Perhaps it was unwise to expect anything from a Target Wine Cube. However, I’d had their boxed Pinot Grigio and Cabernet / Shiraz in the past, both of which weren’t bad, especially the Cabernet. And Riesling is my favorite white, so I was excited to see it in a 1.5 liter cube. Riesling doesn’t keep well after opened, Sarah doesn’t generally drink, and I’m not one to down a bottle of wine in a sitting. So it seemed like a great idea.
The results were beyond disappointing–the flavor was bitter and acidic, as if it had been left uncorked in the fridge for a few days. I dumped out the glass I’d poured and had a Trader Joe’s Cider instead.
To Target’s credit, they accepted my return of the opened wine and gave me a full refund. And, for all I know, this was just one cube that had gone bad. But I don’t plan on giving it a second chance.
