General information about our Bag-in-Boxes:

Hose, Jug, Amphora

It has been a long way from glass as a luxury good – as in antiquity – to today's mass product, soda-lime glass. This type of glass is used for making bottles, packaging, drinking glasses, and mirror or window glass (flat glass).
In the past, glass production was very expensive and unreliable. So wine, oil, beer, and other liquids were filled into jugs, amphorae, or leather drinking skins. Only the techniques of glass blowing and glass pressing enabled the production of bottles in large numbers.

However, glass bottles have serious disadvantages: they are fragile, heavy, require relatively lot of storage and shelf space, are difficult to seal (the old "cork problem"), and even more difficult to reseal after opening, and their environmental balance is not exhilarating even with consistent recycling.

Good Wine in New Skins

A Bag-in-Box package (literally translated as "bag-in-box") consists of an inner plastic bag ("bag") for the liquid and an outer corrugated cardboard packaging ("box") that protects the bag from mechanical damage and light exposure. The liquid is dispensed from the bag via a tap. The contents of the bag decrease without air entering the bag and without oxidation occurring.
The principle was invented in 1955 as a liquid container by William R. Scholle and was probably first used as wine packaging by an Australian winemaker in 1965, and since then it has become widely adopted, especially in Anglo-Saxon countries, Scandinavia, and the wine country France.

In New Zealand, Australia, or the USA, a considerable proportion of wine production is already sold in Bag-in-Box. In Scandinavia and Great Britain, in addition to wine, many fruit juices and dairy products are packaged this way. In Germany, it has so far been popular mainly with discounters offering wines from Southern Europe and for wine exports from renowned German wineries, but the "Bag-in-Box" is gaining more and more friends among us winemakers and connoisseurs.

Bag-in-Box beats Glass

Bag-in-Box is more environmentally friendly, ecologically and economically more favorable to produce, saves weight and volume during transport and storage (thus fuel during transport), and is easy and good to recycle: the bag into the yellow bin and the box into the paper bin. Production, use, filling, and recycling of the Bag-in-Box consume less material, thus approximately 80% less energy and less water than a glass bottle. All in all, the Bag-in-Box causes over 80% less CO2 emissions compared to the glass bottle.

In addition, due to the principle with the bag and tap, no air gets to the contents even after opening, so the wine remains enjoyable for at least 4 weeks after opening. There are no negative consequences for the taste due to the plastic of the bag – furthermore, wine in the Bag-in-Box cannot cork.

However: Bag-in-Box is not suitable for long-term storage of wine. The Bag-in-Box with wine should not be stored for longer than two years. Therefore, we only offer ready-to-drink wines in the Bag-in-Box.
