New Bota Box “Brightside” Combines Fan-Favorite Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio in One Bright, Crisp Blend in Bota’s Signature Alternative Packaging
January 15, 2026 (Napa, CA) — Bota Box, America’s favorite premium boxed wine brand1, announced today the launch of Bota Box “Brightside”, a refreshing blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio. The new white wine is the first addition to Bota Box’s award-winning core portfolio in more than a decade and will be available at retail locations nationwide starting this month in two formats: Bota Box’s signature lightweight, shatterproof 3-liter boxes and 500-milliliter Tetra Pak “Minis”.
“Wine drinkers are increasingly choosing light and bright white blends, whose sales are up 14 percent in the last year,” notes Andrew Blok, portfolio marketing director at Delicato Family Wines, which introduced Bota Box in 2003. “Bota Box’s award-winning Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio are already popular with premium wine drinkers, so creating a blend of these varietals that highlights the best attributes of each was a natural move,” Blok continued.
Bota Box’s 3-liter bag-in-box format is portable, convenient and environmentally friendly, with a lower carbon footprint than glass bottles. As white blends surge in popularity nationwide, Bota Box “Brightside” delivers a lighter, brighter wine style that aligns with American wine drinkers’ growing preference for refreshing, easy-drinking wines.
Bota Box Brightside Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio can be found at major retailers nationwide including Kroger, Publix, Total Wine & More, HEB, Meijer, and more starting this month. The 3-liter box is equivalent to four bottles of wine and is priced at a suggested retail price of $24, while the 500-milliliter Bota Mini is priced at $6.
