Wine is a delicate liquid that requires a certain level of care during shipping. LiquA has years of combined experience working with wine producers and shippers. Our flexitanks provide enhanced protection that prevents oxidation and enables stable transportation that will keep your wine stable throughout transit.
We have developed the highest capacity flexitank for the wine market. We ship 26,000 litres / 26 tons of wine in 20’ containers. This constitutes a high volume especially from Chile, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa to Europe.
We can help you ship all types of wine, including, white wine, red wine, rose and more.

WINE
E-Flex Wine is LiquA’s innovative wine flexitank with a unique design and unmatched superior features that adds value to the wine industry by delivering a higher quality wine compared to any other bulk shipment alternative.
E-Flex Wine has some distinctive features that no other flexitank has.
Higher capacity: E-Flex Wine can load up to 26,000 litres. That is an 8.3% savings on overall freight cost compared to any other flexitank.
Higher wine quality at destination: E-Flex Wine has positive pressure which allows zero oxygen permeability. Also E-Flex Wine provides a more stable journey for wine with its patented Nnautilius Technology. So a shipment with E-Flex Wine reaches destination with better wine quality compared to a shipment made with another flexitank.
Safety: Thanks to patented Nnautilius Technology E-Flex Wine is a self standing flexitank. It does not exert any pressure to the walls of the container, thus preventing any sidewall bulging or damage to container. Even a freefall of the container will not result in E-Flex Wine damaging a container.
Conventional flexitanks preserve the liquid inside but can not stop its movement. The movement causes the liquid to generate hydrodynamic forces, which puts stress on the container side walls and doors. Nnautilus technology is an innovative approach that’s designed to minimize that movement. Thus it helps reduce the formation of hydrodynamic forces, keeping the cargo safe and stable during transportation.
Due to its unique patented design, the inner positive pressure of E-Flex Wine is always greater than the pressure on the surface of E-Flex. That ensures that no oxygen can get in.
Yes. It can be explained by Fick’s law of diffusion: “If the pressure of the liquid is greater on one side than the other side of a membrane, liquid will flow from the higher pressure side to the lower pressure side until the pressure of both sides are in equilibrium.” 
Based on the above principal, due to higher than exterior positive inner pressure from the wine throughout the surface, oxygen molecules on the air CANNOT penetrate through the liquid film and CANNOT cause any bacterial activity on the wine at any point. You can see that illustrated above. This is the case, even if there is no special oxygen barrier such as EVOH or Aluminum.
A simpler example to that would be a balloon filled with water. If a pin hole is opened on the surface of a balloon, water will flow out but air will not be able to get in due to the higher inner pressure.
Conventional flexitanks get their strength from the container; the weight of the wine is mostly on the container. Such flexitanks exert pressure to the container sidewalls, which at times cause bulging. E-Flex Wine, is a self standing flexitank by design. Its patented design ensures that the weight of the wine is on itself rather than the container. Therefore the inner pressure is much higher compared to any other flexitank.
It is zero due to positive pressure feature.
Yes. E-Flex Wine has a special EVOH barrier developed for this specific flexitank. The OTR of that EVOH is < 0.4 cc/m²/24hours. It is used as an extra measure of caution.
