Wine takes the ‘green’ route

Beverage logistics specialists JF Hillebrand
are finding increasing support for their
VinLiner concept – an environmentally
friendly option for the transport of wine.
The wine is packed in regular containers
lined with VinLiner, which protects liquid
from temperature fluctuations, contamination
risks and other harmful effects of long
distance transport. And shipping the beverage
in bulk results in significant savings in carbon
emissions.
One container of bulk wine can hold
some 24 000 litres of wine. To ship the
same quantity of bottled wine requires
over two containers – doubling costs and
carbon emissions.
