Protect your wine
while it travels.

It's not going to matter what temperature your cellar is if somewhere along the shipping process your wine is cooked on the dock or overheated in a hot carrier truck. It's true: Many wines are ruined in transit when exposed to high and/or variable temperatures.

WINEASSURE CAN HELP!

WineAssure is temperature controlled packaging that ensures that wine arrives with the same quality and taste as you experienced at the winery. Made from 100% eco-friendly, recyclable and degradable materials, WineAssure provides a strong insulating barrier that shields wine from rapid temperature fluctuations and protects wine for 5-10 days.

WITH WINEASSURE, YOU CAN:

Buy wine year-round, with all the rich flavors and aromas the wine had when it left the winery. Regardless of the temperature outside, WineAssure cooling system protects wine for 5-10, even during hot summer months. Compare that to dry ice or gel packs that work two days at most.
Save and ship economy instead of priority. With WineAssure's temperature protection, you no longer need to ship wine for 2-day or next-day delivery to avoid prolonged contact with damaging weather conditions. Even though the WineAssure packaging adds weight and some extra packaging cost to the shipment, it is still more economical to ship wine via economy service with WineAssure than expediting it.
Return, reuse or recycle, WineAssure packaging is made from 100% recyclable and degradable materials. WineAssure can be returned at no cost. When frozen, WineAssure can be reused as a temperature controlled wine or food carrier for a picnic or travel. Or, recycle WineAssure by pouring the non-toxic solution inside the packs down the drain, recycling the plastic bags, and tossing the degradable insulation into the trash or compost.
Invest in more wine now knowing that your wine shipment will arrive cool and in good condition. WineAssure guarantees that wine does not exceed 70 degrees Fahrenheit or fall below refrigeration level (35 degrees Fahrenheit) over a 5-10 day period.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING SHIPPING:

CONSUMER FEEDBACK

"Way to go, excellent idea. I really liked the fact that I was recycling the package, and that the wine would be kept cool. This will be very important during the summer months, especially since I live in Houston, TX. I have already made the recommendation to a couple of other wineries that I buy from."

"In TX (especially in the summer), this is an excellent way to make sure wine does not overheat."

"Very different and efficient."

"Keep it up. Totally excellent idea for shipment to the hot state, Texas. Great idea. I think I'll order more wine. Thanks"

HOW TEMPERATURE AFFECTS WINE:

Speed up the aging process and result in maturation of a wine over a very short time.
Produce off-flavors, resulting from oxidation and other undesirable reactions whose rates have been dramatically increased by the higher temperature.
Cause discoloration and pre-mature browning, an indicator of oxidation due to heating.
Trigger expansion and can possibly cause leakage of the wine past the cork.
Expand the volume of the wine as temperatures rise and swing, decreasing and increasing the ullage volume, which increases the oxygen transmission by mass transfer of gas and may cause ingress of harmful quantities of oxygen.
