Bandit wines are cool, new, eco-friendly and better yet: good!
Tuesday, September 14, 2010 at 17:56 When I saw a display of wine - Bandit Wines - in what appeared to be paper cartons (tetra paks), I said “hmmmm, that’s bold but can it be good?”
The answer is affirmative. I’m drinking a glass of the Pinot Grigio as I write this.
Bandit has set out to redefine the whole concept of wine in a box - yeah, you remember that stuff that you brought to parties because it was A-Cheap, B- Everybody was gonna have a buzz on and wouldn’t notice quality anyhow, and C- If it sat in the trunk of your car for a month, who would know or care.
The Pinot Grigio is perfect beach or picnic wine, but don’t let that be taken to mean cheap and reminiscent of soda pop. It isn’t. It’s real wine. It’s well-behaved, well-balanced and perfectly delightful - bringing a pleasant apple and sunny summer day to your glass. With clear, light straw color, and citrus, apple and pear notes, you can sit and sip on this wine all afternoon. I would say that it has a remarkable finish for a Pinot Grigio.
Yes, it is what’s inside the ‘bottle’ that counts - as they say on the Three Thieves website. So what do we need that bottle and annoying cork for? Perhaps that’s important to wine snobs - which I am sometimes one - but for the most part, I don’t need it. I’d rather the money were spent on the quality of wine in the uh, package.
Bandit wines are tasty, portable, eco-friendly, easy (no cork to mess with), fun, thought provoking, will startle your friends as you toss it to them with a “heads up” and come in two sizes - one liter and 500 milli liter
