Wine in bag in box
Bag in Box (BiB for short) wine allows you to buy a large quantity of wine that is easy to store and ready to use. A Bag in Box consists of a bag ("Bag") specially designed to contain and store this type of product, which is placed in a cardboard or wooden box ("Box"). The bag is fitted with a tap from which it is easy to pour the wine into a carafe or directly into a glass. Cartons, on the other hand, are usually equipped with plastic handles that allow the Bag in Box to be comfortably transported.
Wines in a Bag in Box are still, i.e. white wines, red wines and rosé wines.
The advantages of Bag in Box wine
Wine in a Bag in Box offers several advantages. First of all, wine preservation. The wine preserves longer: wine lasts longer in an open Bag in Box than in an open bottle, as contact with oxygen and light is reduced. A wine in a Bag in Box will keep for up to 12 months if still packaged, up to 5 weeks if uncorked, with the guarantee of quality lasting from the first to the last glass thanks to the dispensing tap, which allows the liquid to escape but not the air to enter.
Another advantage is weight, as 3 litres of wine in a Bag in Box are lighter to transport than transporting the same amount in glass bottles.
Safety! The Bag in Box is easier to transport, e.g. when transporting in the boot, there is no danger of the glass breaking.
Buying and drinking wine in a Bag in Box is a more sustainable purchasing choice. Bag in Box, unlike glass bottles, reduces CO2 emissions.
