Development of a sustainable and future-proof reusable system of wine bottles
The typical and traditional vessel for wine is the glassbottle. It's scientifically prooven that the glassbottle provides the optimal conditions to store wine. However adds the ordenary one-way glassbottle around 50% to the CO2-footprint of a bottle wine in total. The changing conditions in agricultural production towards sustainable agri-systems and the rising energy-prices are leading more to multi-cycle solutions to save energy and reduce CO2-emissions. In the first months of 2022 the prices of single-use glassbottles rose about 30-40%, which caused rising worries of wine-producers.
Thats the reason that the operational group "Wein-Mehrweg" came together in that particular year to develop an practicable and futrure-proof multi-cycle system for 0,75L-winebottles. In addition, alternatives to glassbottles will also be investigated and evaluated. 5 work packages are planned in our project, which can develop a solution in the form of a reusable system for dealing with several current problems with the involvement of all 20 participating wine producers, 5 associations, one research partner and serveral trading partners.
Results and the Final report will be found here, as soon as the project is completed.
The primary goal of the project is the development and establishment of a reusable system for 0.75L wine bottles for the state of Baden-Württemberg. There is a strong dependence on trade and consumer behaviour, which will be taken into account to a large extent during the project period.
The project reduces CO2 emissions in the wine industry. In addition, wine producers ensure increased customer loyalty, lower costs and reduced dependencies.
