Do the wines get shipped in a wooden box?
Nope--Cardboard with the MacD logo stamped on it.
And it's the best looking, and best presentation of any wine that's shipped in cardboard.
In order:
OWC
MacDonald
Others
Nice! Curious how it looks.

Was on a Virgin Galactic rocket orbiting earth with Richard Branson and Alex last week. Can confirm the 16s were excellent and that flying/altitude really doesn’t impact a wines taste.
Yes! And I was piloting the rocket while you guys drank all the wine without me!

Very strange. Store bought wine tastes fine, so we won’t blame you or your palate. I hope I read your experience correctly. That’s crucial. Yet, the store bought wine probably faced far greater travails a of temperature and conditions. If only a month in your unit turned your Alpha Omega into “vine...

It was my understanding that frequent temperature change is not good for wines. Especially if it is fluctuating 11-12 degrees. It is probably changing temp every 30 mins or so. That is correct. I reset my thermometer 2 hours ago. within the last 2 hours it has gone from 59 to 47 degrees. My eurocav...

Lots of confused posts here. If you are ordering for delivery in Belgium then you pay Belgian VAT when ordering. If you are ordering for delivery direct to the US then in theory no Belgian VAT should be charged. However few small merchants online systems would be set up to deal with this so the ans...

To what country are you ordering? Not sure about the details but if you order within EU then some retailers seem to be able to apply VAT (+excise duty) applicable for the country of delivery/sale. Usually the larger ones. Guess that requires establishing a VAT number in that country and can probabl...

How many post vintage years should I be aging this before opening?
From my experience drink now or within 5 years. A friend opened a magnum of 2010 Honig Bartolucci vineyard bottling that seemed well past peak. I think these wines are made for early drinking
Thanks

I left the poll to each individuals' interpretation. I wanted an end of weekday fun simple poll to relax our minds and wind down.
But I definitely didnt have "generic" wines in mind when creating this poll.
