The Mud House Mini Box has been announced by Accolade Wines as a new boxed wine expression perfect for providing consumers with a way to keep premium vino on hand in an eco-friendly way. The packaging is being used by the brand for its New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc wine and features a 1.5-liter capacity that's rated as having a 26% reduction in size versus the previous version. The box wine will maintain its freshness for up to six-weeks after being opened to help consumers savor it without having to feel rushed to finish.
Head of Portfolio, Innovation and Sustainability - Europe at Accolade Wines Lucy Ramsay spoke on the Mud House Mini Box saying, "With the launch of our Mud House Mini Box, we hope to redefine the wine aisle by offering a solution that aligns with the evolving demands of consumers and helps mitigate impact on the environment. Prior to launching, we conducted extensive consumer research which involved in-home trials, accompanied shopping trips and focus groups, and we found that consumers are increasingly more open to alternative formats – with the Mini Box emerging as the most relevant."
