Maivino (www.maivino.com)
Maivino wines are great, if not better alternatives to store bought bottled wines. Maivino wines are actually packaged in an eco-friendly airtight bag that keeps the wine fresh 30 days upon opening. They’re vegan (not all wines are in fact vegan, due to animal byproduct used in their production processes), and they also reduce carbon footprint from their packaging method. Thus far, Maivino wines have not given me the next day wine headaches ;-)
