jug wine
Budget gallon bottle
Jug wine is inexpensive table wine sold in large bottles or jugs, typically holding a gallon or more.
The term suggests cheap, mass-produced wine of unremarkable quality—adequate for casual drinking or cooking but nothing to savor: We bought some jug wine for the party.
The format has largely given way to boxed wine.
