The champagne becomes lighter, according to several studies glass bottles pose a particular problem for bottles for sparkling wines and are supposed to be a precise thickness and strength to withstand the pressure. The carbon dioxide content in the bottle forced glass and closures (cork and wire cage) an average pressure of six bars for champagne, which imposes a bottle with walls much thicker than wine alone and said a closure therefore very suitable.
bottle of champagne standard currently weighs 900 grams, according to the CIVC , who announced the technical validation of a new bottle weighs 835 g.
According to the CIVC , this innovation would lead directly to the carbon footprint and tackle it from champagne industry since 2002.
Finally, the use of the new bottle of champagne could allow the entire industry to reduce its carbon footprint, and that of 8000 tons! Equivalent to an emission current four thousand cars.
The objective of this innovation with the desire to achieve a reduction in carbon footprint by 25% by the year 2020.
