I realize this has been hashed out before but I would like to ask just a 
couple of questions..

I have just purchased my 1st wine "box", 5 liters, fine red wine"it 
says".

How do I refill the bladder when empty? Is it via the same flip up spout?

Can I use the thing without keeping the box or is the bladder too 
fragile?

What do I do with the foul stuff that is in it? I picked out what I 
figured would be a good red wine(hey, it said it was). It should have 
been(paid $11.95 for 5 liters). Now I've tasted some bad stuff but this 
is too much! 
Is this normal for the box stuff? My normal wine(when I buy it) is only 
98 cents a bottle(750ml?), and is much better.

I'm looking forward to trying out this bladder, but got to honestly say 
that it isn't worth the fuss!!

James, back to empty coke bottles.., maybe!?
