MeadWestvaco Develops Wine Multipack

The migration from glass bottles to single serve tetra packs and other boxed wine was initiated several years ago when wine manufacturers began seeking a more affordable packaging alternative that would help alleviate spoilage and breakage, as well as provide for easy transport and consumption. Many vintners turned to the flexible, shatter-proof packaging from Tetra Pak and its sterile filling and sealing process that preserves the integrity of any wine at a fraction of the cost of glass. Since then, boxed wines have grown increasingly popular, and value-added packaging such as MeadWestvaco’s multiple-packaging solutions and aseptic packages from Tetra Pak, are helping wine producers differentiate themselves on store shelves.
