      how would you describe it? especially in contrast to the snobbery in the original post?

        Kind of like being under a bridge on one’s knees orally pleasing a vagrant while simulataneously drinking liquified meth through a dirty rag. But in a good way though - definitely give it a try

        I think the description of the flavours were largely apt, barring the negative connotations. When thought about as its own category of beverage I think they can be pleasant. Just don’t think you’re going to be getting some wine, because that’s not really what it is.

          it’s looking like i can’t buy it or import it to where i live, sadly 😔

          the descriptions made it sound like prune juice except caffeinated, alcoholic, and with a slightly broader flavor profile.

          I think I would’ve actually liked it, but allegedly it’s a schedule 4 controlled substance according to the braindead dipshit assclowns at the Drug Enforcement Agency…🙄

          fucking feds. Typical bastard pig bullshit.

        Box wine is actually a staple in Sweden where I live, but again without the negative connotations. Great way to be able to enjoy wine in moderation without having it spoil early - having to either commit to finishing a full bottle or have it spoil is a major hassle.

          It’s great for cooking as well, you can just pour that 1/4 cup you need to deglaze a pan or whatever without again committing to finishing a bottle or having it go bad.
