GOING GREENER DOWN UNDER

AUSTRALIA
MAY BE SUFFERING
from a severe drought but that hasn’t stopped the country
from being proactive with its environmentally friendly wine
packaging. Wine bottles are being replaced by milk cartons,
aluminum cans shaped as bottles, tetra packs and soft
sports-like packs. Demand from the northern hemisphere’s
private sector is driving the packaging changes in an effort
to reduce carbon emissions. While resistance is a given,
with time wine in alternative bottles could become as common
as the screwcap. Maybe.
