Berry. Box from Wineberry

Château du Chatelard Château Moulin de la Roquille Chateau Les Manies Domaine le Garrigon Château Real Martin Last update 29 October 2020

The Vision Re-think the packaging of fine wines by eliminating the glass, improving its value, reducing its Carbon footprint while keeping a high profile appearance.

Why not the glass? Expensive: due to the high cost of the product and freight because of its weight. Very high Carbon footprint: also due to its weight, its production process and poor space profitability. Corkage: most bottles are still using natural cork, with an average of 3% of corked bottles. Breakability.

Current Alternatives Tetra-Brick: was recently re-launched (Three Thieves Bandit, French Rabbit…). Inconsistent success within the brands. The image remains cheap, poor packaging and low quality product. For off premise trade. Cubitainer: Almost non-existent on the market, extremely poor image, low oxidation. Bidon: No comment…

Current Alternatives Bag in Box: Very limited distribution in the US market and non-existent in the on premise segment. After over 20 years of existence, it has proved to be one of the best conservation process with the lowest oxidation. In France, it has taken a good market share vs. the bottles over the last 5 years. The few examples we can find in the US have been made to target the off premise trade. Exceptionally, this technology is used with a recipient “adapted” to the on premise trade. They all are highly unfunctional, with poor design.

Wineberry The only alternative, with a high profile image bringing together Fine Wines, Value, and Ecology.

The Wines Pursuing our current mission, we are using mostly Domaine wines, always very respectful to their terroir. The selection is adapted to the “by the glass” and upper “by the glass” program. Our introductory selection: -Chateau Moulin de La Roquille, Bordeaux Cote de Francs 2007 -Chateau Les Maines, Bordeaux Blanc 2009 -Chateau Les Maines, Bordeaux Rose 2009 -Chateau Chatelard, Morgon 2009 -Chateau Chatelard, Bourgogne Blanc 2009 -Domaine Du Garrigon, Cote du Rhone 2010 (Biodynamic) Each wine will carry Wineberry Guaranty of Excellence and authenticity

The Box Made out of Pine trees coming from certified sustainable forest, supporting responsible use of forest-resources. Sliding door at the bottom to easily install the faucet. Strong natural handle. Possibility for multiple re-use (saw as bird house).

The bags Wine has been packaged using bag-in-box technology for many years and this type of wine packaging is proven to have distinct advantages. Unlike bottles, the consumer can keep the wine after opening for up to six weeks and drink it by the glass; economically and conveniently. Logistical advantages: a 3 liter wine pack is 38% lighter than glass and utilizes 98% of a pallet storage space (40% better than glass). We use the 3 layers best quality bags on the market.

Unique selling points Quality Green Cost

Quality Wineberry will not compromise the quality of the wines but will keep providing outstanding quality boutique wines true to their origin, identity and terroir. We eliminate all corkage issue, and the oxidation problem, too frequent with the traditional bottle.

Green Never the market has given so much importance to the ecological aspect of all consumed products. This trend wills only intensified with the time. Never an imported glass of wine will have such a small Carbon footprint: - 91% less packaging materials. * - 79% less Greenhouse Gas emissions. * *As compared to an equal volume of wine packaged in traditional glass bottles Source: http: //www. aboutboxedwine. com/boxed-wine-is-good/for-the-environment/

Cost The Berry Box is offering the BEST value possible on the market. For all restaurants, profitability is essential for the wines by the glass market. Especially considering the current economy; “value” is key. By eliminating the expense of glass bottles, labels, caps, corks and reducing the freight price, the cost of business is at a all time low. By having 3 recipients instead of 12, we also reduce the amount of waste by 4. Average saving of 25% for the same wine!!!

Key advantages for On premise QUALITY - Keeps wine fresh for weeks after opening: Estimates of waste of 2% or more generated by leftover wine oxidizing – added to estimates of 3% to 5% loss due to cork taint – are revenue losses that can be avoided with fine wine casks. COST - Less packaging for more wine equals savings: The Berry Box can often provide roughly 20% savings compared to the same quality wine from a 750 ml bottle. That is 20% yours to pocket or reward your customers with! SPACE SAVING - Space-saving shape and size: The equivalent of four 750 -m. L bottles in roughly 60% of the same space. Storage is freed up for other necessities and more supplies. LESS LOSS - Less loss from breakage: No glass and no corks means less breakage and no cork taint or spoilage due to poorly sealed bottles. CONVENIENCE - Ease and convenience: The Berry Box is easy to open, reducing staff frustration, and never need to be sealed or gassed to preserve quality.
