Tesco and Sustainable Wine Roundtable make glass bottle weight savings

Tesco has worked with suppliers and the Sustainable Wine Roundtable (SWR) to develop lighter wine bottles. As part of the company’s commitment to the wine industry and the Roundtable, it has already surpassed that target achieving a 410g bottle weight average reducing the amount of glass used in its wine bottles by over 300 tonnes

Through the Bottle Weight Accord, SWR aims to reduce average bottle weight by 130g across the industry to 420g per bottle by 2026.
