Box Wine

I had boxed wine in my NON hard cooler, it was out all night and part of a day, is it still drinkable? OR should I dump it?
Answer From Expert Roger Bohmrich MW

The short answer is that, unless you have been holding onto the box for years, it should be completely drinkable. When it comes to boxed wine, buy what you intend to drink within a few months.
