Aldi is not afraid to innovate when it comes to wine packaging or the wine itself. Last year, it introduced two wines housed in flat bottles made from recycled PET plastic. Flat bottles take up a lot less space and are therefore more carbon friendly. Plastic is lighter, also saving carbon emissions.
This year, Aldi has introduced an Italian Pinot Grigio in an innovative aluminium bottle that weighs more than 70 per cent less than standard glass bottles, again saving CO2 emissions. It is also fully recyclable. As well as this, Aldi now has a Sangria in a one-litre PET. Anybody who visits Spain will know that this mix of wine, chopped fruits, a sweetener and sparkling water is the perfect low-alcohol refresher on a sunny day.
