The WIT company packages wine in screen-printed glass tubes.
As part of its development program, it will shortly set up a new plant in Bordeaux. The WIT packaging process is unique in the world and was awarded the Oenovation 2008 Trophy. It consists of a glass tube bonded into a screw-top aluminum closure.
Packed under atmosphere-controlled conditions in 40,50, 60 or 100ml sizes, it offers optimum keeping conditions for the finest wines for a minimum of two years.
The format is targeted not only at tasting and sampling, but also for drinking, as gift pack selections or as complimentary gifts, such as in top hotels.
We are the only ones in the world to offer this pack format. We have taken out 5 patents covering 17 countries asserts Charly Pairaud, CEO of the new plant at Blanquefort, which will go on stream during the first half of April. The choice of this location is not just linked to the development opportunity afforded to us by one of our partners, it is a strategic one. We will be sitting next door to world-renowned vineyards and this represents a major growth potential for our operation.
