Freshness and Inventory

Boxed wines – like other innovative wine packaging – are designed to be sold and consumed quickly. The nature of boxed wines is such that wineries, distributors, and trade accounts are moving inventories rapidly. It is important to note that wineries provide on the box packaging either a “Boxed/filled/packed-on” date or a “Consume/use/best by” date.

Fine wine casks using Scholle’s DuraShield® wine bag and FlexTap® have a measured shelf life of 12 months unopened in proper storage.

Like other fresh products such as beer (and of course dairy and juices), working with your staff and customers can keep your inventory in proper rotation. The freshness date can be used as a marketing benefit to your customers, assuring them of the freshest wine!
