The best wine to travel with

Just because you’re traveling doesn’t mean you have to go without your favourite wines.
Whether your going to the beach, or camping for a weekend, it important not to leave without the wine, right?

Camping, beach excursions and other outdoor adventures usually mean you have to go without wine, but only because most outdoor destinations don’t allow glass for safety reasons. Thanks to the wide (and growing) variety of box wine, you can abide by the no-glass rules and still enjoy your a glass of wine.

Over the past couple of years the quality of box wine have improved quite a bit, possibly due to the annual Box Wine Awards. Drostdy-Hof’s Sauvignon Blanc became one of the first wines to receive recognition at this prestigious event in 2010 when it was awarded as the Best White Box Wine in South Africa. It seems as if quality is king at Drostdy-Hof, as the following year its Merlot was crowned Best Red Wine.

There’s many reasons to embrace box wines when traveling. For starters, the three liter 2012 Drostdy Hof Sauvignon Blanc box wine costs R78 for 3 liters. This is an equivalent of 4 bottles of wine! You don’t have to stress that it’s going to break in the car and it saves some space.

Secondly, it’s easy to open and pour and there’s no reason to drink it all in one go. It’s packaged to ensure you can return to this tasty and award-winning wine at your leisure for up to 6 weeks, once opened.

Flying to your holiday destination? No problem! This 3-liter filled box weighs 30% less than the four 750ml bottles combined.

Kind to the earth , easy to transport, award-winning, and easy on the pocket. Sounds like the perfect travel companion to me!
