Talking About Green

No Whining Please — Consumers can anticipate major changes in wine packaging during the next five to ten years, as producers replace corks with screw caps, and shift to lightweight ‘bag in box’ packaging and even plastic bottles. Boxed wine is often shunned by some wine snobs, but it boasts less than half the carbon footprint of bottled wine since heavier glass requires more fuel for shipping.

Wine drinkers can truly think outside the box with a new organic wine, Yellow+Blue (get it?). It comes in a light-weight TetraPak container, traditionally associated with juice boxes, to reduce its shipping weight.

Boisset Family Estates recently announced that all of its Beaujolais Nouveau exported to North America will be in lightweight PET plastic bottles. The annual release of this wine is always on the third Thursday of November—just in time for Thanksgiving.
