Percentage of recycled paperboard in a new paper wine bottle launched by British sustainable packaging company Frugalpac. It has a carbon footprint 84% less than glass, weighs up to 5x less and uses 4x less water to produce. A food-grade liner insert retains the wine and separates from the paperboard which can be recycled. It follows the launch of a paper beer bottle last year by Danish brewer Carlsberg, and a paper spirits bottle by multinational drinks company Diageo.

Darkness as Delicious

It is true that if we look at a glass of wine closely enough, we see the entire universe. There are the things of physics: the twisting liquid that evaporates depending on the wind and weather, the reflections in the glass, and our imagination adds the atoms. The glass is a distillation of the earth’s rocks, and in its composition, we see the secrets of the universe’s age, and the evolution of stars.

— Richard Feynman (1918-1988) American theoretical physicist; winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965
