I'm about to buy a couple of summer wine kits to make some light, easy-drinking social wines for summer BBQs and parties. The type of wines I'm referring to are the RJS Orchard Breezin' kits and the Mosti Mondial Summer Breeze kits.
For these kinds of events, I'd like to avoid bottles. I expect the wine to be consumed rapidly and in volume, so I don't want to spend a lot of time and effort bottling a wine that isn't intended for cellaring.
I found these 2.2 gallon spigotted mylar bags, and I wonder if anyone here has used these for their wines?

I gather that these are not a normal retail item, but numerous survivalist sites and ebay sellers offer them at a reasonable price. The sellers claim that these are the bags that box wines are packaged in. If so, it would seem to be a great packaging system that home winemakers could take advantage of for early-drinking non-cellared wines. They might work well for Skeeter Pee too.
Three bags is all that would be needed to package a finished six gallon kit of wine. Has anyone here tried them?
