WTAF? It's time for the wine industry to take an alternative approach to packaging

It is an open secret in the wine industry that the only way to make a significant step towards sustainability in wine is to move away from glass bottles. Until recently, there wasn't anything being done about it, so a group of like-minded wine brands have formed an alliance "Wine Traders For Alternative Formats" (WTAF) to tackle the issue.

The group is on a mission to help reduce the carbon footprint of wine industry through eco-friendly innovations such as alternative format packaging, innovative recycling schemes, sustainably made wines, carbon life-cycle assessments and reforestation schemes.

WTAF founding members are BIB Wine, Canned Wine Co, Copper Crew, Graft Wine Company, More Wine and When in Rome Wine, a vanguard of the new wave of wine companies, who believe the biggest change they can make in wine is to reach for something other than a bottle.

In addition, WTAF are excited to have added some incredibly innovative new companies to the members list - Le Grappin, Kiss of Wine, Cantina Goccia, Sustainable Wine Solutions, The English Vine, Vinca Wine and Weino BIB have joined the alliance.
