| rancin's Full Review: Boone's Farm Wine |
In my opinion, any wine without a real cork, really isn't a wine at all.
Corks Cost Money. Corks mean aging. Corks mean real wine. Boone's Farm varieties of wine don't have corks. It isn't real wine, in my opinion, only a cheap imitation for teenagers who want a quick buzz at the lowest possible price or for people who give up quality for pennies saved.
I can't imagine turning the top on a bottle of Boone's Farm and serving it to my family on say, such an occasion as Thanksgiving Dinner. So the old saying goes, you get what you pay for, but when it comes to Boone's Farm, you get even less. AT least real wine, with real corks, can be found for about the same money - even if these competitors wines' are not high quality, at least they have the appearance of one with a cork in the bottle.
Boone's Farm has an image of youth. I doubt few teenagers have passed through these adolescent years without a sip from the Boone's Barrel of imitation flavored grapes. I would bet my paycheck that anyone who would buy Boone's Farm wine on a regular basis doesn't know how to use a corkscrew.
But with all of this information - Boone's Farm is still an American tradition I almost forgot to recognize. I've gotten tons of email from people who truely respect their Boone's Farm traditions. Recognizing that I, too, 25 years ago, was a part of the Boone's Farm adolescent tradition, I have upped my rating from a one to a two.
Face it, what can you say about Boone's Farm except for the fact that it's pretty bad.
