Ardagh launches its lightest glass wine bottle

Ardagh Glass Packaging-Europe has launched a new 300 g lightweight glass wine bottle for still wines that combines ultra-lightweight design with high strength and premium shelf appeal.

As the wine industry faces increasing pressure to reduce its environmental impact, this bottle delivers on three critical fronts: material reduction, structural performance, and brand presentation. The 300 g 75 cl bottle is engineered to perform on high-speed filling lines, withstand supply chain handling and maintain the visual appeal expected of glass packaging, all while delivering a significant reduction in bottle weight.

“This is more than a lightweight bottle, it’s a complete packaging solution,” said Nick Witton, Sales Director at Ardagh Glass Packaging-UK. “We’ve developed a 300 g bottle that also delivers the strength and premium look that brands and consumers demand.”

This 300g bottle launch supports AGP’s commitment to driving innovation in sustainable packaging design, offering practical solutions to help wine producers meet ambitious sustainability targets.
