Plastic Bottles Good for Wine Footprint, Bad For Quality
VILLENAVE-D'ORNON, France — Wine companies and retailers have been switching away from glass bottles in order to lighten the environmental footprint of their packaging, but in doing so they are shortening the lives of some wines.

White wine stays fresh for only six months when it is in plastic bottles and bags, according to a study by the Institute of Vine and Wine Sciences (ISVV) of Bordeaux.

Over one year, the French research group measured the amounts of gases in different wine packaging and tested the color and taste of the wines at regular intervals.

The group tested red and white Bordeaux wines in 75cl and 18.7cl glass, single-layer PET and multi-player PET bottles, and bag-in-box packaging.
