Sommelier Tries 16 Boxed Wines ($7 to $45) | World of Wine | Bon Appétit - บันเทิง
You disregarded years of tradition by not slapping that bag of Franzia
Very disappointed
It’s okay hes uncultured in the art of slapping the wine bag
Slappa da baaaaaag!
I will say I agree with his assessment. I find most Franzia wine to be a little sweeter than it should be. I usually just buy seltzer water and mix half and half, that actually ends up REALLY delicious. haha
I like franzia. Most flavors taste pretty good. and sometimes I go for quantity over quality
I hope the world never runs out of wine for Andre to try! I can listen to him ALL day, educated, funny, and serious about his passion!
If there was a marijuana version of him 🔥
Trust me, he won't 😂

When is Andre going to do a completely blind test? e.g. Only a glass with the wine, he has to guess a price he would pay, then they show him the real price/origination country/label, etc.
It would bust his act, a lot of wine testers cant tell the difference with wine. There was a test where they were blind folded and told wine testers they were drinking cheap wine when they were actually drinking expensive wine and 9/10 times they would think it was cheap bad wine.
@@bobbysmurf9915 The study did research on college student who "took a wine class" not sommeliers. There is another study about wine competition judges who gave different ratings to the same wines when tasted blind but on average they are able to pick out the key tasting notes and determine quality for wines particularly the more popular wines.
For the average wine consumer they cannot tell difference between a 20-30 $ bottle vs a 50-100$ bottle. A sommelier ON AVERAGE can. Beginners in wine usually also prefer fruitier and simpler wines. Usually lower tannins, lower acid, very little to no "Non-fruit flavours"
You see, there’s really no point of a blind tasting. For example a same bottle of wine made in France might costs $11 in Europe but can cost $30 in the USA, so tell me, should he guessed it $11 or $30? Plus, an inexpensive wine can be amazing and some expensive wine can be just average. I don’t know why am I telling you this, because your comments basically tell me “I don’t drink wine, I just like to see people fail so I can feel better for myself.” Yeah, good for you, man.
They never will because it will expose the act. Sommeliers are scam artists, there is no difference between the taste of high-end vs low-end wine, and the whole point of being a somme is to hype up the expensive and rare wines that will make money.
@@dogshake I mean, the guy here literally just sang the praises of multiple $8 wines.
I love how he has progressively shown more of his personality and own opinion on the wines as the series has gone on. His clothes have even become more relaxed. He’s straight up telling us if the wine is crap or not now.
Did you really just say too much alcohol in a wine😳😂😂😂 bahumbug
Franzia Sunset Blush was my late step grandma's favorite wine. The hospice worker didn't allow drinking so she hid it in the dishwasher when they came over. Pulled it out for us to share the last time I saw her. RIP Donna.
Don't understand why they don't allow hospice patients to enjoy a drink
RIP Donna
Hospice literally translates to “make you comfortable as you pass because we can’t do anything”. Rip Donna, hospice worker was just on a power trip it sounds like
"Sweet for no reason" is a great way to describe Franzia.
Yeah I usually mix franzia half and half with seltzer. Mellows out the sweetness to the right level, and the bubbles are just nice.
@@alanhersch4617 I've been using a small amount of water. I should try seltzer. That sounds good.
@@Tinman3187 It is really good. I recommend getting the cans, so they bubbles are always fresh! I find the bottles go flat too fast when only using half a glass for the mix.
These videos with André are the best thing BA is doing right now. And I did like what Brad was doing but I haven't been as into him lately with Claire gone... But loving the André vids.
i’m agreeing 100%
No brad will always be great. And his videos are awesome.
@@jeremyt8313 don't disagree he is great...I just miss claire too.
Agree 100%
@@jeremyt8313 you don't have to correct someone's opinion
I think you’re supposed to call it “cardboardeaux “.
lol
thank you i will be using that for the rest of my life
There is no "off" position on the genius switch....(David letterman)
This series has got me taking my wine game more seriously.
I made Black Box for several years. You’re absolutely right, we used tons of concentrates (Mega Red/Purple).
You worked in Chile?
Constellation kinda ran a bunch of their brands to the ground -_-
@@8771curt they do it to sooo many!
"Thats not drinkable" LMAO love the honesty!
My mom drank Franzia wine about 25 years ago, and the box looked exactly the same.
As soon as I saw it I had flashbacks to that box sitting on the picnic table while we were out camping.
For me, it was my Aunt. Every time I visited I knew there'd be a box in the fridge.
...did you slap it?
Best way to keep costs down on a product is to not change anything and minimal marketing. This is why brand name cereals tend to be more expensive, constantly changing the box art, and paying for ads all the time. Doesnt mean franzia is quality...... just they are good bang for buck.
I feel so classy watching these videos.
LOL
I love the fact that he does wines ordinary people can afford
Honestly, I’m only subscribed to BA for André. He always makes my day!
Me too! More André please!
Same

We have a saying in Australia about box wine, or goon - specifically Golden Oak - "Fruity Lexia makes you sexier". Box Wine culture in Australia is peak.
Ah, goon. I know it well.
Just absolutely love watching Andre in his element, such a classy and eloquent guy. I have never found anyone as educated, tactful, articulate, or well rounded as this man when it comes to explaining the incredibly nuanced and complicated world of wine to people of all levels of understanding on the subject. I look forward to 100 more of these wine reviews, I see an empire being built! Bravo!
You forgot clean.😅
I honestly stopped buying the Black Box wine because I was having 5 glasses a night. No accountability when you can’t see the vessel empty out. I didn’t want to become a drunk 😂 so bottled wine for me!
me too!
Girl...I feel you. Mine be done by day 2 maybe 3
I love this dude - instantly click when he drops a video 👏🏼(applause emoji), 🥂(cheers emoji), 🤩(awesome face emoji)
The only reason I subscribe to this channel for this gentleman
Same. I never subscribe to anyone I would not invite to a BBQ.
I appreciate Andre’s approach to make the world of wine less intimidating and approachable for all
Can Andre have his own channel already, something like a wine recommendation a week.
What would be the difference? Generics love throwing ' give own show..give own channel..give presidency...so and so is underrated' stop wirh the tiresome clichés
Andre has encouraged me to try new wines and this is my favourite series on this channel. More please
“Wine is an expression of time and place” I think that is a great quote!
Thanks, man. I love a good boxed wine to keep on hand for cooking. The tricky part is finding the “good”box. This helps. I wish that one of the white wines had stood out :(
Exactly this. I was using two of my wine dispenser's four taps for wine that I use for cooking, but with boxed wine able to stay fresh for several weeks I no longer have to sacrifice this space.
The beautiful thing about box wine no air into the bag. Open a bottle the entire bottle is aired. I cook with wine and don't ruin a box by a glass at a time.
Ground up deer or bison add wine 😆
Need moisture to reheat a rice dish add wine.
Mac n cheese dried out add wine.
Water = moisture
Wine = flavors
Glass is heavy to transport and breakage. Paper and plastic lighter.
It's nice to open a great bottle but for everday cooking and drinking 😒
CAN'T beat a box. And don't get me started on clearance time. Deer and wine a great combination.
Army AL
Live well
The only potential downside of no air, is that when you pour a glass, a bit of patience to let it breath is worth, where with a bottle, the whole thing gets to breathe so your second glass+ you can drink straight away. With a bit of patience though you remove that only downside.
WHAT?
I could listen to him talk wine whole day...keep the videos coming!
I’m always proud to be an Australian when boxed wine (although we call it “cask wine” or just a goon sack 🤣) is discussed. It was a great invention, but has mostly been used only for terrible, cheap wine til now. The carbon footprint is lower, if recyclable elements are used that’s awesome too, and as Andre explained, it can stay fresh for a long time as no oxygen is introduced into the container when pouring. So, hooray for box wine finally coming into its own! Now if only Australia, the originators, would catch up! Not one of the brands shown is freely available here and most liquor stores here, even the big ones, have a choice of only about 5. I will be watching this space eagerly.
Australians have the best names for things
This post isn’t getting enough love. It led me down a short rabbit hole where on the other side was goon of fortune. Aussies do it right!
I don't understand a thing about wine but would and will listen to Andre for hours 😳
I don't even like wine but his descriptions are something else
We regularly get in the Herisson rose for larger summer gatherings and everyone is pleasantly surprised by how good it is.
I enjoy the way he explains the wines and gives them an emoji.
He's so enjoyable to watch. Made me interested in wine as well.
As a South African I'm patiently waiting for him to try out our wines we produced alot of wine 🍷
Thursday and I expect to see CS somewhere else on TH-cam and instead I see a new Andre video???!!! What a great day😍
I don’t drink but i do enjoy watching Andre review wines. More pls
DUDE I AGREE WITH THE BOTA BOX, the red blend mix is just fine but for some reason the pino is just like chemical tasting
i call it my grasscutting wine ... similar to pbr 😂
Wow just started to binge watch André’s videos for the past day and this new one gets an upload - woohoo 😁
keep giving us Andre videos! These are so enjoyable to watch and I truly learn so much!
Ahhh franzia. Brings me back to binge drinking it in college and slapping the bag
I hate wine, but I LOVE this series!! Apparently grabbing the wine closest to the beer section does not make for popular gifts lol... At least now can pick a decent bottle (they still all taste the same to me though)
The joy that floods over me when Andre's videos appear.
I’ve been buying the Viña Borgia for years so I breathed a sigh of relief when he liked it 😎
Black box Cabernet Sauvignon used to be very good but it's gotten progressively sweeter and less structured.
Even though six weeks is the suggested drinking window I've found that since air doesn't get into the wine you can keep drinking it as long as propriety allows.
Wonderful, much needed and well done review.
i LOVE this series w/ André, please keep em coming!!
I take those bandit wines camping. They fit nicely in the cooler and the white is nice after hiking around all day.
This is amazing! He adds so much value to this video. Please keep making more like this. Well done!
Super glad you guys are running with this series.
I really like Andre's reviews on wine and his emogy rating systems. Please continue making more videos of him!
Started watching this show and just wanted to give my 2 cents on the côte du rhone as a French wine seller. What you described was exactly the typical côte du rhone. They are known has being the strongest wine in France similarly to Saint Estephe.
I don't drink but enjoy listening to your reviews 😊👍
I love how Andre maintains his exact same demeanor and tone of voice while he goes utterly savage on a bad wine
The emoji says it all … 🥰or🤢
Get this man his own series
Caught an Andre Mack video earlier, so going on a binge now. Delighted to see I have some more content to enjoy.
Franzia was my go to college get drunk quick and easy with my teammates after a rugby game beverage. We would slap the bag as hard as we could and chug for as long as we could. Definitely very sweet and usually had a massive headache that next morning.
I really enjoyed this video!! I sent it to my mom because she would like it too but now I have to explain emoji to her 🤣😭
Ayyyy my boy Andre! Always happy to see ya
I'm going to say this again... I LOVE this series!
Best friend of a single woman older than 30.
Love seeing Andre!!
Love André! Such a great host, keep the videos coming👍🏾
I can't grasp how people learn to notice the undertones in wine. To me it literally just tastes good bad, sweet or not sweet.
They don't, it's all BS. There's been several blind tests that confirm this.
Comparative tasting can be a good tool for learning your palate i.e try two or three wines side by side and then you can often get a idea that one tastes more like pear and the other more like apple or something like that. Just remember that taste is subjective so whatever it tastes like to you is what it tastes like. As you practice more you'll be able to pick out more different falavours and find words to describe them.
@@MannerlyGem There are only about 270 Sommelier's in the world that can taste most of the undertones in many wines. That's not subjective it's science. Everyone else is just being facetious and pretentious.
@@MannerlyGem Kind of. Do you links to the specific tests? Most people that say this dont. The tests claiming bs about wine testing are about overall quality, not about undertones. So in many blind tests cheap wine is rated highly, the tests arent looking for if they get the subtlety right. Now, if you do know of studies that are about that I would love to see them!
I could watch him talk about wine all day everyday
Sandy Giovese (play on sangiovese grape name ) is awesome and it lasts about 3 weeks in the first after opening. Chill it and it really goes with BBQ, pizza, charcuterie. Love this box wine!
Yes! Another Andre video! I love them all! Selfishly, I would love to seem him rate Canadian wines
I've never even thought about Canadian wines. I need to correct this!
Love this series!
The best box wine I ever had was Vin Vault. The Pinot Noir and the Red Blend were both very enjoyable. I haven't been able to find it online or in stores for at least six years.
I especially appreciated the BYOB "redo." :)
Keep more Andre videos coming!
This is excellent content. Entertaining and immediately useful.
I'd love to go wine shopping with this guy. He's awesome!
Thanks for your honest opinions; helping wine drinkers to not waste their dwindling disposable budgets on undrinkable wine.
How about the Kirkland boxed wine? I like it...no shame. 🤗
Love watching André do his thing!
My favorite wine review channel on yt by far👏👏👏
More Andre please! Best content on BP!
I haven't even pressed play and I'm already loving this!
An excellent review of box wine. Thank you.
Best notification all day, Andre is back once again🙏🏽
I love him! Please make more vids with andre 🤩
I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Very informative, very quick, very entertaining.. I even got a new wine 2 try out the deal.. absolutely, well done !! 🤭🤭😍🥰
Finally the video I've been waiting for. *adds to favorites
He is so entertaining and informative💗💗
Love this dude's use of the English language, both style and content.
Are there sake sommeliers? I would loooooove to see a series of that
There has to be, and that sounds fascinating.
That sounds like a million dollar idea
Thank you! I hate pulling out a bottle for casual weeknight dinners. I had been enjoying Usual red wine blend, but the price was higher than I want to pay for a daily wine! I ordered the Sandy Giovese ASAP. I’m really looking forward to trying it out.
Bon Appétit, please do more videos with André! He is SO entertaining and a wealth of knowledge.
Loving Andre’s vids
Very great host really enjoy his style, knowledge and humor.
I love all of André's content
Bon Appétit, can you do a subscription service wine next like Bright Cellars. They're cheap so I wanted to give it a try but I have no idea if the wine is good or not.
Great idea!
They're not that cheap, not after the first box...
The pacing of these videos is perfect!!!
Me after watching this video drinking my $9 gas station wine: “Ahhh yes , I’m getting earthy, dirt, cranberry, a mouse and a hint of pickle.”
Love this guy! I want to see him give taste notes on other types of alcohol too.
I need more Andre ❤️in my head he’s my drinking buddy
I demand more Andre Mack ASAP as possible!!
These reviews are awesome
Love this so much
I’ve been buying target’s Malbec boxed wine for a few years … love it
In my opinion boxes wine is the best way to get a quality wine for cooking that won’t go bad between meals
