Really Good Boxed Wine is designed to make you think differently about what can go in a box. We scour the globe to find the best winemakers and vineyards in the world, and partner with them to make amazing wine. Then, instead of putting it in a bottle, we put four bottles worth in a box, give you about a 70% discount on what the same wine would cost in bottles, and ship it right to your door. Boxes let us sell premium wine at a reasonable price because we cut out the stuff that makes wine expensive. No heavy bottles, no costly corks. And as a gigantic bonus, our boxed wines have only about 50% the carbon footprint as bottled wines. The technology in your box keeps oxygen out much better than bottles and corks, which means your Really Good Boxed Wine stays fresh for up to six weeks after opening.
