When I surf the web looking for one fact, I often come across other facts that are equally interesting. There are changes going on in the wine packaging industry that have pluses and minuses. I am talking about the use of screw caps and PET, a plastic which has the more formal name of polyethylene terephthalate. I read two articles on the Wineanorak.com website that provide will provide you some insight into these packaging changes. The articles articulate much better that I can the pros and cons of the screw caps and PET bottles.

Other wine issues that are in the news are the rising levels of alcohol in wine and the wine industry’s attempt to go-green with regards to production and sustainability. I provided links to two interesting articles you will find helpful in evaluating these additional wine issues.
