General information about our Bag-in-Box products:

Hose, jug, amphora

It was a long way from glass, a luxury good – as in antiquity – to today's mass product, soda-lime glass. This type of glass is used for the production of 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 wineskins. Only the techniques of glass blowing and glass pressing enabled the production of bottles in large numbers.

But 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"), 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 packaging (literally "bag-in-box") consists of an inner plastic bag ("bag") for the liquid and an outer packaging made of corrugated cardboard ("box") which protects the bag from mechanical damage and light. 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 established primarily in Anglo-Saxon countries, Scandinavia, and the wine-growing country of 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, many fruit juices and dairy products are also packaged this way, in addition to wine. In Germany, the "Bag-in-Box" has so far been particularly popular with discounters offering wines from Southern Europe and for wine exports from renowned German wineries, and is increasingly finding friends among 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 in the yellow bin and the box in the paper bin. Production, use, filling and recycling of the Bag-in-Box uses less material, thus about 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 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 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. 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.
