A shipping container is the ultimate box wine! 24,000 liters of wine, and it's easier to move around!

There was a TV programme in the UK last year about a bottling plant in Bristol. It&#x27;s now a contract packer which packs many of the top 20 wine brands in the UK and seems to have capacity for 40 million cases a year.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thebusinessmagazine.co.uk&#x2F;companies&#x2F;bristol-based-the-park-becomes-europes-largest-wine-packaging-company&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thebusinessmagazine.co.uk&#x2F;companies&#x2F;bristol-based-th...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.thedrinksbusiness.com&#x2F;2020&#x2F;08&#x2F;exclusive-massive-drinks-packing-and-storage-solution-emerges-at-key-time-for-the-uk-wine-trade&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.thedrinksbusiness.com&#x2F;2020&#x2F;08&#x2F;exclusive-massive-...</a>

This gives me hope that it&#x27;s easier to ship wine now. Last time I tried to ship wine to my parents as a gift I literally couldn&#x27;t find a courier who would accept it.<p>To a degree, I don&#x27;t blame them... most people suck at packing, but there are products that are made for shipping wine bottles and they don&#x27;t accept those from consumers either (although wineries use the same couriers and containers to ship wine to me). Hopefully this has changed.

Wouldn&#x27;t storing wine in a giant plastic bag significantly affect the taste?

They speak of the environmental benefits at the start, then finish with an advert for their service to move wine by air — two whole cargo planes most recently.

Well, designing a blog in alignment with DHL&#x27;s corporate design that&#x27;s pleasant to ones eyes is certainly not the easiest task but boy, what happened with this header bar (in dark mode)?
