General Serving Tips
- Storage: Keep boxed wine in a cool, dark place. Once opened, BiB wines stay fresh for up to six weeks [1].
- Temperature: Serve whites and rosé chilled at 45-50°F [2, 3]; serve reds slightly chilled at 50-65°F [4, 5].
- Dispensing: Use the built-in tap to pour wine; the vacuum-sealed bag collapses as you pour, preventing oxidation and waste [6].

Food Pairings:
Pair with fresh oysters, goat-cheese salad, sushi, or light pasta with lemon and herbs. Its floral and honeyed notes also complement roasted chicken and spring vegetables.

Fleurs de Méditerranée (Rosé)
Food Pairings:
Excellent with grilled shrimp, Niçoise salad, tapas, fresh berries, or fruity desserts. Its strawberry and raspberry notes complement citrusy salads or charcuterie.

Plan de Dieu (Grenache, Syrah & Mourvèdre)

Pairs beautifully with grilled steak, BBQ ribs, ratatouille, lamb stew, or dark chocolate desserts. The bold red-fruit flavors and hints of fig make it a natural companion for rich, savoury dishes [7].
Lifestyle Moments:
Serve at lively dinner parties or long conversations around the table [5]. It also matches cold nights around the fire.
Bourgogne Aligoté (Aligoté)
Food Pairings:
Pair with oysters, grilled white fish, goat-cheese salads, or fried tempura [8]. Its zippy acidity also stands up to spicy Asian dishes or a simple plate of briny olives.

Hosting a Sustainable Dinner Party
To showcase the sustainability of boxed wine, incorporate eco-friendly touches: use reusable dishes and cloth napkins, select locally grown produce, and share the story of how BiB wine reduces carbon emissions by 84% [10]. Offer guests a tasting flight of all five cuvées and provide pairing bites for each.
