Ready-to-drink wine glass with multilayer sheet
Multilayer sheet from
RPC Cobelplast is being used to create a new, ready-to-drink ‘easy wine glass’ from Cefour Wine & Beverage AB of Sweden.
The easy wine glass offers a selection of quality wines, including Merlot, Rosé Syrah and Chardonnay, in pre-filled and sealed plastic wine glasses. The 18.75cl size is particularly appropriate for all types of outdoor events where the use of glass is not suitable for safety considerations, whilst also offering the convenience of accurate portion control and no liquid waste.
For caterers, the easy wine glass means there are no personnel costs for preparing and pouring the wine, and thus queuing and serving times are reduced. Consumers can also benefit from being able to enjoy a ready glass of wine without having to open a full bottle.
The product is offered in two designs – 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.
Mikael Bergholts, Cefour Wine & Beverage’s general manager, comments, “Our easy wine glass pre-filled concept considerably simplifies the handling of wine, eliminates spoilage and increases security when serving. 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.”
Hi,
I’m looking for such a “ready-to-drink” wine glas. Do you know if they are still selling it anywhere?
Thanks!
