General information about our Bag-in-Boxes:

Hose, Pitcher, Amphora

It was a long journey from glass as a luxury item - 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 earlier times, glass production was very expensive and unreliable. Thus, wine, oil, beer, and other liquids were filled into pitchers, amphoras, or leather wine skins. Only the techniques of glass blowing and glass pressing made it possible to produce bottles in large numbers.

However, glass bottles have serious disadvantages: They are fragile, heavy, require relatively much storage and shelf space, are difficult to seal (the old "cork problem") and even harder to re-seal after opening, and their environmental footprint is not intoxicating even with consistent recycling.

Good wine in new skins

A Bag-in-Box package (literally "bag in box") consists of an inner bag ("bag") made of plastic for the liquid and an outer packaging made of corrugated cardboard ("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. Since then, it has become widely adopted, especially in Anglo-Saxon countries, Scandinavia, and the wine country of France.

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

Bag-in-Box beats glass

Bag-in-Box is more environmentally friendly, ecologically and economically cheaper to produce, saves weight and volume during transport and storage (thus fuel during transport), and is easy and good to recycle - the bag in the yellow bin and the box in the paper bin. The 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 also no negative effects on the taste from the plastic of the bag - and wine in the Bag-in-Box cannot be corked.

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 Bag-in-Box.
