I've heard that, too, but I'm leery.
Supposedly boxes are the screw tops of the future - they look cheap now, but preserve the flavor as well if not better than glass, and are much cheaper to manufacture.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Also lighter to ship.

Right, which makes then greener.

Wouldn't let light in either.
This is also applicable to cans coming back in microbrewery ditribution.

This may all be true, but you will pry my wine bottles out of my cold dead hands. Or something.

I love my Lake Michigan water source. When my mom still lived in Minooka (far southwest 'burbs), they had some other source and it was nasty tasting stuff. I'd go to visit her with a few bottles of water I had refilled from my tap just so I could avoid hers.
When I went to the grocery store on Sunday, I bought beer for home for the first time in years, maybe even a decade. I buy beer to take to parties and might have some leftover to bring home, but I hardly ever drink at home, especially when I'm by myself. However, I couldn't pass up Smithwicks on sale ($14 for a 12-pack). Love that smooth stuff!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think it's worthwhile to point out that a standard serving of vitamin water is as caloric as a standard serving of Coke.
How so? Not the standard serving of VitaminWater I have in my desk and the standard serving of Coke I looked up on the web. And the ounce by ounce comparisons are wildly disparate.
I still think the stuff's too sweet, but turning people off it by comparing it to Coke is heavy handed and clumsy.
