Between The Bottle And The Box, There Is The Barrel

Filed under: Wine

A lot of people are cutting back on their wine budget but not necessarily their wine consumption. If you fall into that category Sonoma-based Red Truck Wines has a new product halfway between the bottle and the box. It will be rolling out a three-liter mini barrel full of Red Truck Red Wine. Red Truck Red Wine is a blend of Syrah, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. The barrel has an easy-to-use spout and can keep wine fresh for up to six weeks. A single bottle of the Red Truck Red is around $10. The barrel holds four bottles worth and sells for around $30. It will be sold at Sam's Club stores nationwide.

Eva Solo Barrel Grill

A good grill is really a must-have for the 4th of July, which is one of the biggest days of the year for outdoor cooking. There are endless debates over the merits of charcoal vs. gas, but the look and quality of the grill are important, too. After all, you're not going to end up with a quality steak if you're grill can't handle the heat.

Significantly less complex than some of our previously featured outdoor grills, the Eva Solo Barrel Grill is a sleek beauty that could be mistaken for a sculpture in the yard. The grill is a classic barrel, where the charcoal (or wood chips, if you prefer) is put down into the base where a removable coal bucket sits. It is made entirely of stainless steel, including a stainless, heavy-duty grill top. You can also use it as a sort of firepit/outdoor heater after grilling. The grill itself is $560, but you can get a domed lid for an additional $120 or a jacket-like zippered cover for $51 as optional accessories.
