I have recently discovered wine in a box, and it may be super daggy but itâs very convenient.

Pinot Grigio, but itâs on the fruitier end of tgat spectrum. Goes all right with my gourmet dinner of hummus and savoys.

Noice. Keep the pillow for some aussie decor.

Nah, the proper destination of the interior of a wine cask is WINE CASK FOOTY!!! Only to be played by seriously pissed people at a bbq or by anyone hiking in the wilderness. Wonderful fun for all ages.

Back in the 70s, a bloke named Len Evans was a notable wine expert. Consulted all over the world for his fine palate yada yada. A snobby USA reporter asked him what he kept in his cellar - expecting a list of fine vintages. Len (bless him!) replied 'Oh I donât keep a cellar - all the cardboard boxes went soggy".
Seriously, our cask wine just outperforms all other countries on the cheap but good standard. Do not, I beg you, drink cheap wine in France. Itâs called vin du table because itâs made from real tables. Of the chipboard variety.

I believe cask wine was invented (the cask part) in SA, so itâd make sense weâre quite good at it!
I donât really want the pressure to drink the whole bottle in a few days. Sometimes thatâs easy, sometimes I go ages without a drink. 4 litres on tap, thatâs cold whenever you want, is super convenient.

Indeed it is.

That got a really good Friday chuckle out of me. Never stop, o Witch of Thornburg!
