A lot of fun has been poked over the years at boxed wines. And rightfully so. Most of the wine sold in boxes over the past couple decades has been disgusting. But that’s starting to change. It’s not the container, it’s the wine… and there are a few producers now putting some tasty juice into boxed wines.
You no longer need to avoid boxed wines, but like any other wine you’ll still find some that are better than others. Actually, you may want to get used to the idea of boxed wines, as many in the wine industry predict that you’ll see more and more of them over time. The reason is simple, shipping costs. Bottles add a lot of extra weight to wine. While I didn’t weigh it to find out exactly, this box of Black Box wine felt about as heavy as two bottles of wine to me, yet it has the equivalent volume of four standard 750ml bottles of wine.
There are other benefits to wine in a box, besides shipping weight. The wine stays fresh longer after you open it. When you open a bottle of wine, the exposure to air degrades the quality of the wine and within a couple days it’s no good. But with bag-in-a-box wine, air does not enter the container when you open it, allowing it to stay fresh for up to 30 days.
