The Packaging

It's not going to win an award for sexy terminology, but this is the technical name for boxed wine packaging. Sometimes you might see this shortened to BIB.

Absolutely. The wine in your Laylo box could just as easily have been bottled in glass. However, due to the lifestyle and environmental benefits, we've boxed it instead.

Our boxes are 2.25 litres, which is the equivalent of 3 standard sized bottles of wine.

Boxed wine is intended to be enjoyed within a couple of months of purchase. So if you're looking for a wine that you can enjoy over the coming months or have some dinner parties already planned, it's a great option! Over a prolonged period (up to 12 months) the wine will lose is freshness, so it's not intended to lay down in a cellar to age.

Once open, the wine in your Laylo box will stay fresh for up to 6 weeks. This means you can enjoy the odd glass in the evening without having to worry about finishing a bottle or, worse still, pouring wine away!

The bags used in boxed wine used to be lined with aluminium, meaning they were susceptible to small cracks, which caused the wine to oxidise quickly. As a result, winemakers were reluctant to put their precious nectar into box and there was a stigma surrounding the category.These days, the technology has significantly improved with the use of complex polymers such as EVOH. It's now viable to put premium wines into box without having concerns around quality.

Yes. This is one of the great things about boxed wine. An independent survey by Gaia consulting in 2018 (the most comprehensive of its kind!) estimated that the average carbon generated per litre of wine for glass bottles was 675g. For boxed wine the figure was 70g, which is a whopping 90% reduction in the carbon footprint of your wine.To put that in context, if your household enjoys a bottle of wine per week, by switching to Laylo you'd save 20kg of annually. That's enough energy to power a 42" TV non-stop for a month.

Yes. All the elements of your box are recyclable however this isn't as simple as we'd like it to be... yet! The outer cardboard box is fully recyclable throughout the UK. No funny business.Some (but not all) local authorities allow you to recycle the inner bag as part of your standard recycling scheme. If your local authority is not included you can recycle as part of the supermarkets' national bag recycling scheme or order a freepost recycling bag from our website to return it to us.
