We often hear the word tradition when discussing time-honored techniques in winemaking and viticulture, especially when it comes to so-called cult wines. Along those lines, wooden chests have played an indispensable role in storing and transporting wine dating back to when wine was first bottled in glass.
While the tide of change ushered in cardboard as the go-to material for most wineries, a select few continue to embrace the artistry of the past.
Due to their scarcity, wooden chests can stand out as a centerpiece in your cellar, housing some of your best cult wines. They also make a grand impression when shipped as a gift.
To cap off this offer, now through the end of the year, we’re including Ground Shipping* on our entire collection of wines that come in wooden chests.
We’ll do our best to deliver the wine inside the original wooden chest; however, some wines must be shipped separately from the wooden box for wine safety and security.
Below, I’ve included a partial list of featured wines in wooden chests. Click here to view our entire OWC (Original Wooden Chest) wine collection (except for BOND wines – not available on our website. If interested in the BOND wines, contact me directly).
