Re: Old Boal in a basket
I've seen a few, but they were mainly lower end wines. I do believe this was more common in the past, which if this were the case, means the wine has been in bottle a long time.

I believe this to be one of the wines mentioned in Mannies reprint of Cossarts book that was imported to the USA in 100-case lots. I have tried this wine. Total and absolute garbage.
