Black Box Wines

Black Box Wines introduced premium wine in a box format in 2003, challenging the notion that quality wine must come in a bottle.

An early mover in U.S. varietal wines packaged in 3 liter boxes, Black Box became a major brand in the segment and has received industry recognition.

Launched as an independent brand and later acquired by Constellation Brands, Black Box has been owned by E. & J. Gallo Winery since 2021. E. & J. Gallo Winery is headquartered in Modesto, California.

What is Black Box Wines?


Black Box Wines is a brand that offers wines in convenient bag in box packaging designed for easy pouring and consistent quality. Each package holds the equivalent of four standard bottles in an air tight, oxygen barrier collapsible bag with a one way tap that limits air ingress during pouring; the opaque bag and outer box help shield the wine from light. The portfolio spans familiar varietals including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay, alongside a California Sweet Red Blend and a Moscato from California.

Rather than owning vineyards, the brand partners with established producers in key regions and selects grapes suited to each style, aiming for dependable flavor profiles from release to release. The format requires no corkscrew and works well at home or outdoors, making it simple to serve a glass when you want it.
