Default 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.

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

No doubt, judging from some of the stuff in there.

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.

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.

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.

Something about low wing drivers liked the box because it could be set on
the wing and made for easy dispensing. :-)
