I'm glad you find this month a challenge - the biggest growth category in the box wine market in the U.S. seems to be upscale 3L boxes that sell from $5 to $7 per bottle equivalent, but would cost $10+ if packaged in 750ml bottles. I hope you can find something interesting in your market. A few months ago in Venice I found the ultimate in cheap packaging - a shop that displayed big stainless steel vats of wine and filled 1.5 liter bottles (recycled, of course) for a few euros - a fraction of the cost of a glass of wine in an average restaurant. The price was great, but the wine was, well, not so great! Wow, 30L is a lot of wine!

Try the Vignobles Fompérier's (Cellier des Gourmets) in La Gaffelière near the railway. Sure we have good (or not so bad) french wines in Bag-in-Box ou Cubies.
