Our Story: While in Europe, I was surprised at the popularity of boxed wine. Turns out that Europeans, who typically drink quality wine, have been drinking high-end boxed wine for years. They've forgone the expensive bottle for what counts most: Fine wine at a superior value. I thought Americans deserve the same. So I created Black Box Wines for you - the enthusiast who enjoys wine on a regular basis. Whether it's a glass with dinner or an outing with friends, now you can enjoy a first-rate wine for every occasion. I hope you're as pleased with our wine as I am. Sincerely, Ryan Sproule, Vintner. 13.5% alc. by vol.
