Best thing to do with wine in a box is bin it BEFORE you open it

Not long in my house

Not true -- you can get some half-decent stuff in boxes, e.g. Banrock Station.

ProperCharlie

carl - you've just proved Dave's point

mica - wine won't make you ill just cos it's been haging around - it will just be a little oxidised. if it tasted like sh*t in the first place, it can't really have got any worse, can it?

if all esle fails just drink the bottle of wine vinegar that is to be found in the depths of most cupboards.

Wine boxes should last around 4-6 weeks once opened I think - it says on the box does it not?

Dave T-S

Sorry, but Banrock Station = dingo wee

Beauregard

Wine in a box is still drinkable about 4 weeks after it has been opened (never gets past 4 days in this house) because very little air gets into the bag when you open the tap. The bag just collapses as the wine comes out, therefore the wine does not oxidise as quickly as it would in an open bottle. So the answer is "get stuck in"

Ah but what year dingo wee?

Didn't they produce a nutty little number back in 53?

Aha...wine snob ahoy

just throw a tenner in the bin - at least you save petrol driving to the offy to collect it.
