Rethink the box

If you're still turning up your nose at boxed wine, this is the year to put all that snobbery behind you. Everyone loves a classic bottle, but the convenience of boxed wine can’t be ignored. Plus, the global shortage of glass and aluminium during the pandemic meant that producers have looked to alternatives. This means you’ll be seeing even more greatquality wines in this format this year, including from the likes of Beyerskloof and Diemersdal. We recommend the Spier Cabernet Sauvignon 2 litre (R179.99) exclusive to Woolies, for your kitchen counter. And if you’re heading out for lunch al fresco, simply pick it up, pop in your picnic basket and go.
