Box" wine questions

Boxing(actually bagging) wine is a great idea. A consumer bag storage system would be wonderful. Pull the cork, and put the first half of the bottle in a properly prepared bag.

I found a decent syraz blend, and a decent chard blend a couple years ago in saintsbury's in london.

If one is careful about pouring and sealing, the partially filled bag should last a significient percentage of the same time as the full bag. One could probably easily generate a equation to relate surface area to volume to determine aging.

It would be interesting to do a blind tasting with half emptied bags of say 1,2,4,8,16 and even 32 days aging to see if those who say they can tell the difference after a day or two.

Always wanted to decant a bottle of something extremely obvious, like '95 Insigna into a box, take it to a snooty BYOB where nothing on their list is allowed in, and offer a taste to all interested and see if they can come close.

Conchi de toro had a very decent cab in a box about 15 years ago. Perhaps it was a mistake, as was most good chilian wine 15 years ago.
