Ray,IN Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 re: crossing into Canada with liquor reference. I paid the duty imposed for having too much.

trailertraveler Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Bubble wrap can be purchased in rolls of several widths and lengths at various stores including Lowes and Home Depot. One layer will keep bottles from knocking together whether laid on their side or standing upright in whatever storage space you choose to use. It can also be used to protect any glass bottled products you may acquire and decide to carry with you as you travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offthegridmarla Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Love this thread! I was raised in Napa and think I have wine in my blood! Graduated from High School there before any tourists came. We have a wine cooler in house we are selling now so I read all your suggestions. When we had RV before it wasn't for full time so we just grabbed a few bottles and wrapped around towels in a drawer to not break and keep cooler. I loved the rack Linda showed pic of but keeping it cool will take either refrigerator or a very dark place. RV's heat up fast unless air is kept on at all times in summer.

ijitterbug Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 RE: "Box wine"... I just love the following bit of "repartee" between Jeff Dunham and Bubba J... Jeff Dunham: [to Bubba J] Besides beer, do you ever have wine at the track? Bubba J.: Yeah, I have box wine. Jeff Dunham: Box wine? Bubba J.: Yeah, it is wine that comes in a box. Jeff Dunham: Yeah. Bubba J.: It's great, 'cause if you had too much to drink, then you got something to throw up in. Baaaad, but funny! There are only two kinds of people in the world.....Those who think they can, and those who think they cannot. They are both right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk W Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 We live with much too small a refrigerator to keep a box of wine in ours and thus far we are not that regular at drinking wine so that has never been an issue for us. But we have recently become part of a wine tasting group and the introduction to the hobby has brought us to really enjoy checking out the smaller, limited production wineries that we find in our travels. We still don't know much about wines but find that taste testing is our newest hobby and just about everywhere there are local, unique wineries. Last summer in Hill City, SD we found several wineries that we really enjoyed but our favorite was Prairie Berry and my favorite is the rhubarb wine!

xctraveler Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Just to add my 2cents: We found a lovely wine rack that assembles to fit any cabinet that is deep enough. Can stack two or three high. It is in a cabinet under the dining table. In our previous coach it was in a cabinet over the sink. One day I torqued the coach going through a pot hole, slowly but not slowly enough. Two bottles of red hit the inside of the cabinet door hard enough to break free the velcro closure I had strapped around the handle to prevent just that. Good news only one bottle broke. Bad news we were on a steep descent with no place to to pull off. DW unstrapped and started cleaning up as I negotiated the grade until I could find a wide spot to pull into. Wine poured forward until it was stopped by the carpet at the forward end of the kitchen area. We never got rid of all the red stain until we sold the coach.

Giancarlo Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 I understand and have tried box wines, and know they have improved, some are even a little better then O.K. and they are cheap. But you get what you pay for . But it is just not romantic to open a box of wine like it is to do the ritual of opening a bottle of wine. to sit and enjoy a bottle of wine even a cheap bottle of wine is romantic. It is the pleasure you get from the entire evening of spending your time with a nice Lady and a bottle of wine or spending the t evening with some old Gal and a box of wine.
