Wine Finds: Volére Wine Purse
A box of wine that looks like a quilted leather purse? Sure, why not?
Wine Finds: Volére Wine Purse
Although we're not too keen on the boxed wine finds at most of our local State Stores, a newly released bag-in-a-box offering caught our eye on a recent stock-up trip to MT's preferred Jersey liquor-ium Wine Works (319 Route 70) in Marlton.
There are countless absurd innovations in the world of wine packaging (Cupcake Chardonnay and Mad Housewife Merlot, we're looking at you) but the Volére Wine Purse is by far the silliest we've encountered as of late. Of course, the prevailing silliness of a box o' wine dressed up as a quilted leather purse didn't stop us from picking up 1.5 liters of Pinot Grigio.
Coming from Cantina Di Soave in the Veneto, the Pinot is just fine (a little flabby but totally drinkable with a decent chill) and even a steal at around $15 for the equivalent of two bottles, there's something about this purse of wine that screams bachelorette party gone awry or something to do with channeling your inner Carrie Bradshaw. But at the end of the day we're kind of pleased that boxed wine in purse form exists.
