Boxed wine can be bougie with Allison Luvera and Lauren De Niro Pipher from Juliet

Exciting news this week! Dominic-Madori Davis is joining Becca Szkutak as Found?s newest co-host. Say hi to her in a review or tweet us @found.

In this week?s episode, we are talking with the co-founders who are  reimagining boxed wine. Boxed wine hasn?t typically been thought of as aesthetically pleasing or particularly delicious, but Juliet co-founders Allison Luvera and Lauren De Niro Pipher, are on a mission to change that. According to the co-founders, glass bottles serve nothing but tradition and are a sustainability nightmare. So they dove into rebranding boxed wine with their elevated design and carefully selected profiles.
