Multilayer sheet from RPC Cobelplast is being used to create the ready-to-drink 'Easy Wine Glass' from Sweden's Cefour Wine & Beverage.
Easy Wine Glass offers a selection of wines, including Merlot, Rosé Syrah and Chardonnay, in pre-filled and sealed plastic wine glasses. According to the manufacturer, the 18.75cl size is appropriate for all types of outdoor events where the use of glass is not suitable for safety reasons.
Two designs are offered – the traditional wine glass and a stemless version, which offers greater stability for aeroplane and train service.
The glasses are formed, filled and sealed using transparent PP/EVOH/PP sheet from RPC Cobelplast on an Alfa machine. The EVOH barrier layer prevents oxygen ingress to help preserve the freshness and quality of the wine for up to 10 months.
"Our Easy Wine Glass pre-filled concept considerably simplifies the handling of wine, eliminates spoilage and increases security when serving," said Mikael Bergholts, Cefour Wine & Beverage's general manager.
"It is essential that the wine glasses look good, as well as being safe and practical, in order to reflect the premium image of the wines, and the quality of the sheet supplied by RPC Cobelplast has helped to deliver this."
