Question: What is the latest news on possible increased use of a lighter weight wine bottle for sustainable purposes?
Answer: A most topical question you have raised as much attention continues to be given to this matter presently. Perhaps wineries are not the worst contributors to carbon/CO2 emissions in the total overall world picture but nonetheless helping the sustainable campaign plus making an important policy support statement should be made by the wine industry. Glass production at high temperatures does result in CO2 emissions and heavier glass causes even more. Also the transportation of wine in those glass bottles is becoming an ever bigger issue which is increased further by heavier weight. Lots is happening. See the Sustainable Wine Roundtable Report here. The latest news is the strong leadership position taken by high-profile Laura Catena as reported in The Drinks Business here.
