Environmental issues reached the French wine industry last month as two producers adapted their packaging to reduce carbon impact. Boisset Family Estates announced it would package all of its Beaujolais Nouveau wines exported to the US in plastic bottles. From November, the firm will start shipping around 30,000 cases of wine in 750ml PET bottles supplied by Constar, using Stelvin screw caps rather than cork. In addition, the Burgundy-based company will launch Fog Mountain, an organic California Nouveau, in the PET bottles. Boisset innovation brand manager Patrick Egan said the move would enable the firm to save up to 33% on freight charges and reduce its carbon footprint by 40%, saving more than 900 tonnes of carbon emissions.
