Greenskin Wine presents a premium wine experience in a convenient 750ml soft pouch, ideal for those who want to enjoy fine wine without the hassle of heavy, bulky, breakable bottles.
With 8 varieties to choose from, they have a superb choice of whites and reds from the world-renowned Margaret River and Great Southern WA wine regions.
Greenskin Wine pouches hold 750ml but are around half the size and weight of a standard bottle of wine, which will save on weight and loads of fridge and storage space. They are also unbreakable, making them ideal to take onboard your boat.
And once the joy is over, they fold flat, and weigh just 17gms, so you do not have to lug bulky empties with you.
They also chill quickly, and if you just want a glass or two, you can squeeze the air from the pouch and reseal, and your wine will stay fresh for up to 3 weeks!
Sustainability:
You may wonder how this product is more sustainable than glass.
It’s a fact that *68% of a bottle of wine’s carbon footprint is in the packaging. *Source: Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI).
If we washed and repeatedly refilled every single bottle we bought, glass would be the best. But, this simply does not happen, and (sadly) more than 50% ends up in landfills around Australia no matter what colour bin you place it in.
An Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation report has estimated that of the 1.3 million tonnes of glass wine bottles discarded in Australia each year, less than half is recovered. When it is recycled, it has to be sorted and reheated. More energy. More carbon.
The larger issue is the amount of energy it takes to create a glass bottle plus the carbon emissions produced when transporting it. Glass is bulky and heavy to transport, plus the shape of glass is inefficient to transport – think of all that space between each round bottle.
With data indicating that roughly 86% of wines are designed to be consumed on purchase, the fact they are still packaged in glass (which was originally for cellaring purposes) is certainly not the most sustainable option.
Here are a few reasons why a Greenskin Wine pouch is more sustainable than glass.
Each 750ml Greenskin pouch:
- Takes 18% of the energy it takes to produce an equivalent 750ml glass bottle.
- Emits far fewer emissions to transport due to its lightweight, compact nature. For example, when they freight one (1) truckload of empty Greenskin pouches to a winery to get filled, to transport the same volume of glass wine bottles, it would take twenty-six (26) trucks! This is before the full containers get sent to the market, where Greenskin is 60% of the weight and the space requirement of standard 750ml glass bottles, further reducing carbon emissions.
The ultimate kicker is that the pouches are 100% RECYCLABLE, and they make it free and easy to recycle them.
Each 6-pack of Greenskin Wine includes a PREPAID mailer bag for your empties. Drop them in the mail & they go directly to their recycling partner, where every part of the pouch (and mailer bag) is 100% recycled.
