Development of a sustaiable and future-proof reusable system of wine bottles
Project
Project code: EIP-Agri-BW-2022-LMIKW
Contract period: 01.01.2022
- 31.12.2024
Budget: 506,635 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research

The typical and traditional vessel for wine is the glassbottle. It's scientifically prooven that the glassbottle provides the optimal conditions to store wine. However adds the ordenary one-way glassbottle around 50% to the CO2-footprint of a bottle wine in total. The changing conditions in agricultural production towards sustainable agri-systems and the rising energy-prices are leading more to multi-cycle solutions to save energy and reduce CO2-emissions. In the first months of 2022 the prices of single-use glassbottles rose about 30-40%, which caused rising worries of wine-producers. Thats the reason that the operational group 'Wein-Mehrweg' came together in that particular year to develop an practicable and futrure-proof multi-cycle system for 0,75L-winebottles. In addition, alternatives to glassbottles will also be investigated and evaluated. 5 work packages are planned in our project, which can develop a solution in the form of a reusable system for dealing with several current problems with the involvement of all 20 participating wine producers, 5 associations, one research partner and serveral trading partners.
