What is this called in English?
I've seen "strapped" in the ProZ glossary but was told that this is NOT used for wine...

I saw a wine auction where a case of wine was touted as being "banded." What does that mean? Is it important?

Dear Bob,
Some wines are sold in wood cases secured by a strap or band around the box. If a wine lot at auction is listed as “banded,” that indicates the box hasn’t been opened. In the auction world, that can certainly add to a wine’s value.

Tony M
: Yes, even though it is called 'strapping ' and we use 'strapped' a lot, I do believe 'banded' is correct in this context.

The word "cerclée" is redundant.
The straps stop bottles banging against each other during shipping, preventing breakage.
