FAQ
Back in elementary school, your teacher told you there is no such thing as a silly question. The only silly question was the question that was not asked. We agree!
This page is specifically devoted to frequently asked questions and maybe some infrequently asked questions.
Do you have a question about boxed wines or maybe just wines in general? If so, ask us!
Please submit your question and we’ll be happy to provide you an answer.

just bought a bota boxed malbec; have always refrigerated their white wines. how about the reds? i know they last one month, but do they need to be refrigerated? and then, if so, what does that do to a red wine? please help.

I need a carry case for boxed wine. Wineberry.com produces a nice wooden box, but it’s not reusable. Any suggestions?
I am starting The Belly Fat Cure diet/lifestyle. It allows dry white wine. What is the sugar and carb count of your whites, specifically Black Box Monterey County Chardonnay?
Hi Suzanne, Black Box provides a customer service number on their website. It is 877-801-2042. You might want to call them to get the nutrition facts. However, I did a quick internet search. I found that there are 95 calories in a glass of Chardonnay. See link: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/chardonnay-calories-per-glass.html.
Good Luck,
Katie
Will it hold carbonation?
Hi James,
Scholle’s traditional bag-in-box does not hold carbonation. Check out KeyKeg if you are looking for a bag-in-box type package that holds carbonation.

How do you pour the wine? My box only contains a plastic bag full of wine – no apparent flex pourer. What do I do?
Hi Rance,
I am not familiar with that type of packaging. What brand/lable of wine did you purchase?
Thanks,
Katie
do box wines have more sulfites the bottle wine? Or higher sodium content?
In response to Comment #11, Michael Edwards, go to Amazon.com and search for Bag O’ Wine Insulated Carrier in the Home and Kitchen department. This is a great idea because you carry the bag,not the box. It’s insulated so chilled wines stay cold. Check it out.
