champagne/sparkling wine in boxes?

After the third glass, they generally taste fine.

There are different grades of boxed wines - you can get 5L of Franzia for $18, or you can get 3L of Black Box for something over $20.

Either way is less expensive than even a cheap 750mL bottle, but naturally the more expensive boxes taste better.

Are you looking for something that you can enjoy as well? If you don't like sweet wine yourself then maybe try a Pinot Grigio. They're a lighter sweet than Moscato which you won't like if you don't like sweet wine. The only box wine I have tried is the Blck Box and it was pretty good.

Franzia Sweet White or White Zinfandel - decant or let breathe in the glass for a few minutes before consumption for a deeper taste. Consume the entire box in 30 days or less.

Challenge accepted.

Isn't Franzia/boxed wine the "Busch Lite" of wine? Made for the sole purpose of getting tipsy.

Anyway, the wine I like is Merlot, slightly chilled, particularly the Winking Owl brand you find at Aldi food stores. Not bad for $3/750mL.
