Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Astrapouch® pouches represent the latest advancements in flexible and eco-friendly packaging for wine packaging. Eliminating both the possibility of cork contamination and the threat of oxidation, the Astrapouch®’s revolutionary smart nozzle keeps beverages fresher for up to 1 month after opening. Plus, their innovative, durable design flawlessly preserves the integrity of the product.

    Replacing heavy glass bottles and bulky bag-in-box packaging, these lightweight pouches are durable, convenient and eco-friendly. While we may still put reserve wines in bottles, we’re proud to take advantage of these amazing containers!

  • WE ID EVERYBODY. 0 to 150, everybody. Rather than attempt to differentiate who looks over or under a certain age (at the risk of offending people who may be sensitive about their appearance) we have found it simpler and most polite to ask everyone for proper identification. Therefore, you MUST present a valid, current (not expired) form of ID prior to consuming our wines.
