PET plastic more ecological and practical than glass!

[Christophe]

Glass 0 - Plastic 1 for ecology!

Plastic replaces glass to condition wine: apparently there are only advantages, even ecological ones! A textbook case?



At the marketing level, however, I don't know if it will work: wine in glass bottles is an "ancestral" tradition and plastic was generally reserved for wines of (very) poor quality.

It will be hard to change the minds of many people ...

It is worth thinking about: a glass bottle weighs 3-400 gr: how much energy does it take to make it and then recycle it? either by washing or by recasting?
And why not progress? We abandoned the amphora, I think.

It's a new PET that smells bad!

Hello,

I have often read that alcohol and plastic do not mix well.
Have you ever had a plastic taste in your mouth when drinking bottled water? ditto with the aluminum cans?
I am already confused about using plastic caps rather than cork.
It is true that there is much less mass to move, but is this the only reason for the abandonment of the instructions for glass bottles?
