A term used for low quality wines that are sold in large bottles, or jugs. While this type of wine rarely has much written about it, it is important to remember that most of the wine made in the world is in fact, of jug wine quality.
American term for inexpensive, ordinary wines sold in half-gallon or gallon jug bottles. Associated with lower quality wines.
inexpensive wine sold in large bottles or jugs
Term used for cheap wines made in jug like serving containers, especially in California in the 60s. Made from a blending of various grapes. One can drink from the container directly.
Called "jugs" because of the larger shape/size of the bottle. They are simple, economic wines favored by the old times/old school Italians, but not of very high quality or taste. A "Chianti" from a jug can often taste more like a rose wine. Again, for with simple meals at home, not to impress dinner guests or a date.
