Why Wineries and Breweries Use IBC Totes
IBC totes are a practical alternative to smaller drums, barrels, and multiple containers. Their cube-shaped design helps maximize storage space while reducing the number of containers needed for bulk liquid handling.
Key Benefits for Wineries and Breweries
Large Capacity
IBC totes are available in high-volume options, making them ideal for facilities that handle liquids in bulk.
Efficient Storage
The stackable, space-saving design helps optimize warehouse, production, and storage areas.
Easy Handling
The integrated pallet base allows movement with forklifts and pallet jacks.
Controlled Dispensing
Built-in valves allow easier liquid discharge, helping reduce spills and improve workflow.
Durable Caged Design
A galvanized steel cage protects the inner bottle and supports daily industrial handling.
Reusable Options
Depending on the application, IBC totes can be reused, rebottled, or reconditioned, supporting cost efficiency and sustainability.
Food-Grade IBC Totes for Beverage Applications
For beverage producers, product purity is essential. Food-grade IBC totes are designed for applications where the container may come into direct contact with potable water, liquid food ingredients, or beverage-related materials.

Food-grade totes are recommended for wineries, breweries, and beverage facilities that need a clean and reliable solution for sensitive liquids.
Available Tote Options
Choose the right tote for your beverage production needs. Wenplastics offers new, rebottled, and reconditioned IBC totes for wineries, breweries, and other beverage producers.
New IBC Totes
A strong option for businesses that require a completely new tote, especially for sensitive or food-grade applications.
Rebottled IBC Totes
A practical choice when you need a new inner bottle with a reused outer cage. This option can help reduce cost while still providing a clean inner container.
Reconditioned IBC Totes
A cost-effective solution for non-food applications, including cleaning products, sanitation liquids, and general facility use.
Do You Need a UN-Rated IBC Tote?
Some beverage facilities also handle regulated chemicals or cleaning products. If the liquid is classified as hazardous or controlled for transport, a UN-rated IBC tote may be required.
UN-rated totes are tested for performance conditions such as stacking, leaking, vibration, hydrostatic pressure, and impact during transport.
If you are unsure whether your product requires a UN-rated tote, Wenplastics can help you choose the right option.

For products that may come into direct contact with the container, food-grade IBC totes are usually recommended to help protect product quality, cleanliness, and safety.
