1. Because it preserves the wine – Secured in a vacuum sealed bag the system preserves the wine an average of 4-6 weeks eliminating the need to consume the wine upon opening.
2. Because it’s cost effective – At $18-$24 a box for 3 LITERS in the current economic climate, box wine is an ideal option for everyday wine consumption.
3. Beacuse it’s eco-friendly – Made with recycled materials box wines stay ‘green’ after your last sip. Tetra paks wines ( 1 liter or smaller) use less energy to make than glass bottles and if 2.4 billion liters of wine were converted to Tetra pak the environmental impact would be equal to removing 377,000 cars from the highway.
4. Because everyone’s doing it – Outside the US box wine has a strong following particularly in Australia and a 30% market share in Sweden with both France and Italy embracing the box with 70% of French wine drinkers saying that would offer box wine to guests and the Italian government offering its quality rating to box wine.
5. Because it’s good – Box winemakers like Black Box source their grapes from well established wine regions. While the finer vintages may reserved for the bottle these winemakers consider the box to be an everyday alternative.
