Cask wine is wine in a bag-in-box, usually 2 or 3 litres. The bag collapses as you pour, so the wine stays fresh for weeks after opening, which makes it handy for gatherings, cooking and everyday drinking.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does cask wine last once opened?
Cask wine usually lasts four to six weeks once opened. The inner bag shrinks as you pour, so little air reaches the wine. Keep the box somewhere cool and out of sunlight, and store whites and medium whites in the fridge to keep it tasting fresh.
Is cask wine good quality?
Cask wine is made for simple everyday drinking rather than ageing, and it is perfectly sound wine. The bag-in-box keeps it fresh longer than an opened bottle. Many people keep one for cooking or for a glass now and then without opening a full bottle.
How many glasses are in a 3 litre cask?
A 3 litre cask holds the same as four standard 750ml bottles, which is roughly 20 glasses at a 150ml pour. A 2 litre cask holds about 13 glasses. Check the label for the standard drinks count, as it varies with alcohol content.
Can you cook with cask wine?
Yes, cask wine works well for cooking because you can pour just what a recipe needs and keep the rest fresh for weeks. Dry white suits risotto, sauces and seafood, while a dry red suits stews, bolognese and slow-cooked beef.
