The study from Wine Intelligence research<\/a> aimed to understand consumers’ reasons for buying wine in glass bottles, in an environment increasingly challenged by other packaging formats.\u00a0<\/span>Their results were clear. Glass wins on numerous aspects<\/span> compared to other materials, as it better protects the wine’s quality and taste, adds to the aesthetics and overall drinking experience, and is more sustainable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When we think of wine, we think of glass.<\/span>\u00a0Let us show you why.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

History of wine bottles<\/h2>\n

The history of wine bottles goes all the way back to 4000 B.C<\/a>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0However, we didn\u2019t start using glass for wine bottles until the 17<\/span><\/span>th<\/span><\/span>\u00a0century.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>In fact,\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>for a\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>while, people used<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>oak<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>wooden barrels<\/span><\/span>\u00a0to store\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>their wines<\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Still<\/span>, the wooden barrels\u00a0<\/span>had\u00a0<\/span>a problem that many packaging materials face<\/span><\/span>: <\/span><\/span><\/span>t<\/span><\/span><\/span>hey allow<\/span><\/span>ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>oxygen to come through\u00a0<\/span><\/span>the wood\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>come in<\/span><\/span>to<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0contact with<\/span>\u00a0the wine inside.\u00a0<\/span>While oxygen is used to let wine age, too much oxygen can lead to oxidation. This\u00a0<\/span>means the wine starts to break down and\u00a0<\/span>actually loses<\/span> its quality and taste.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>So, after a wine ha<\/span><\/span>d<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0aged<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span><\/span> it was clear that\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>another material<\/span>\u00a0was\u00a0<\/span>needed<\/span>\u00a0to keep the wine<\/span><\/span>\u00a0in<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>perfect con<\/span><\/span><\/span>ditions<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0while it was\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>stored for sale and consumption<\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The answer? Glass.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While glass manufacturing has been around for\u00a0<\/span>an exceptionally long<\/span>\u00a0time, the invention of the coal furnace\u00a0<\/span>around<\/span>\u00a01600\u00a0<\/span>finally\u00a0<\/span>made it possible to produce<\/span>\u00a0thicker glass<\/span>\u00a0and reduce the risk of breakage.\u00a0<\/span>Because of this, it was possible<\/span>\u00a0for<\/span>\u00a0wine to be<\/span>\u00a0transpor<\/span>ted<\/span><\/span>\u00a0around the world<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>in glass bottles<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>Although wine was still stored in barrels to be aged, the consumption of wine\u00a0<\/span>by\u00a0<\/span>individuals shifted to glass bottles.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

G<\/span>lass is engrained in our history and traditions.<\/span>\u00a0After hundreds of years, we automatically think of glass when we think of wine. But i<\/span>t also\u00a0<\/span>plays an important role in our lives and will continue to do so in our pursuit of a more sustainable future<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

A<\/span>re wine bottles sustainable?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Absolutely! Like any other glass container or jar,\u00a0<\/span>wine bottles are<\/span>\u00a0made from\u00a0only\u00a0three natural resources: sand, soda ash and limestone<\/span>, along with recycled glass<\/span>.\u00a0Obtaining\u00a0these natural materials\u00a0doesn’t release\u00a0any\u00a0toxic chemicals, nor does\u00a0it\u00a0harm our environment.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even the production of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>wine\u00a0<\/span>bottles has\u00a0<\/span>become<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>vastly\u00a0<\/span>more sustainable through advanced research and developments in the techniques used\u00a0to reduce the energy necessary for producing glass bottles.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s more<\/span>,\u00a0wine is often\u00a0imported in bulk, specifically with the goal\u00a0of reducing\u00a0transport emissions, saving over\u00a090<\/span>.<\/span>,<\/span>000 tonnes\u00a0of\u00a0CO2 per year. Of course, if you want to reduce your\u00a0personal\u00a0carbon footprint even further, simply choose a bottle from a local producer.\u00a0In fact, more than 50% of glass bottles are\u00a0<\/a><\/span>delivered to customers within a 300km distance<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0The choice is yours!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The glass industry is constantly looking for new ways to address consumers\u2019 wishes for more sustainable products.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are wine bottles recyclable?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Yes!\u00a0<\/span>Wine bottles are\u00a0<\/span>100%\u00a0<\/span>and endlessly\u00a0<\/span>recyclable. In fact, when you throw a wine bottle in the recycling bin, it only takes 30 days<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0for the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>bottle to go through the recycling process and end back up on your shelf<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0as a new bottle.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As glass containers are made of a single material, they are easily recyclable without losing any quality<\/span><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>This means that even recycled glass can be recycled again, and again in an endless cycle in which we constantly save C02 emissions, water and resources.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"wine-bottles-recyclability\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now that you<\/span>\u00a0know why<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0wine bottles are sustainable and recyclable, the question remains<\/span><\/span>: why<\/span> is glass the preferred choice for wine?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why Wine Lovers Love Glass<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

For\u00a0the best\u00a0wine experience,\u00a0the wine itself needs to be produced, stored and consumed properly.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are four criteria to which\u00a0the\u00a0packaging\u00a0should\u00a0comply\u00a0to ensure the best experience when consuming wine:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> The vessel needs to be strong enough to prevent breakage<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> The material must be sealed to prevent oxidation<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3.<\/strong>\u00a0The vessel should not be too heavy to reduce costs and emissions<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> The material should not interact with the wine itself<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So how does glass score on these four criteria?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Strength<\/span><\/h3>\n

Throughout history<\/span>, glass bottles have come in different <\/span><\/span>shapes, sizes<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>colours<\/span><\/span><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>In the past bottles weren\u2019t as\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>robust\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>as they are today<\/span><\/span><\/span>, b<\/span><\/span><\/span>ut<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0invention of the coal furnace enabled us to produce thicker glass<\/span><\/span>, and thereby stronger glass<\/span><\/span><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>This reduced the risk of breakage and allowed us to start storing and transporting\u00a0<\/span>wine in glass, instead of clay bottles or large wooden barrels.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>This\u00a0<\/span>opened up<\/span>\u00a0new markets for wine producers and merchants, in turn.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hermetic<\/span><\/h3>\n

Around<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the same time,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>people\u00a0<\/span>started using wooden barrels for wine storage<\/span>, <\/span>and<\/span>\u00a0corks for sealing<\/span>\u00a0them<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In combination with glass, the wine can be hermetically sealed. No oxygen can enter a glass bottle sealed with a cork, protecting<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>wine from oxidating<\/span>. Once sealed, <\/span>bottled wine can last up to a hundred years<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u2013 although can you really hold off for that long?<\/span><\/p>\n

Weight<\/span><\/h3>\n

Glass bottles have become considerably lighter in the past 15 years. Light-weighting developments have resulted in producing bottles that can be up to 30% lighter than before. By light-weighting, less material is used, and emissions across the supply chain can be reduced by 10-30%.<\/p>\n

W<\/span>ith the help of innovative technologies<\/span>,<\/span> manufacturers are now able to produce bottles that are thinner, lighter, and stronger than\u00a0<\/span>ever\u00a0<\/span><\/span>before. And these innovations and developments are not going to stop any time soon. Wine bottles will constantly improve to meet the growing demand for more sustainability by consumers.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Inertness<\/span><\/h3>\n

Lastly<\/span>, glass is also\u00a0<\/span>inert<\/span>, meaning that it doesn\u2019t interact with the wine itself. This is also one of the reasons glass wine bottles a<\/span>re sustainable and easily recyclable.\u00a0<\/span>Once<\/span>\u00a0the glass has been cleaned, it can be infinitely re<\/span>cycled<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>Neither \u2018new\u2019 glass or recycled glass\u00a0<\/span>affect<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0the quality of the wine, nor does it lose any of its own qualities when being recycled.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Glass is the only material that meets all four criteria.<\/span><\/span> It doesn’t alter the taste or quality of the wine and keeps the wine good for a long period of time, so you can open and enjoy it at the right time.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Design and Premium feel <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Aside from being a strong, inert, hermetic packaging, wine lovers also enjoy the premium experience that glass bottles provide through their design, elegant feel, and heritage.<\/p>\n

The unique design of glass bottles provides a feeling of luxury that other materials can\u2019t match. There is a special feeling when one begins to open a new bottle of wine. A feeling and aesthetic that simply cannot be imitated with any other packaging.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How do wine glass bottles compare to other packaging materials?<\/h2>\n

As our options increase, people have proposed the use of other packaging options, such as bag-in-box wine or paper wine bottles \u2013 which are made from the same materials, but shaped like a bottle. However, these options don’t protect the wine from oxygen, as cardboard itself is not an airtight material. Also, it is unclear how much these materials interact with the wine and alter its taste.<\/p>\n

Moreover, bag-in-box wine has a long way to go in improving its sustainability and recyclability. Bag-in-box and paper wine bottles, both suffer from the fact they incorporate materials (metal, aluminium, plastic) that are hard to separate in order to recycle the whole packaging properly. Glass, on the other hand, is easily recycled without any need for separation.<\/p>\n

Another option is wine packaged in cans. Yet, while cans are often considered to be a convenient packaging material, researchers found that some canned wines are affected by \u2018reductive\u2019 characters<\/a>, within three to six months of packaging, meaning the wine’s taste is affected and the shelf life is reduced when packaged in cans.<\/p>\n

That’s why the majority of wine drinkers in various countries across Europe<\/strong> (Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK) agree that glass bottles are a sustainable form of wine packaging<\/a><\/strong> compared to other material alternatives.<\/p>\n

To taste the wine as it was intended by the producers, glass has been proven to be the best choice throughout time. So how can you ensure that you are storing and serving it as it was intended?<\/p>\n

How to\u00a0<\/span>safely store<\/span>\u00a0wine bottles at home<\/span><\/h2>\n

To ensure the best wine experience for yourself and your guests, we advise you to have a good look at the following five golden rules for safely storing wine bottles at home.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Store your wine around 13 degrees Celsius<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The best temperature for wine storage is roughly 13 degrees Celsius, but this\u00a0can vary\u00a0depending on the wine. Wine should never be kept below \u20134 degrees Celsius or above 20 degrees Celsius.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Store <\/span><\/b>your\u00a0<\/span><\/b>wine horizontally, not vertically\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Storing wine on its side keeps the cork moist, which is important for long-term storage. A dried-out cork can\u00a0cause leakage\u00a0and premature aging. While keeping screw top wine bottles on their sides isn’t needed, horizontal storage is still\u00a0a\u00a0good idea for\u00a0maximizing space.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Store <\/span><\/b>your\u00a0<\/span><\/b>wine at<\/span><\/b>\u00a0a\u00a0<\/span><\/b>humidity level\u00a0<\/span><\/b>between 60 and 68<\/span><\/b>%<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Higher humidity can damage the bottle\u2019s labels, while lower humidity causes corks to dry up, leaving the wine open to oxidation.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Store your <\/span><\/b>wine<\/span><\/b>\u00a0in a wine<\/span><\/b>\u00a0fridge<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A wine fridge\u00a0is\u00a0a\u00a0good\u00a0alternative if you don’t have space for a wine cellar. A wine fridge keeps wine at a temperature of 10-15 degrees Celsius and at the right humidity level.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Serve your <\/span><\/b>wine at the perf<\/span><\/b>ect temperature\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Allow time for a stored bottle to reach serving temperature before offering it to other wine lovers.\u00a0This again depends on the wine.\u00a0Red\u00a0wine should be served somewhere between 12 and 19 degrees Celsius. White wines, on the other hand, should be served colder, between 8 and 12 degrees Celsius<\/span>. This is\u00a0<\/span>s<\/span>imilar to<\/span>\u00a0ros\u00e9\u00a0<\/span>and sparkling wine,\u00a0<\/span>which\u00a0<\/span>are both\u00a0<\/span>best preserved between 10 and 12 degrees Celsius.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How long can you keep wine after you\u2019ve opened it? This\u00a0also\u00a0depends on how you store it! Stored properly, an opened bottle of wine can last 3-5 days.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The best thing to do is to recork it promptly and tightly. If the cork is splintered or has been thrown out, a rubber wine stopper<\/span>\u00a0could<\/span>\u00a0be a solution to create a tight seal instead.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why should you choose wine in glass bottles?<\/h2>\n

For the best wine experience, as it was intended, glass remains the best choice. Glass bottles have a strong association with sustainability<\/a> and one that is much higher than other packaging materials. Wine, much like glass, is a natural product.<\/p>\n

They are not only a mark of quality but will play an important role in a more environmentally friendly future. Due to its unique qualities, glass wine bottles bring a sense of sustainability, luxury and aesthetics and make for a great evening of wine tasting with friends.
