Technical specifications
of Bag in box (BIB) 500 cl
A Bag in box wine (or BIB) is a wine packaged in a bag, usually made
of aluminium PET film or other plastics, and protected by a box, usually
made of corrugated cardboard. The bag is sealed by a plastic tap and used
to dispense the wine. The most common sizes are 3 or 5 litre.
The chief advantage to bag-in-a-box packaging is that it prevents oxidation
of the wine during dispensing. Wine in a bottle is oxidized by air in
the bottle which has displaced the wine poured, wine in a bag is not touched
by air and thus not subject to oxidation until it is dispensed. Bag in
a box packaging is not necessarily inferior, but is simply preferred by
producers of more economical wines because it is inexpensive. Bag in box
wine is not subject to cork taint or spoilage due to slow consumption
after opening.
You can conserve wine 3 months after opening.
Other advantages of boxed wine include efficiency of storage and transport
of rectangular boxes, and elimination of bottle breakage.
