Why Boxed Wine?

- Eco-friendly: Boxed wine produces less waste, as it uses less material, and the packaging is generally more recyclable.

- Freshness: The vacuum-sealed bag inside the box prevents air from coming into contact with the wine, keeping it fresher for longer.
- Value: Boxed wine is often more affordable than bottled wine and provides more servings per package, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious wine enthusiasts.
- Portability: The design of the box makes it easy to transport and store, without the risk of broken glass.
Opening Boxed Wine: Step-by-Step Guide
So, without further ado, let's dive into the step-by-step guide on how to properly open a box of wine:
Step 1: Remove the Seal
- First, check for a perforated or pre-cut opening at the top of the box. Carefully remove the cardboard flap along the perforation or by cutting it gently with scissors or a knife.
- Some boxes may have a small plastic pull-tab that needs to be removed, or the box may need to be cut open with a utility knife.
Step 2: Locate and Extract the Spout
- After the seal is removed, find the spout inside the box. It's usually tucked beneath the now-removed flap.
- Gently pull the spout out through the opening and follow any instructions on the box for securing it in place, such as a twist-on tab.
- If a protective cap covers the spout, remove it and discard.
Step 3: Ready the Tap Mechanism (If Applicable)
- Some boxed wines have a built-in tap mechanism to make pouring easier. If your box has such a feature, follow the instructions on the packaging to activate it before moving onto the next step. Usually, this may involve twisting a nozzle or pushing a button.
Step 4: Pour Your Wine
- Hold your wine glass under the spout and gently press the tap or nozzle to release the wine. Make sure to control the release, so you pour the desired amount of wine into your glass.
- If your boxed wine doesn't have a tap mechanism, carefully pour the wine directly from the spout into your glass.
Step 5: Seal and Store
- When you're done pouring, make sure to close the tap (if applicable) to prevent leakage.
- Store the remaining wine in an upright position in a cool, dark place to preserve its freshness.
