‘Vin in a tin’: Waitrose cans mini wine bottles in carbon-cutting measure – The Guardian

January 10, 2023 by Wine

Waitrose is canning the mini wine bottle in an effort to lower the carbon footprint of takeaway drinks.The supermarket

plans to change all of its 187ml glass bottle– except those consisting of champagne, prosecco, cava and rioja since of limitations imposed by those particular appellations– to aluminium cans by next week. The cans will come in 187ml, 200ml and 250ml sizes.The relocate to “vin in a tin “is anticipated to save more than 300 tonnes of glass product packaging and will halve the carbon footprint per beverage because the recyclable cans require less energy to carry as they are lighter and use up less space than bottles.The relocation follows the popularisation of “gin in a tin”and other canned mixed drinks, particularly during the pandemic lockdowns, which triggered outside drinking and picnics.Drinks makers have been looking for alternative packaging because the rate of glass has actually practically tripled given that the start of the pandemic amidst increased need for other material besides plastic packaging.The cost of aluminium has also risen however by about a 3rd, according to information from letsrecycle.com. Waitrose said it would not necessarily make expense savings from the policy shift as it cost more to fill a can.Barry Cock, the beer, red wine and spirit bulk sourcing manager at Waitrose, which in 2015 bought in 3m small bottle, stated:”We’re delighted to leader this relocation and make reducing waste even much easier for our clients. We understand that more people are purchasing their drinks in canned formats, from cocktails

on the go to craft beer, which is why making this shift in our wine classification makes so much sense.”Picking up a can of red wine is a terrific way to delight in white wine in small amounts, specifically if you’re heading to a picnic or social occasion. It likewise enables consumers to try a brand-new range without fretting about waste or cost. We hope the relocation will encourage suppliers to continue to develop a varied and amazing range of white wines in cans.”The new cans will include a vast array of grape choices consisting of whites, reds and rosés from Sauvignon Blanc, Malbec, Pinot Grigio, and Chardonnay.In the UK about three-quarters of aluminium cans and glass bottles are recycled, primarily through regional authority kerbside collections, according to the government.While cans and bottles can be considerably recyclable (with glass sorting plants

now able to ensure the material can be used to make new bottles, according to the Waste and Resources Action Programme)in the past a big proportion of glass waste was used for building aggregate.Scotland and Wales plan to include glass bottles in deposit return plans anticipated to launch this summer and next year respectively, however the UK government said this would not be so for the English and Northern Ireland versions, which will focus on plastic bottles.
