Anytime you are shipping a fragile item, you want the best possible storage device to protect the item during its journey. Of course, there is also the cost, so you don’t want something that is not only going to be expensive to purchase but also expensive to ship. Using small shipping boxes for wine makes perfect sense for both of these issues.
The first reality is that small shipping boxes weigh much less than any other form of protection for your wine shipments. Styrofoam would be the next closest, but they have to be custom sized and are often much larger in size. Also, most Styrofoam shells have to be packed in a box before they can be shipped out. That being the case, they are a complete waste of money.
Storage is something else to consider as using just about any other method will require you to buy the shipping boxes as you need them; that is unless you have storage space to hold all of your shipping containers. Boxes usually come broken down and flat and take up far less space than any other form of shipping container. They are easily assembled and this enables you to keep more on hand without the worry of every running out of shipping containers.
As far as the protection goes, you need only look at what wine distributors ship their wines in. Such giants of the industry like Wine.com use corrugated boxes with inserts for all of their shipping needs. The box has dividers to keep each bottle separate along with an outer corrugated shell for each bottle. Last time I checked, there were very few complaints about bottles being broken during shipping.
When you are shipping something like wine, it is important to do so safely and in a cost effective manner. When looking at all aspects of shipping wine, there is nothing that can offer the protection or the value that corrugated shipping boxes can provide.
