Beautifully packaged: are wines in wooden cases better?

As with all foods and beverages, the type of packaging plays an important role in wine. When a noble wooden wine box appears, most people inevitably think of a high-end wine, while bottles packed in a cardboard box make a slightly inferior impression. It is noteworthy that Bordeaux wines are usually presented in wooden boxes.

Other wine regions and countries have already discovered wooden boxes for themselves. Not only do they look stylish, they also offer better shipping protection than simple cardboard packaging. So nowadays there are so-called wooden box wines, for example from Spain, Australia, USA or Italy. But what exactly does the type of packaging say about the quality of the wine?

Wooden boxes suggest high quality

In fact, the world’s finest and rarest wines are often sold in wooden cases. However, the packaging of these wines has no effect on the quality of the wine. In fact, it has prevailed in some cases for decades and is now hard to shake off.

Wooden boxes are used relatively rarely for the best Swiss factories. While Castello Luigi in Ticino has been working with him for a long time, almost all other Swiss wine pearls are packed in boxes. Although standard wine boxes offer slightly less shipping protection than wooden boxes, they have a better ecological footprint, especially thanks to their lower weight.

Therefore, packaging alone is not an automatic indicator of a wine’s quality. In any case, it is always recommended to taste the wine before you buy it or learn the quality of the wine from reviews or recommendations. When it comes to pure packaging appearance, noble-looking wooden crates are often one step ahead.
