Wine pouches are in vogue; and good for the planet
When I posted an image of the Greenskin wine pouches on social media a couple of days ago, it provoked an angry reaction.
Dinosaurs were out in force with comments like: “We don’t need more plastic in the world, wine should be drunk from a bottle” and “the planet does not need more disposable packaging”.
Wrong people. Wrong.
Greenskin Wines are promoted as Australia’s first 100% recyclable, re-sealable, glassless way to enjoy quality wine.
Ideal for taking on a picnic, or to the beach, the lightweight, “unbreakable”, re-sealable Greenskin pouches each hold 750ml of wine, take 80% less energy than glass to produce, and weigh 40% less than bottles, producing far fewer emissions in manufacture and transport.
They also come with a reply paid envelope to send them away for recycling when they are empty.
