To do a little bit more for the environment and to ensure no part of the More Wine packaging need go to landfill please do send us back your plastic inner.
By not importing our still wines in heavy glass bottles we save up to 80% on the carbon footprint of this movement of wine, compared to the same journey in regular glass. Please see stats from Alko, the Finnish state wine monopoly and full article here.
