Rigid containers for the storage of beverages, although being traditionally acceptable, constitute a relatively expensive way to store and transport beverages.[0003]In the last several years, portable beverages have been stored in flexible bags having a valve or tap to allow dispensing of the same. Such flexible bags have been placed in boxes formed of cardboard or polymeric materials. It has been found that packaging portable beverages in this manner is inexpensive compared to traditional rigid containers. Also, it has been realized, in the case of wine, that such wine is not oxidized by air when ...
