International Box Wine Day
International Box Wine Day celebrates a fresh and fun way to enjoy wine without fuss or formality. Boxed wine has come a long way, earning a spot at everything from backyard barbecues to cozy nights in.
With no corks to pop or glass to shatter, it’s all about easy sipping. The clever tap keeps each glass as fresh as the first, even weeks later.
Whether you’re pouring for one or sharing with friends, box wine makes relaxing with a drink feel effortless.
This quirky celebration also brings attention to the smart, sustainable side of wine in a box. The lighter packaging means fewer emissions during transport and far less waste than glass bottles.
Cardboard containers are easier to recycle and take up less space. It’s a small change that makes a big difference for the planet. International Box Wine Day isn’t just about enjoying a drink—it’s about enjoying it smarter.

History of International Box Wine Day
International Box Wine Day began in February 2021, thanks to Wine Nook, a company that designs stylish dispensers for boxed wine . They wanted to spotlight the growing appeal of boxed wine and its eco-friendly packaging.
By creating this day, they encouraged people to appreciate the convenience and sustainability of wine in a box.
The idea of boxed wine started much earlier. In 1965, Australian winemaker Thomas Angove introduced the first “wine cask,” using a plastic bag inside a cardboard box.
This design made wine more affordable and easier to store. Later, in 1967, Charles Malpas improved the design by adding a plastic tap, making it even more user-friendly.
Over the years, boxed wine gained popularity for its practicality and lower cost. In the 1980s, it became common in households looking for value and convenience. By the 1990s, improvements in wine quality helped change perceptions, making boxed wine a respectable choice for many.
Today, International Box Wine Day celebrates this evolution. It reminds us that good wine doesn’t have to come in a bottle. With better packaging and quality, boxed wine offers a smart option for everyday enjoyment.
