27 Nov 2019 --- With demand for canned wines on the rise, contract wine packer Greencroft Bottling has invested over £2 million (US$2.6 million) in the UK’s first large-scale wine canning line. Working closely with Ardagh Group Metal Beverage Europe, the can filling line is initially focusing on the popular 200ml and 250ml slimline cans but is also ready to handle Ardagh’s new 187ml Wine Can format. The line has gone live at Greencroft Bottling Company in County Durham, boasting a filler speed of 17,000 cans per hour and offering both still and carbonated filling for wine, soft drinks and RTDs.
