In my mid-20s, I became a bit of a wine snob. After visiting Europe and trying some of the most sophisticated Bordeaux, France, I’d scoff at any standard Barefoot wine or cheap variations found at seedy American drugstores. But I’d especially turn up my nose to boxed wine, since it’s widely considered the low-brow alcohol one associates with sorority parties and college get-togethers after just turning 21. While it can be fun to feel all nostalgic and university-chic, it’s not exactly classy.
But ever since I’ve tried out these actually good boxed wines, I’ve changed my opinion entirely. The quality has gone up, and the prices have gone down, my friends. Here are the best boxed wines my besties and I are loving right now.

La Vieille Ferme Rose Box Wine
Remember how I was raving about European wine? This rosey beverage from France tastes like you’re sipping drinks on the terrace of Paris while gazing out at the sparkling Eiffel Tower at nighttime. Best sipped while listening to “La Vie En Rose” on full blast.

Obsession is the only word I could think to use to describe how much I love Big Sipper Velvety Merlot. If I could be a spokesperson for the drink, I would.
