US wine in aluminium bottles

California winery JT Wines has launched a range of wines in aluminium bottles.

Available in more than 30 states across the country, FLASQ is said to be the first US wine packaged in 100% recyclable, aluminium bottles.

“FLASQ Wines is going boldly where wine in a glass and cork screws have not gone before,” says Jennifer Schreiber, partner and vice president of sales and marketing for Napa Valley-based JT Wines. “Whether you’re entertaining or giving the gift of wine this season, FLASQ delivers shatter proof, quick chilling and sustainable aluminium bottles, and it boasts varietals hailing from the leading California wine regions. Bottom line, FLASQ provides a modern, convenient, socially responsible and fun approach to the enjoyment of wine.”

FLASQ wine is being sold in 375ml aluminium bottles and is available in Chardonnay, Merlot and Cuvée Blanc varietals which hail from California’s renowned wine regions.
