IVPA urges reinstatement of standardised edible oil packaging
The innovative aluminium bottle weighs just 95g, almost 75 per cent lighter than a standard glass bottle, and is fully recyclable
Aldi is toasting a greener future with the launch of the UK’s first supermarket’s own-brand aluminium wine bottle. Arriving in stores on 14th April, the Costellore Pinot Grigio delivers exceptional value and impressive sustainability credentials.
The innovative aluminium bottle weighs just 95g, almost 75 per cent lighter than a standard glass bottle, and is fully recyclable. This significant weight reduction translates to a considerable transport saving of over 5 tonnes (the equivalent of a small elephant) per truckload.
The wine itself, a crisp and refreshing Pinot Grigio with notes of zesty lemon and orchard fruits, is shipped directly from Italy and bottled at a sustainably powered UK winery. It’s the perfect accompaniment to seafood, white meats, light creamy sauces, or pasta.
This launch comes hot on the heels of Aldi being crowned ‘Sustainable Drinks Retailer of the Year’ at The Drinks Retailing Awards, highlighting the supermarket’s commitment to sustainable practices. This award acknowledges Aldi’s ongoing efforts, including the introduction of a super-lightweight bottle in partnership with Lanchester Wines and two own-brand wines in paper bottles.
