Based in Oregon, the company has launched the Outdoor brand in an attempt to encourage consumers to start enjoying wine during hikes and open-air adventures instead of only drinking in at dinner.

In order for the bottle to be carried around without being broken or the wine being compromised, Amcor designed a shatterproof and portable 750ml bottle for Naked Wines.

Spirits, wine, and beer vice president of Amcor’s diversified products division, Beth Rettig, said: “Consumers are active and living on-the-go lifestyles. They are taking wine with them when they hike, hit the beach, and visit friends. Amcor’s PET bottles are a lightweight and durable solution for consumers’ increasing demands.”

“People want to enjoy wine more casually, no longer holding it for special occasions or to simply be enjoyed with dinner,” she added.

The company’s PET wine bottles are compatible with twist-off aluminium closures and use a barrier coating technology that helps protect the wine from oxidising. The new product is one-sixth the weight of a traditional glass wine bottle, has a durable screw-cap and is made from BPA-free plastic. The packaging has a shelf life of up to 18 months.
