When I was in high school, there were real wine coolers such as California Coolers. Now all the coolers are malt beverages; basically flavored beer. Are there any coolers with wine?

A wine cooler is an alcoholic beverage made from wine and fruit juice, often in combination with a carbonated beverage and sugar.
Traditionally home-made, in recent decades these have been bottled and sold by commercial distributors, especially in areas where their lower alcohol content causes them to come under less restrictive laws than wine itself. Because most of the flavor in the wine is obscured by the fruit and sugar, the wine used in wine coolers tends to be of the cheapest available grade. In the 1990s, most commercial wine cooler brands (such as Bartles & Jaymes) changed the alcohol base of the drink from wine to flavored beer. Bartles & James refers to their beer based drink as a "flavored malt cooler".

I have found that for cooking those boxes of wine work great. They fit on the counter well, dispense easily, and don't go bad before you use 'em up. They taste all right to drink, but the reality is that I prefer to drink the good wine and cook with the so-so stuff. I won't use really poor wine or that stuff they call 'cooking wine'. What IS that stuff anyway.

Everything here is flavored malt liquor(texas). Try this:
Take a favorite wine, and mix it with club soda until the taste is right.
Or wine with 7 up, or cherry 7 up. We call them spritzers. They're great.

Yes, they still make them. They can be found in most grocery stores and in convenient stores.

Even if it did have wine, you couldn't buy it anyway, wine is alcohol too!
