Straight from the tap!

REDVOLUTION
from Bota Box

Bota Box produces several wines that come in a box.  The key is the Flextap which allows wine to be poured out without air entering in.  The box also keeps light from coming in.

Flavors include Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Malbec, Shiraz, Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and REDVOLUTION.
This tasting is REDVOLUTION.  Original Red Wine Blend.  Comes in a 3 liter box which is equivalent to 4 750ml bottles.  Price is CHEAP compared to buying 4 bottles.  Cost is around $19.99.
The box also has nice symbols that show you what you can do while drinking.  Hiking, boating, lounging, camping, picnic and fishing.
REDVOLUTION is a full-bodied red wine.  It is comprised of Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet, Petite Sirah and Syrah varietals.  It is on the sweet side.  Not very dry.  Definitely a berry taste at the beginning.  Any sweeter and it would be a high end MD 20/20. We have tried other varities of Bota Box and this one is a little disappointing.  Would be great to mix with 7-Up and hang out with high school chicks... but that is 20 years to late for the tasters.

ABV:  13.5%
SULFITES: YES!

Hippy rating for packaging: 5.0

  1. So, I love the comment about adding 7-up and hanging with high school chicks. Hilarious! I mix wines with 7-up if I buy a bottle that I don't care too much for. That way I don't waste the bottle!
