This article aims at drawing an objective report on qualities and drawbacks of Bag-In- Boxes (BIB) used for the storage of wine (cask wine). Two experiments were carried out. The first one compared the influences on wines stored in opened BIBs, closed BIBs and in glass bottles with cork closures. The second experiment evaluated the influence of storage temperature on wines in BIB. Included in this article are technical advises pointing out the specific characteristics of BIB packaging material, still fairly unknown to many consumers and Swiss winemakers. The BIB packaging material proved to be useful for wines to be consumed rapidly. It is lighter and cheaper than glass bottles. CO2 output for production and transportation is clearly lower. However, its permeability for gases supplies the wine less protection against oxidation, and generates aroma and CO2 losses. Using BIB packaging method needs skills and technical understanding for proper and satisfactorily use.
