What about these for wine storage...as opposed to bottles.

I am always looking for new ways to store my wine and beer. Anyone ever try one of these? Wonder if it would affect the taste? Storage is much easier than bottles. Redefines Franzia!!

I don't think they would be able to withstand the pressure of a carbonated beverage, should work well enough for still wines though. I think most, if not all commercially produced wine kits put their juice/concentrates into similar bags & then into boxes for structural integrity. Those "box o' wine" type wines you buy in the store have similar bags inside the boxes.

there was a guy selling brand new wine boxes on here he had a thread about a year ago

I am still very new to this. Are bottles cheaper?

I can get a case of 12 bottles at the LHBS for around $16-18. You do need corks and a corker, of course, but I think it's still far cheaper even with that initial investment.

I also get free wine bottles from the wine bar in the building where I work. They leave them out back and I just grab what I want before they toss them. I think I've collected ~120 bottles in the last 6 weeks or so.

I also get some beer bottles from them, but not many. A case of 24 12oz bottles locally is only $16, so still cheaper.

Those do look cool for portable use though
