Abstract: The invention includes a method and a supporting stand for handling liquid dispensers such as e.g. wine cardboard boxes with a drain tap. Packaging in the shape of cardboard boxes with drain tap is used in a still increasing extent for distributing and handling liquids including especially beverages such as juice, beer or wine. It is known that it is often problematic to handle these types of packaging, among other since the drain tap is placed at the bottom of the container, which is problematic, in that a glass or a mug must obviously be placed below the tap in order to fill it with liquid. This problem is relieved by using a supporting stand in which the container can be placed. When the container is placed in the stand it automatically becomes raised to a given height, which makes it easy to place a glass under the drain tap. The stand has also got the advantage that the container can freely be turned around whereby several people placed around a table can easily drain off liquid.
