Never had a glass from a box that tasted good. But I've had plenty of bottled wine that was overpriced and bad.

Too bad future generations aren't here to see all the great things we are spending their $$ on!!

I've had a few good box wines, I really like that they keep longer because they are less susceptible to oxidation. Finishing a bottle in an evening, or over a few days never used to be a problem, but now I'm lucky to finish a bottle within a week (anytime I have a glass with dinner, I am very likely to fall asleep before I'm done working for the day so I've been going without).
Check out some online reviews - Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, or even cooking magazines might have some good recommendations. Or ask around at your favorite wine shop!
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

thanks SC, I feel the same, one glass for dinner and I am ready for bed, so wine lasts me a long time too. I am also wondering how the acids in the wine and the plastic of the inside of the box react with each other, that just occurred to me.
