I fly out of CVO (Corvallis, OR), a small non-towered airport. While
walking to the porta-potty this afternoon I walked past the dumpster.
Naturally I looked in to see what was there, and I was pretty surprized
to see several of the empty wine boxes. Now tell me how many folks
keep wine in their hanger. For medicinal purposes only, I’m sure.

It is pretty common practice for some people to bring trash from home, and
dump it in "other’s" dumpsters.

Is there something wrong with keeping wine in your hangar???
We keep a fridge full of beer at ours all the time… An adult beverage
after a beautiful flight is, well, lovely.

I think the issue was that the wine was in a box. I haven’t tried any yet,
but there have been at least two articles in the papers over the year with a
positive wine in the box slant.
Is this the same top with the 175 & the 182

Really? Do you recall the positive points raised in the article?

1. The ability to consume it in volume.
2. Easy to pour after you’ve consumed it in volume
3. No glass to break after you’ve consumed it in volume
4. Nobody gets stabbed with the cork screw after you’ve…
5. After you’ve CIIV, you don’t care if it came in a box.

Not being a wine aficionado, I’ve never understood the snobbery regarding
"wine in a box".
Is it not possible to have a fine wine that happens to be packaged in a
modern, convenient container? Does the plastic lining make it taste funny
(like the original plastic containers did with milk)?
We seldom have wine in the house, but for parties those fridge-sized boxes
are a marvelous invention.

I suspect it has to do with aging. As you know, good wine gets better with
aging. Wine in a box is designed for quick consumption and is not meant to
sit in a low humidity, 64 degree cellar for a few years growing old with
style.

*brrrrr*
we here in the EU now have to allow US wine to be imported … some of the
US producers mix wine (and don’t have to declare it on the label) … how
disgusting.

So? Is anybody forcing you to buy it?
Surely that’s not as bad as a few years back when it was discovered that
HUGE amounts of Austrian wine being sold over here had anti-freeze added
to make it taste sweeter?

no. but I can’t make a decision because it is not marked. The product
should have a declaration about the ingredients.

this wasn’t a good thing happening (and it wasn’t a regular product, it was
illegal). but IMHO the producers and the govt learned how to avoid future
"mishaps".

Something about low wing drivers liked the box because it could be set on
the wing and made for easy dispensing. :-)
> 1. The ability to consume it in volume.
Actually, the ability to consume it =not= in volume. Since air makes
wine go bad, if you can prevent air from getting in, it’s always fresh,
even if you only have half a glass today and half a glass three months
from today.

Primarily it has to do with the wine that is available in a box. Glass
also lasts longer; some fine wines are laid down for ten years or more.
There’s a controversy about using cork or screwcaps now too; it looks
like screwcaps will win this one as cork is getting scarce and has its
problems.

You mean, like French wines, where they don’t tell you the grape
varieties from which the wine is made, but go on about the place it’s made?

They’ve done taste tests on TV with these wine snobs. For a given wine
it is not possible to tell what kind of container it has been stored in
by its taste.

For screwcaps I can easily believe this. For wine in a box, I’d say
"more research is called for" (like how long does the box last in a damp
cellar after ten years or thirty). It may well work for fine wines too,
but the wine industry moves slowly. (as it should – discovering a
problem with a container after ten years does wonders for the ten year
old wine maturing in those containers.)
I’d like to see champaigne in a box. :)

Wine in a box…… wine with a screw cap……. won’t age properly in a
box…… plastic liner might leave a taste….
OY! How many people go to their local booze shop, buy a $12 bottle of
wine, and leave it in their basement for 7 years? Please!! Wine in a box
is clearly meant for rapid consumption, (at the party tonight, with dinner
tomorrow) and it doesn’t amount to a hoot in hell what its packaged in — it
likely was aged in the same vat. I think part of the resistance among
certain groups is that with economies and efficiencies in distribution as
well as production, decent quality wine will become more easily affordable
to the "lower classes", thus diluting the exclusivity. On the other hand,
to some palates, it may make a real difference. Remember, though, we’re
all bozos on this bus! Jay (and I) like the juice of rotting grain, while
others prefer the juice of rotting fruit. Can anyone truly explain this?
Merry Christmas!
I’ve got no problem with that at all. I suspect a lot of socialization
goes on in the hangers after flying. I’m just new to this aviation
scene, and haven’t developed a good sense of how different folks do
their thing at the airport. Me? I just go there to get access to my
wings. Or work on it. I have to drive 12 miles home, so I haven’t
even considered drinking at the airport. My wife, on the other hand,
would just as soon drink before a flight. (She doesn’t even like
flying commercial, so it is a special occasion when she flys in my spam
can)
tom
No doubt, judging from some of the stuff in there.
tom
Nope, I fly a homebuilt Savannah. It’s the ugly bird that takes off in
about 200 feet.
tom
I don’t think a bottle of wine has lasted more than three hours after
opening, never mind 3 months. 8^)
