Our silver lining is on the outside.
Chances are, you have only seen wine served from a glass bottle. But actually wine wasn’t always stored in glass bottles – that’s only been since the 16th century. And wine has been around much, much longer than that. Throughout history, every civilization simply used the container that would protect the wine best, based on their knowledge and technology at that time. The Egyptians and Greeks used amphoras. In the Middle Ages wine was stored in goatskin. Ceramics were used – even wood.
And now we’ve evolved past glass to aluminum. We chose aluminum not only because it brings qualities identical to glass, but it also protects the wine from light. All lighting sources emit ultraviolet light and damaging visible spectrum radiation, which can lead to what is referred to as "the light struck effect" or "gout de lumiere", which causes the wine aromas to deteriorate.
Aluminum is also ecologically more responsible since it’s infinitely recyclable, unbreakable and generates less transportation related pollution due to its lower weight.
