Wine with your 100LL?

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.

If it comes in a box, it isn't wine. Bleeccch! :-)

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?

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.
