2 Boxes= 4 Bottles! One-time or Auto-Delivery
Product Description:
Be the first on your block to be in the know about boxed wine! One of the highlights is the special packaging, which is designed to prevent air from coming in as you pour. That means it lasts much longer than wine in a bottle- up to six weeks once opened! Less packaging means even more. Their compact square shape makes them easy to carry and store, and also brings their cost way down. The money we save in transporting heavy glass and bulky packaging goes straight to you.
Why Decant likes it: Yep, wine in the box is back…it’s the newest wine fad. We are not suggesting that it’s the best wine to serve but wine in a box does have some pros. For one, wine is a box is a great way to conserve wine if you are only having one or two glasses. It lasts longer in a box compared to traditional bottles. Box wine is also great for parties, as the title says, block party. It’s much easier to transport wine in a box then bottles. So for block parties, pool parties, bbq’s, outdoor concerts, camping, sneaking into a movie…this might be ideal.
