Out of the various available sizes, the most commonly available size is 1 liter Tetra Packs.

There are five types of boxed wine: the Bota Box which is a leader in “green”, the stylish square shaped Wine Cube, the French Rabbit, the Hardys, and the Three Thieves Bandit (California).

Unlike opened bottle wines that last for 1 to 2 days only, these wines have longevity of freshness lasting for about a month.

These wines are placed with vacuum sealed plastic lining bag within the box. In this it helps in carrying the wine safely instead of carrying it in the bottle because it will not break even if it is dropped.
