Aldi is set to become the first UK supermarket to remove protective sleeves from corked own-label wines, a move that will eliminate an estimated 38 tons of packaging annually. Following a trial since March 2024, Aldi will roll out the change across all 46 of its corked wine lines by the end of 2025. Selections such as Côtes du Rhone, Rioja Reserva, and Atlantique Rosé will be sold without the aluminium and plastic sleeves.
