Why use bag-in-box bags to packing wine?

Bag-in-box (BIB) packaging is a popular method used to pack wine for several reasons:

1. Preservation of freshness: BIB bags are designed to minimize contact between the wine and the air. The bag is constructed of a flexible, airtight material that helps prevent oxidation and keeps the wine fresh for a longer period compared to traditional wine bottles. As wine is dispensed from the bag, the bag collapses, further reducing the amount of air in contact with the wine, which helps to preserve its quality.

2. Extended shelf life: The airtight design of BIB bags helps to extend the shelf life of wine once it's opened. Since air exposure is minimized, the wine inside the bag remains fresh for several weeks or even months, depending on the specific wine and storage conditions. This is particularly advantageous for establishments that serve wine by the glass or individuals who enjoy wine in moderation over an extended period.

3. Cost-effective: BIB packaging is often more cost-effective than traditional wine bottles. The bags themselves are relatively inexpensive to produce, and they require less material and energy during manufacturing and transportation compared to glass bottles. Additionally, BIB packaging eliminates the need for corks, capsules, and labels, further reducing costs.

4. Convenience and portability: BIB bags are lightweight, easy to handle, and convenient to transport. They are commonly available in various sizes, ranging from smaller volumes suitable for home use to larger formats for commercial applications. The bags are typically fitted with a tap or dispenser, allowing easy pouring and minimizing the risk of spills.

5. Sustainability: aseptic BIB bag packaging is considered more environmentally friendly compared to traditional glass bottles. The bags use less packaging material, resulting in reduced waste generation. Additionally, BIB packaging has a smaller carbon footprint due to its lighter weight and efficient use of space during transportation.
