Almaden Unveils Easier Box Wine Packaging

Canandaigua Wine Company's Almaden will hit the beverage market with some new easier handling packaging for wine drinkers. Almaden's breakthrough in wine deliver system came when the company introduced the Twist N Serve Spout, a spout that eliminates dripping and makes pouring easier for the consumer.

Starting this summer, Almaden Box Wines will provide additional wine caps including EX Open, Last Drop Tilt Tab, and EZ Carry. The EZ Open has a pre-cut corrugated opening, designed wider to allow easier access to the spout. The Last Drop Tilt Tab is a piece of corrugated cardboard on the bottom of the box which folds into a ramp, helping the wine flow as the product level decreases. The EZ Carry Handle is modified and angled to cushion the hand and provide better weight distribution of the box for maximum comfort.

Headquartered in Fairport, NY, Almaden is produced by Canandaigua Wine Co., Inc. The company markets more than 180 brands of imported beers, wines, spirits, cider and bottled water.
