ARDAGH Glass Packaging-Europe has introduced a new lightweight range of standard wine bottles.
Produced in Germany for the European market, the 750ml Bordeaux and Schlegel bottles are produced with a weight reduction – from 410g to 360g – using a high recycled glass cullet level of up to 80%.
Both bottles are produced with a screw cap finish, while the Bordeaux range is also available with a cork mouth finish. Ardagh added that both bottle styles are available in flint, antique green and various standard green colours, with the addition of a royal blue option for the Schlegel range.
Stuart Santon, chief commercial officer, AGP-Europe said, “These new lightweight wine bottles in a range of colours and finishes offer our customers versatility and choice, while reducing the carbon footprint of their glass packaging.”
