Quanity over Quality, or WTF was I thinking...

I really had every intention to buy wine at the liquor store last night, but for some reason I thought I would hit the wine in the box section instead.  What in the hell was I thinking.

I feel I should start a "Do Not Drink This" list.  Wine in a box, nice idea, the fact that oxygen does not allow the wine to go bad as quickly is a good thing...but seriously?  Just buy the bottle and make it a personal goal to consume it in a day or two.  Tell people that want to make plans with you, "sorry but I have a Cab I have to finish at home", if they are real friends, they'll understand. 

Granted, when a bottle of wine is open, generally it's shared between two or so people, not at my place.  My roommate doesn't drink and I don't feel like sharing.

So back to the box of crap I am drinking.  I took a drink and slightly gagged, it's pretty awful.  I checked the date to see if it had gone bad, the packaging states that it is good 12-15 months after the date which is November 2011.  Bottom line, this wine sucks.

Do I take it back to the store?  I feel like I should return it because it really tastes like it has GONE bad, yet then I wonder maybe this is just how the wine tastes?

Here are other things NOT to drink EVER:

- Blue Maui, I don't know if they sell this but I've had some bad pre-legal drinking age experiences with it, it reminds me of coolant, tastes alot like coolant, is probably lethal and I'm sure the FDA pulled it off the shelves years ago...

- All wine coolers, don't even pretend you like these, they are disgusting.  Granted, during the 'wine cooler lush fest' was again during the pre-legal drinking age timeframe and our point in drinking these was to get drunk, instead of sipping on wine coolers at a garden party so I'm sure there is some market for this bottled vermin out there somewhere

- White Zinfandel, God help me, I went on a bender with my friend Jamee in Chicago in the mid-90's drinking white trashfandel for about 12 hrs...and suffered the worst hangover of my life the next day.  There are some drinks that should not be drank in excess, this would be on the list...as well as just tasting really bad.

- Jaeger.  I know alot of people like their Jaeger, I do not.  It tastes like candy-licorice crap.  Seriously, why are you drinking cough syrup?  Didn't you get enough of this when you were younger?  And the anise taste, if you ever want to make me suffer, insist I take shot after shot of Jaeger followed by smoking at least three cigarettes, that would be hell for me.

- Heineken, this just tastes like swill

I feel there are more drinks that I abhor, yet here I sit drinking this crappy box of wine, because it's here.  Chances are I will drink any of the above if it was infront of me, except for the Blue Maui, that's my dealbreaker.
