THE 24,000-LITER “WINE BOX”

In recent years, the quantity of wine that is bulk-shipped in giant tanks from its country of origin to markets where it is bottled and sold has increased significantly. 

Most of this wine is transported in giant “plastic bags” known as flexitanks.

A flexitank is a large polyethylene bag that transforms a regular 20ft shipping container into a liquid transportation system. 

Think of a giant “wine box” that fits on the back of an 18-wheel tractor trailer or a rail flatcar and can be used to move liquids securely and cost effectively.
