13 Jan 2023 --- Waitrose shoppers can expect wine cans on the shelves instead of glass bottles from January 15 onward. The supermarket is replacing most of its small wine formats – except Champagne, prosecco and cava, and Rioja – from glass bottles to aluminum cans as part of its ambition to reduce its carbon footprint. “Aluminum cans weigh significantly less than glass and create less than half the amount of CO2 than the equivalent single-use glass bottle. Cans can also be recycled an infinite number of times,” says Barry Dick, beer, wine and spirit bulk sourcing manager at Waitrose.
