Wine, beer drinkers prefer glass bottles to cans, boxes
September 7th, 2009 - 1:31 pm ICT by ANILondon, Sep 7 (ANI): A new survey has revealed that wine and beer drinkers prefer to drink from glass bottles rather than from cans and boxes.
The poll conducted by InSites Consulting found that 94 percent of consumers would rather have their wine from a bottle, and a majority of beer drinkers favoured bottles to cans, reports the Scotsman.
In recent years, manufacturers have been encouraged to cut down on glass to reduce the carbon emissions produced from shipping heavy packaging around the world.
Other products, which consumers preferred to come in glass, were spreads, baby food, spirits, and condiments. (ANI)
