Ask anyone who knows me - they'll tell you I love to drink wine.
Not really in a 'snobby, expensive-is-better' kind of way but instead a 'tastes-nice, reasonably-priced' kind of way.
At £9.99 for 1.5L (2 bottles), the Arniston Bay Chenin Blanc wine pouch hits that sweet spot ~ with a twist of ecoSENSE.
This wine pouch - called Astrapouch - weighs about 20 times less than glass bottles. And since the wine is made & packaged in South Africa and then shipped around the globe, the weight of the package makes a big difference to the eco-impact. (Trust me; this phenomenon is easily detectable on recycling day!)
The best way we scientists have to measure, or quantify, eco-impact is a life-cycle analysis or LCA. (more on that soon!) The folks down at Arniston Bay did an LCA and they are sharing the results:
* 80% lower carbon footprint
* 90% less landfill waste compared to a glass (okay but NO excuses for not recycling glass!)
The light package is also perfect for picnics, tailgating and pretty much any other time you're carrying alcohol around - and the wine stays fresh for a month (not that it's ever around my house that long!)

You're the expert but it tasted pretty darn good to me! :)
