In-Market Bottling: Successful Sustainability

29 Jan In-Market Bottling: Successful Sustainability

Carbon-reduction targets, cost pressures, and greater format flexibility have seen bulk shipping and in-market bottling become the default option for long-haul exporters.

Whilst a standard container shipped with bottled wine fits approximately 3,080 bottles, the same container when shipped in bulk fits the equivalent of approximately 5,280 bottles. This comparison reflects the significant and measurable advantages of bulk shipping: including the sustainability gains of reduced emissions per litre, as well as the cost savings of not having to transport heavy glass manufactured across oceans.

This shift towards bulk shipping and in-market bottling is proving to be a structural shift in the global wine supply chain and with rising costs, regulatory pressure and consumer demand for lower-impact packaging, bulk wine shipments look set to grow in popularity.
