Wine pouches with tap

[GazzaW57]

Hi all, I’ve seen these advertised and wondered what people thought of them, and in particular are they any good and can they be used to replace bottles.

First time fill, is a hole the size of a DJ and then you pop the tap in.

Typically they are a bugger the full the second time. You cannot remove the tap, so you need to work out a cleaning / refilling regime that works while holding the tape open. And they will break.

So.. No there aren't a replacement for bottles but a nice to have for travelling /gifts

I didn’t think they were that good, but I just wanted to check.

I've been reusing wine bags for ages. Pop the tap out, wash out with water and then sanitiser.
I fill them using the usual bottle filling wand and replace the tap.
Then crack tap open and let last of air out of the bag.
I've used bought 5 litre bags and also recycled the wine bag in boxes.
The taps are a bit easier to remove if the connection region is warmed.

That’s interesting. Can I ask where you get yours from please?

That is interesting. My caps don't come out.

I use the strong foil bags you can get off Fleabay for my beer(beer engine). They can also be used for wine and come in different sizes with a screw cap so easy to clean and can be used several times as quite strong the only thing is you will need to design a cardboard box to hold them as mine are the 10ltr versions and are quite unweildy.

Some of my wine bags are reused from wine in a box.
Others I bought off eBay years ago.
I prize the caps off by levering from the tap side, only need to use my hands.

I've used these for years. If you only push the tap in one "click" they're easy to take out but still seal well.

I’m going to have to completely rethink whether I bottle or bag my wine.

 

[soupdragon]

I couldn't bottle my wine after using the bag in box things.
Bag in box for wine and cornies for beer, it's the future

The thread has got me thinking about bag in box, i hate bottling.

The only wine bottling I do is into old champagne bottles and use crown caps. But 90% of a batch goes into bags.

I have hit the button.
Useful for wine, but I am now thinking about beer in a bag and using this for dispense.

Nice double skinned bags come with the wine expert and on the house kits. Would need tap fitting into the cap, but doable.
