Albeit very late to the party, it's good to finally see wine companies reducing their bottle weights. It's been a long time coming, especially in the USA, South America and parts of Europe. A heavy bottle does not improve wine quality and frankly heavy bottles are a problem on multiple fronts, including health and safety and consumers hesitation to purchase. It's a welcomed move by Catena Zapata and Dr. Laura Catena with the hope more wineries will follow. However Forbes you should also be applauding those wineries who have been progressive on the lightweight bottle front and led the way. Most New Zealand and Australian wine companies have been using a 415-407g bottle for more than a decade now. 2024 also sees AU/NZ rolling into the 380g. #sustainability #winebusiness #carbonreduction #nzwine #australianwine

An impressive trial to see how #wine drinkers took to #packaging alternatives to glass. From 1,300 responses from its members, The Wine Society (The International Exhibition Co-operative Wine Society Limited) found - 72% were satisfied with the quality of the wine from the glass-free format and - more than 90% are “likely to repurchase”. - Willingness to try other glass-free formats stood at 86%. - BiB (bag in a box) sold out very quickly while the rPET supplies lasted through the three-month trial. There are now plans to launch wider, ongoing ranges in these formats in the spring, and then next year set a target for the percentage of wine sold in “alternative, lower carbon packaging” by 2032. Details on potential #carbon savings to come. https://lnkd.in/esBKea2d

They are "flat" and said to weigh only 63g while transit efficient and tough. "The compact design is set to allow 30% more bottles to be loaded onto pallets for transportation. Compared to traditional round bottles, the flat alternatives aim to take 30% of lorries off the road and lead to environmental benefits without reducing the amount of wine in a pack" Root Sustainable Labels are able to provide a multitude of environmental alternatives; from paper, PP, PET to recycled, sustainable and recyclable materials that can support your packaging decisions.

Dr. Laura Catena, a fourth-generation vintner at Catena Zapata, is leading the charge in sustainability efforts, as highlighted in this recent article. Her work inspired me to ponder a common dilemma: how to enjoy beautiful wine packaging while also caring for the environment. As we applaud her efforts to make bottles lighter and more eco-friendly, let's reflect on a question that resonates with consumers of all beverages: How can companies strike the right balance between sustainability and consumer appeal? Is there a way to make eco-friendly options just as attractive and luxurious as traditional packaging? And how can producers help consumers understand the environmental impact of their choices and encourage them to make greener decisions? #SustainablePackaging #ConsumerEducation #VinoArgentino

Interesting article on some of the challenges facing the wine business regarding its impact on climate change. With bottle weights accounting for up to 60% of a wine’s carbon footprint, it's important that wine producers move to lighter bottles and the wine trade and retailers educate consumers to follow them.

The wine industry is undergoing a transformative shift in bottling practices, driven by a blend of tradition, innovation, and the growing demand for sustainability. As winemakers strive to maintain the quality and authenticity of their products, they are also exploring eco-friendly bottling solutions to reduce their environmental impact. From lightweight glass bottles and alternative closures to the introduction of recyclable or biodegradable packaging, these innovations are reshaping how wine reaches consumers. More wineries are also adopting cutting-edge bottling technologies that optimize efficiency while minimizing waste and energy consumption. These trends not only benefit the planet but also appeal to a new generation of eco-conscious wine drinkers. As the conversation around sustainability continues to gain traction, wine brands that embrace these changes are positioning themselves for long-term success in a rapidly evolving market. Whether you're a winemaker or a supplier in the industry, now is the time to consider how sustainable bottling practices can enhance both your product and your brand reputation.

"By choosing wine on tap, guests contribute to a 96% reduction in CO2 footprint compared to bottled wine.?Additionally, each steel keg saves 2,340 pounds of trash in its 30 year lifetime." Free Flow is happy to have helped supply premium wines in reusable stainless steel kegs for the past fourteen years. Restaurants and Wineries are improving the quality of wine pours, increasing margins on wine, reducing liquid waste, and reducing carbon emissions with wine-on-tap from stainless steel kegs - a package that is reusable for decades. Reusable packaging is better for the environment and reduces reliance on new packaging supply chains. Kegs provide better taste and less waste. Wine is susceptible to oxygen, light and heat. Wine inside a keg, however, is kept cool, dark and safe from oxygen transfer. #Wineontap #sustainability #reusable #packaging #recycle #circulareconomy #environmental #sustainable #reuse #refill #freeflowwines #winequality #sixtyvines https://lnkd.in/gdvNxcPB
