Are paper wine bottles the future? These companies think so. A British company is replacing glass wine bottles with a unique paper alternative, and bringing the product to the United States. Frugalpac designs and manufactures paper wine bottles in an effort to help decarbonize the drink industry.

We believe it's up to six times lower," Frugalpac's product director JP Grogan told CBS News. The Frugalpac bottle weighs less than 3 ounces — almost five times lighter than a conventional glass bottle, saving on fuel and emissions in transport. Because each bottle starts its life flat-packed, it also means more of them can be...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |
