When we are boasting about boxed wine in the same way we would bicycle-riding, we know our mission is having an impact.” In year one, the APA will roll out several initiatives aimed at fostering awareness and adoption of alternative wine packaging. Strategies include partnerships with key indus- try players, joint retail merchandising efforts, and tasting events to demonstrate the range of high-quality wines in alternative formats available. The organization will also launch publicly available re- sources including educational materials on the environ- mental effects of glass bottles and benefits of alternative packaging.
