The world’s first paper wine bottle is about to be launched by the company, Greenbottle. With less weight than your average glass bottle and far more biodegradable the carbon footprint is much reduced. In turn, this brings down transport costs and brings up its green credentials.

But if you’re imagining pouring your wine from something that looks like a milk carton, think again. The product will literally be shaped like a wine bottle! It’s certainly got many benefits but personally I still miss the traditional pop of a cork as opposed to the screw tops.

A plant is due to open in Cornwall shortly.
