釀酒也要減碳 法國波爾多計畫減排15% 【自由電子報11/20 22:33】
據報導，該委員會19日公布一份調查報告顯示，波爾多地區的葡萄酒從釀造到銷售環節都會排放溫室氣體，相當於每年產生20萬噸的二氧化碳。生產酒瓶等器具更是排放「大戶」，每年排放的二氧化碳可達8.5萬噸，約佔總排放量的43%；其次，葡萄酒的運輸也產生了大量溫室氣體，佔總排放量的18%。
該委員會技術處負責人米里埃爾‧巴爾特表示，為了達到5年內減排15%的目標，制訂的計劃包括，減輕酒瓶重量、改進器具製作工藝、發展葡萄酒的海洋運輸以及在葡萄種植過程中盡量減少化肥和殺蟲劑的使用等。
Volute – premium wine in single-serve aluminum bottles
(不過下文說是法國人的新點子，但這家公司好像是位於加州？)
繼在2008 Vinexpo試過一開罐紅酒後…實說上次試過後，感覺不差，有點像beaujolais...^^
法國人又有新點子!!!!!
"喝紅酒"沒在怕地點不合適的啦…哈哈;擺脫傳統玻璃瓶裝設計改用"鋁"
November 26, 2008 Now here’s a simple but very clever idea we’re sure will catch on, through sheer necessity. Volute is a new premium wine brand producing red, white and rosé wines in a single-serve aluminum container. As the bottle is made from recyclable, unbreakable, lightweight aluminum, it can be safely taken where no premium wine has gone before – everywhere ! Concerts and sporting events ban glass bottles for safety reasons, and their use at the beach, camping, hiking ad infinitum is also impractical. The wine has no artificial additives, is sourced from small, independent Bordeaux wineries and is AOC-rated, signifying the highest quality of French wine. The single-serve bottles hold exactly one quarter of a standard 750ml bottle of wine - 187.5ml (6.3 oz). Available on-line, a three-bottle taster pack of all three varieties costs US$12 and a case of 12 costs US$49 – basically, four bucks a glass.
Wines in France are categorized according to a four-tier grading system. At the bottom of the classification hierarchy are Vin de Table wines from a mix of several grapes, sometimes from different European Union countries. At the next level are Vin de Pays wines, and then Vin de Qualité Supérieure wines. Volute is not produced from any of the wines in the lower three grades. The higher quality wines are classified as Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) wines, the only grade of wines used by Volute. AOC wines are strictly ruled concerning everything from growing methods and production to localization, grape variety, and minimum alcohol content. AOC wines are analysed and taste tested as part of this stringent legislation, which has been enacted to provide a measure of guarantee for excellent quality in AOC wines. All three varieties of Volute wines contain12.5 percent alcohol.
Volute chose aluminum not only because it brings qualities identical to glass in terms of compatibility with wine, but it also protects the wine from light, which accelerates the (bad) aging process. Aluminum is 100-percent recyclable, can be infinitely recycled, and results in significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, thanks to it lower weight. It has a lower overall carbon footprint than wine in traditional glass bottles. Finally, no corkscrew or wineglasses are necessary.
