Cask wine, also known as boxed wine, originated in Australia and was first introduced by winemaker Thomas Angove in 1965. Angove, based in Renmark, South Australia, patented a revolutionary idea: packaging wine in a plastic bladder inside a cardboard box. This design allowed the wine to be dispensed without air entering the container, helping preserve its freshness for weeks after opening.
Perfect for gatherings with friends or a cosy night in, it lets you savour every sip today and save some for tomorrow.
Since 1984, Winesmiths has been guided by our value ‘Sacrifice Nothing’ – creating a range of well crafted, highly awarded, affordable wines that don’t come at the sacrifice of quality. That’s why our wines are largely made from a single variety and a single vintage. And why we’ve chosen our packaging to hold our wine’s freshness and flavour for longer, even after it’s been opened for a while. It’s why we ensure our wine is fully vegan, and our practices are environmentally conscious. All so you can enjoy life’s little moments to the full. Because a life without sacrifice is a life well lived. This Classic Dry Red is soft, smooth, and classic. A carefully blended red that seamlessly captures the taste of sweet cherries, soft spices, and elegantly toasted oak.
