JT Wines introduces new recyclable aluminum wine bottles
JT Wines has introduced FLASQ Wines, a first domestinc wine sold in 100% recyclable and quick- chilling aluminum bottles, designed for highly-mobile lifestyles and to protect the environment.
According to the company, FLASQ's Chardonnay and Merlot varietals taste great and hail from California's prominent Monterey and San Luis Obispo Counties.
The grapes are harvested from California's Central Coast. FLASQ aluminum bottles and screw caps are made in Ohio and Indiana, respectively.
According to the company, the labels are produced in Washington and boxes are manufactured in Arkansas.
The aluminum container reprocessing practice saves 92% of the energy required to produce aluminum from bauxite ore, according to the EPA's individual WAste Reduction Model (iWARM), and these bottles can be recycles a number of times.
Compared to glass bottles, the FLASQ aluminum bottle carbon footprint is reduced by 35% due to lighter case weight during shipping. Furthermore, the bottles are not crisscrossing the globe during production, as seen with many manufactured products. They stay within the confines of the US.
JT Wines co-founder and CEO Tim McDonald said, "Here at JT Wines, we place great importance on our environmental commitment. It was imperative for the FLASQ aluminum bottles and screw caps to be 100% recyclable, while also preserving the integrity of the wine."
FLASQ Wines are priced from $5.99-$7.99 per 375ml demi-bottle.
