Global market for wine packaging

According to a new report by Freedonia, changes in consumption patterns are reshaping the wine market, and the packaging industry around it. Glass bottles, mainly in the familiar 750-milliliter size, remain the dominant packaging format for wine. However, the near-monopolistic grip that glass bottles once had has been loosened by bag-in-box containers, aseptic cartons, and several other package types.
Although glass bottles are still used to package most wine in most countries, metal screw caps and synthetic stoppers have established an appreciable market presence. In a broad sense, there is a correlation between the cost of wine and the value of the materials used to package it.
