Last September, Swedish wine importer and contract-packager Facino AB (www. facino.se) started packaging wine in plastic pouches as an alterative to the bag-in-box (BIB), on behalf of Swedish wine distributor Fondberg & Co AB. The 3-L pouch, which is a three-layer lamination with a tap similar to that of a BIB, is estimated to reduce waste by 90 percent. The two wines available in the new bag--South African Douglas Green Bellingham and Spanish Agramont Crianza--have enjoyed good sales at Systembolaget, the Swedish Alcohol Retail Monopoly, and distributor Fondberg & Co. plans to add more products to the line.
