The global packaging specialist ALPLA has added a PET wine bottle to its product range. The 0.75-liter bottle weighs just 50 grams – around eight times less than the alternative made of glass. 

The first white wine bottles belonging to the Wegenstein winery recently went into circulation in the Austrian wine market. The sustainable solution reduces the carbon footprint by 38 percent compared to the glass alternative – and that's even without rPET content. The PET bottle is now also available in a 1-liter version. ALPLA plans to be manufacturing several million units a year from 2025 and is planning solutions made entirely of rPET.
