For Distributors

Benefits to Wine Distributors

Boxed wines have been in distribution for decades, primarily in the 5 liter size for high-volume and/or mixed retail wines sales, and in the 18 liter size for high-volume and/or casual dining on-premise by-the-glass sales.

The 3 liter fine wine cask is opening up new markets for boxed wines – fine wine off-premise and fine dining on-premise accounts. Fine wine casks have been expanding the market for premium, popular-premium, and super-premium wines, supplementing rather than replacing sales of other packaging formats such as 750 mL and 1.5 liter bottles. Sales of the 3 liter fine wine cask packaging segment have seen rapid growth since the packaging was launched in 2002, with annually growth between 20% and 44%!
