Goon bags just got upgraded! From the popular ‘bagnum’ to single-serve wine pouches, bagged wine is back and shaking up the way Australians enjoy their favourite drinks.

Perfect for everything from pool days to barbecues with friends, wine pouches and their larger-sized bagnums mean the end of heavy bottles, casks and cans and an easier way to enjoy wine indoors and out.

Wine pouches are available in a range of wine varieties, including sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, shiraz and rosé to name a few. But the best bit? They taste just as fab as bottled wine!

Wine pouch vs bagnum vs cask: what’s the difference?

In Australia, bagged wine is available in casks, single-serve wine pouches, 750ml pouches and ultra-large 1.5L bagnums (the bagged magnum!).

What makes wine pouches and bagnums so popular is that they aren’t packaged in a box like traditional ‘goon bags’ are. Designed with features like screw top lids, carry handles and pourers, they’re good-looking, easy to use and ultra-portable. Some even come in recyclable bags, so they’re a tick for the planet too.

With new brands popping up all over the place, it can be hard to know where to start when it comes to bagged wine, so read on for all of our favourites for the summer season and beyond!
