Packaging wines: shipping them safely

Wine Bottle Packaging Guide

This guide is dedicated to safe wine packaging and shipping. It is designed, in particular, for wine companies or wineries that have an e-commerce, wine shops that ship and wine retailers in general. But not only that, it is also for private individuals who need to give or send a bottle of wine as a gift, or for employers who want to give it directly to customers or employees for an important occasion.

Wine plays a very important role in our country’s tradition and economy; Italy has in fact been the world’s leading producer for years! According to Nomisma’s WineMonitor Observatory, online sales also increased in 2020, registering more than eight million wine buyers, up 10% on the previous year’s volume of purchases.

There are many occasions to ship or present a bottle of wine, but in each case packaging plays a key role!

Choose the box or packaging carefully depending on the use:

if the bottle is to be shipped: the box must first of all be able to protect the contents as well as possible, but it must also be easy for the end user to open. If possible, choose packaging made of recycled and/or easily recyclable materials
if the bottle is to be presented: packaging is important, take care of aesthetics! The first impression is not forgotten. An excellent bottle of wine looks even more valuable if it is presented in carefully designed packaging.

The ideal packaging for your wine

During transport, the package may be subjected to shocks, stresses, compressions, falls…it is therefore essential for us to remind you of the importance of choosing suitable, quality packaging and using it in the correct way. A glass bottle, such as a wine bottle, is extremely delicate and you must avoid in any way to have it arrive at its destination broken.

Any damage would cause disappointment and discontent on the part of those receiving your product. A broken bottle generates a request for a refund or the shipment of new product and consequently additional costs for your business.

Wine bottle packaging: taking good care of it
