General information about our Bag-in-Boxes:

Hose, jug, amphora

It was 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 earlier times, glass manufacturing was very expensive and unreliable. So wine, oil, beer and other liquids were filled into jugs, amphorae or leather drinking bladders. 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 a relatively large amount of storage and shelf space, are difficult to seal (the old "cork problem") and even more difficult to re-seal after opening, and their environmental balance is not impressive even with consistent recycling.

Good wine in new bags

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 box ("box") that protects the bag from mechanical damage and light. The liquid is dispensed from the bag via a tap. The bag's contents 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 established, especially in Anglo-Saxon countries, Scandinavia, and the wine-producing country of France.

In New Zealand, Australia, or the USA, a significant proportion of wine production is already sold in bag-in-box format. 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 primarily among discounters with wines from Southern Europe and for wine exports from renowned German wineries. The "Bag-in-Box" is increasingly finding favour with us winemakers and connoisseurs.

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 goes into the yellow bin and the box into the paper bin. The production, use, filling and recycling of the Bag-in-Box consumes 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 drinkable for at least 4 weeks after opening. There are also no negative effects on the taste due to the plastic of the bag – and wine in the Bag-in-Box cannot cork.

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