Environmental issues reached the French wine industry recently as two producers adapted their packaging to reduce carbon impact. Boisset Family Estates announced it would package all of its Beaujolais Nouveau wines exported to the US in plastic bottles. From November, the company will start shipping around 30,000 cases of wine in 750ml PET bottles supplied by Constar, using Stelvin screw caps, rather than cork.
