Long practice in countries in Europe like Sweden, Belgium, and even France, reuse in wine bottles is on the rise. 

SevenFifty Daily reports that some wineries in Napa Valley are eschewing fancy bottle packaging to reduce their carbon footprint. Diana Snowden Seysses, the winemaker of family-owned Snowden Vineyards in the USA, launched Snowden ‘Cousins’ Merlot in reusable glass last year. 

For reuse to become prevalent, wine producers and wine consumers need to change their package purchasing priority to value the product inside the bottle, recognizing that the shape or weight of a bottle doesn't indicate wine quality. 

Lykwell will always prioritize requirements of our customers to meet changes in the packaging industry.
