[Australia] Oi Showcases New Lightweight Wine Bottle Range

O-I has visited the Barossa Vineyards to showcase a new lightweight wine bottle range. The visit was one of a series of South Australian roadshow tours throughout June and July to highlight the new range of substantially lighter and more environmentally friendly glass wine bottles. The O-I team was at Peter Lehmann Wines, Tanunda, to talk in-depth about the new bottles. O-I has invested around $3.5M in equipment and trials at its Adelaide plant to reduce the weight of selected Claret and Burgandy wine bottles between 18-28%. Such a weight reduction represents one of the largest breakthroughs in wine bottle making in Australia and retains O-I's Adelaide plant at the forefront of wine bottle making technology globally.
