Wine Bladder

Bag in box has quietly become the sensible way to handle everyday wine at home. The bladder collapses as you pour, so the wine is not left sitting against a pocket of air the way it is in a part empty bottle, and taking a glass does not commit you to finishing anything. For people making wine in decent volume it also saves the whole bottling exercise, which anyone who has spent a Saturday washing bottles will appreciate.

What we stock here is the bladder itself and the bits that go around it. The clear packaging bladder with a valve is the plain option, ready to fill and drop into a carton. The standing pouch with the fruit design is the one to pick if the wine is going out as a gift or onto a stall table, since it stands up on its own and looks the part without a box around it. The wooden support stand is a display piece for bag in box, tilting the bladder so the last of the wine still pours cleanly.

Something we always mention. Fill slowly and work the air out before you close the tap. Air trapped in the bladder is the one thing that undoes the advantage of using one.

Both stores, Laverton North and Epping, can show you how they go together. See also bag in box cartons, bottles and closures and wine making.
