Actually, leftover box wine keeps better than leftover bottled wine, because the shrinking bladder (which happens to all of us as we get older, I suppose) keeps air from interacting with the wine.
Reminds me of that bit in one of the first episodes of “Corner Gas” when Lacey has just moved to Dog River (Pop: 300) from Toronto (Pop: 3,000,000). After work she drops into the town bar and asks “What’s the house red?”
Bartender: Not sure. (turns and shouts to someone in the back room) Hey, what’s it say on that bag of wine back there? No! That’s ketchup! The other bag.
