Pouring from the ever more popular wine box is not always uncomplicated. To raise its spigot over a glass in the middle of a table or counter, one must hold it up by the handle or rest it on a metal support.
A light, effective elevating structure might be an inflatable bag that comes with the bag in the box. The plastic tube support would be folded under a bottom, tear-away flap. Two lungfuls of air should be sufficient to inflate and stiffen the tube truss framework with one diagonal on each side.
A self-closing valve and a wide base would ensure that the heavy box stands sturdy eight inches over the serving surface. Skål!-- FarmerJohn, Jan 02 2004 I dunno.
