Whilst Covid’s repeated restrictions and lockdowns have been a nightmare for pubs and restaurants, wine consumption amongst UK consumers has been strong over the past year. Why? Lots more of us have been drinking more at home – and who can blame us? Expensive luxuries like holidays have been far out of reach, so many of us have switched our spend to affordable treats instead.
This has meant that 2020 really was the year in which wine e-commerce came of age, with more consumers buying wine supplies from supermarket websites, and 1 in 7 wine drinkers choosing to use a specialist online wine shop. And, according to drinks industry experts, the habit of drinking more wine is here to stay – which is good news for those selling it online.
But of course shipping wine is not without its challenges – and too many customers are still taking to the Internet to voice their exasperation over online orders being damaged in transit; in some cases arriving smashed to bits. Since we’re all now used to long days WFM being punctuated by all-too-welcome deliveries, it’s hardly surprising that people get pretty mad when they were looking forward to taking delivery of a special bottle or two and find a soggy bundle of cardboard on their doorstep instead.
It’s fair to say that the team at Hazel 4D enjoy the odd drink as much as anyone, which is why we’ve been turning our hands to putting together a range of packaging that’s every bit as fine as the wine it’s designed to transport.
We’ve poured over 40 years of experience in unbeatable transit packaging solutions into developing a range of wine packaging that you can trust to protect wine during every step of its journey. All our products are strong, sustainable and do a first rate job of minimising packaging time, costs and waste.
