Boxes Are Better

No this is not a post about female rights.

But it is about this female's right to drink wine.

Today is the second anniversary of the death of Thomas Angove, a man that all wine drinkers should know about and appreciate.

Thomas Angrove is the inventor of boxed wine, otherwise known as a classy girl's beer keg. Once tapped it apparently keeps the wine fresh for up to six weeks, although one has never lasted that long in my household.

Not only is a box of wine easier to transport than clanking, breakable bottles, it also is environmentally responsible to drink, as it requires much less packaging.

So rather that mourning the loss of a brilliant inventor, let us tap a fresh box and drink to the invention that has made so many of our lives better.

Cheers Mr. Angove.
