ROLLING HILLS Calif., (Sept. 17, 2024) – Castle Rock Winery, renowned for its award-winning wines and commitment to quality at value pricing, is proud to announce its latest initiative to enhance sustainability: transitioning to lighter glass bottles across its entire portfolio. This move is part of Castle Rock’s ongoing efforts to reduce its environmental impact and align with modern, eco-conscious wine production standards.
As consumers become increasingly aware of sustainability issues, Castle Rock Winery is responding by implementing eco-friendly practices that will have a meaningful impact on the environment. By adopting lighter glass bottles, the winery aims to reduce its carbon footprint by cutting down on the energy required for transportation and manufacturing, while also minimizing waste associated with packaging.
Greg Popovich, owner of Castle Rock Winery, said:
“Our decision to switch to lighter glass is a natural extension of our commitment to responsible winemaking. We believe that sustainability and quality can go hand in hand. By making this shift, we are not only reducing our environmental footprint but also reinforcing our dedication to providing consumers with great wine at a great price.”
Benefits of the Transition:
- Lower Environmental Impact: The use of lighter glass results in reduced fuel consumption during transport, lowering carbon emissions.
- Eco-Friendly Manufacturing: Lighter glass requires less energy to produce, further reducing the winery’s overall environmental impact.
- Continued Excellence in Quality: The lighter bottles maintain the same standards of quality and preservation for which Castle Rock wines are known.
Castle Rock Winery will roll out its new, lighter glass bottles starting with its 2023 vintage wines, including the award-winning 2023 Rosé of Pinot Noir and 2023 California Cuvée Pinot Noir, both of which recently garnered Gold Medals at the 2024 California State Fair Wine Competition.
This initiative reflects Castle Rock Winery’s ongoing efforts in sustainability without compromising the quality or value that has made the brand a household name among wine enthusiasts.
