Frequently asked questions
What is a bag-in-Box system?
What is a bag-in-Box system?
Bag-in-box is a packaging concept that was already developed in the fifties. The wine packaging consists of an inner bag (tube) with an integrated tap and an outer packaging (usually made of cardboard).
The wine bag is hermetic, i.e. no air flows into the wine tube during tapping. Instead, the wineskin contracts to equalize pressure so that no oxidation can take place in the wineskin. This is hygienic. Where other opened wine packaging cannot keep the contents fresh for very long, BIB packaging allows you to take longer when consuming. Handy hu?
What are the advantages of wine in Bag-in-Box (BiB) packaging?
What are the advantages of wine in Bag-in-Box (BiB) packaging?
Wines can be kept for a long time in this type of packaging because it does not come into contact with air - even after opening. There is no oxidation, which means that the wine can be drunk for up to 6 weeks without any loss of quality.
The bag-in-box packaging ensures optimal cooling due to its shape & material. While glass bottles account for 40% of the total weight of conventional wines, the BiB scores with an enormously low value of only 5% of the total weight. The BiB offers a volume efficiency of up to 98%, for bottles this value is only 40%.
But glass is super sustainable, isn’t it?
But glass is super sustainable, isn’t it?
Yes and no. Deposit glass from around your area is always the best choice when it comes to packaging. That system does not exist for wine bottles though. As they go into your waste glass, they are being broken apart and melted down to produce new bottles. That process never works without adding some new glass. That process needs a lot of energy. Because of their shape and fragility, bottles need more packaging when being transported. They also create a higher CO2 emission because of their weight.
Compared to bottles, bag-in-box packaging has a better CO₂ balance: on the one hand, BiB saves weight (40% compared to bottles), on the other hand, space (also 40%), mainly due to the cuboid shape, BiB is more volume efficient. Both aspects result in lower CO₂ emissions during transport. Similar to glass, both tubing and cardboard are 100% recyclable.
How to recycle the box?
How to recycle the box?
Made from natural, renewable cellulose fibers, the outer packaging can be easily recycled via paper waste, making it very environmentally friendly. The bag you can put into the "Gelbe Tonne“.
The material is 100% recyclable and thus has a very good carbon footprint.
What are the differences between the Bag-in-Box and Tetra Pak packaging?
What are the differences between the Bag-in-Box and Tetra Pak packaging?
Bag-in-box is a very different form of packaging than Tetra Pak. Wine in Tetra Pak must be drunk within a short time after opening because it comes into contact with oxygen, which starts the oxidation process that negatively changes the taste of the wine.
The wine in the Bag-in-Box packaging, on the other hand, consists of cardboard only on the outside. Inside there is a tube made of polyethylene (PE) with a tap. Through the tap, no air penetrates inside even after opening. The wine tube contracts on withdrawal (vacuum effect). This means that the wine does not come into significant contact with oxygen, so there is no risk of rapid oxidation.
Unlike Tetra Pak, the Bag-in-Box can be 100% recycled when disposed of separately - paper and plastic - and is particularly sustainable and environmentally friendly.
Is the Bag-in-Box safe for health? What about plasticizers?
Is the Bag-in-Box safe for health? What about plasticizers?
Concerns about harmful substances in the tubes used are unfounded: The plastics used for the wine tubes are free of plasticizers and phenols. The wine tubing in our bag-in-box packaging is made of PE (polyethylene) plastic. Polyethylene does not contain any plasticizers. Polyethylene (PE) is not to be confused with PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which is often used for beverage bottles and may contain plasticizers. PET comes from the polyester family, PE from the polyolefin family. They are therefore completely different plastics.
