[Rhodes22-list] Rummy and Coke

[Mary Lou Troy]

We take box wines cruising but have discovered that if you chill the 
whites in the ice box or a cooler, the box disintegrates. We solved 
that problem a few years ago with the top cut off a gallon water jug 
and a hole cut in the bottom for the spigot. Works great. Current 
favorite red in the Black Box Malbec which we drink at home as well. 
Just bought one of the little Vendage Cabernets to take on an 
overnight trip. We'll see how that is. The Vendage Pinot Grigio is acceptable.
