Black Box Pinot Grigio

Black Box Pinot Grigio pours at 12.5% ABV — a standard-strength white that keeps things light and sippable without tipping into heavy territory. This is the chilled-glass-on-a-warm-evening kind of wine, and because it comes boxed rather than bottled, it keeps for weeks after you first pour instead of going flat overnight.

Made from California Pinot Grigio grapes, it leads with bright citrus and crisp green apple before finishing clean and refreshing. Serve it well chilled and it slips happily alongside grilled salmon, roast chicken, a crunchy summer salad or a plate of garlicky shrimp — easygoing food-wine that asks nothing of you but a cold glass.

The 3-litre box holds the equivalent of four standard bottles, so it’s built for relaxed pouring: a couple of glasses tonight, a few more next week, with no half-finished bottle losing its sparkle in the fridge. Prefer a smaller format? The 500ml box is there for when you just fancy a glass or two.
