Bag-in-Box wines show poor quality according to study: only 5% is OK

The Swedish monopoly retailer has conducted a study on how the quality evolves over time for wines in bag-in-box. Only 5% of the wines tested were judge to be of sufficient quality. The tests were done by checking how the quality changed in unopened BiBs bought in the monopoly stores. Barbro Ström, purchasing manager, said “One possible cause […] can be the packaging”. The Systembolaget will now try and make the producers mark the BiBs with a “best-before” date. As reported in World of Wine Fax News.
