“I would highlight two advantages of this guide: it provides alternatives to every aspect of packaging, making you also think of new aspects that you had not even considered before; and it reinforces the idea that every step counts, that every progress, even if small, is good for the planet.” (Victoria Gonzalez-Gordon, Gonzalez Byass)
Carbon footprint of a 0.75 l bottle of Italian wine, over its entire life cycle, ranges from 0.9 KgCo2 eq at 1.9 kg Co2 eq
In a sector deeply rooted in tradition, the way in which wine is packaged often goes unnoticed and the glass bottle is neither questioned in its structural characteristics nor are they considered alternatives.
It becomes necessary to create a rupture and encourage and take a more conscious approach to production and consumption, even for wine packaging. The Unpacking Wine guide addresses this challenge and offers a practical and informed resource for wine producers who understand that packaging decisions do not only concern their product, but systemically influence the environment, consumer perception and, ultimately, the legacy of the sector.
Unpackging wine guide is a document created to guide informed decisions regarding the packaging that each producer chooses for their wine, taking into account the environmental impact at every stage.
This is not a directive, but an invitation: an invitation to rethink, innovate and reimagine. It is an extremely practical guide, which shares ideas, real case studies and concrete steps, knowing that real change begins when knowledge meets practice.
The guide is structured in six chapters:
“Wine producers are experts in wine, not in packaging”: this guide was created to be of real support to their work.
of data, reflections and case studies
professionist* and academic*
for universities, schools, journalists*
Limits to consider
• The guide is downloadable only in English and also covers technical topics that are not easy to understand;
• The cost of approx. 20€ for private individuals can be a deterrent to its access: could consortia and groups of winemakers contribute to their free distribution in the various states?
Potential
• Each component of the packaging investigated is accompanied by 'benefits' and 'limits/challenges', facilitating a critical reading useful for a thoughtful choice
• The guide demonstrates and brings to worldwide attention the enormous impact (up to 40%) that packaging has on the entire wine production chain, inviting change.

Non-profit organization founded by “The Fladgate Partnership” (Taylor's Port, Fonseca, Croft, The Yeatman, World of Wine, as well as other companies and brands). The Porto Protocol is a global movement that shares practical knowledge to enable the wine industry to act to mitigate climate change and promote sustainability. Founded by Taylor's Port, it was born from the conviction that, if you work together, sharing successes, failures and experiences, you can achieve systemic change and create a ripple effect that extends far beyond the wine industry. The movement feeds an open and dynamic platform of solutions and resources, consisting of more than 250 members, spread over 5 continents, 20 countries across the entire wine value chain. The Port Protocol is a key result of the “Climate Change Leadership - Solutions for the Wine Industry” conferences, a commitment on the part of all participants to adopt and promote the principles and measures established at the top, signing the Letter of Principles for the Porto Protocol.
