UK packaging firm GreenBottle has joined with California wine producer Truett-Hurst to introduce the first paper wine bottle in the US.
The paper bottle weighs only around 65g, and can be placed in an ice bucket for up to three hours without falling apart. GreenBottle used compressed recycled paper to make the bottle, along with natural inks for printing.
The rigid bottles consume only 15% of the energy that regular bottles take to produce.
