A “Bib,” or Bag-in-Box, is a convenient packaging format consisting of a flexible, airtight food-grade bag (BPA-free) placed inside a cardboard box. It’s a modern and eco-friendly solution for keeping wine fresh longer after opening (up to 6 weeks), while making serving easier.

Before opening, a Bib can be stored for 9 to 12 months, protected from heat and light.
The Bib is meant to be enjoyed within a few months of purchase – perfect for dinners or casual gatherings! It is not intended for long-term cellar aging.

• More eco-friendly: No glass, less waste, optimized transport
• More economical: Excellent value for money
• More practical: Keeps for up to 6 weeks after opening, easy to serve, ideal for aperitifs, dinners, or events

No. The container doesn’t determine quality. A good wine remains a good wine, whether in a bottle or a Bib. The airtight bag in the Bib does not affect the taste and even allows better preservation after opening.

The “cubi” can be seen as the predecessor of the Bib, and it used to contain average or even poor-quality wines. The bags were lined with aluminum, which could develop small cracks, causing rapid oxidation that made the wine undrinkable. Winemakers therefore avoided putting their best wines in a “cubi,” leading to a certain stigma.

Today, technology has greatly advanced with new complex polymer materials. It is now possible to put high-end wines in a Bib and preserve their quality – exactly what Alenti does!

Thanks to the Bib’s vacuum system, wine can stay fresh for up to 6 weeks after opening without any change in taste or oxidation.

The airtight bag and tap prevent oxygen exposure, protecting the wine inside. Oxygen is what causes wine to lose freshness and aromatic quality – which is why a regular opened bottle often ends up in the sink after just 48 hours…
