Should we boycott heavy wine bottles? – Ask Decanter
This article is edited from the original ‘Burning Question’ piece published in Decanter magazine in 2014. Quotes below are from 2014. It was written by Chris Mercer and has been edited for Decanter.com by Eleanor Douglas.
Such bottles also have diva tendencies in cellars, often requiring special racks, and there are questions over how environmentally friendly they are.
Ian Smith, commercial director at UK restaurant, bar and retail supplier Matthew Clark, believes that more consumers are becoming aware of environmental issues but that there is a stronger cost argument for cutting bottle weight.
‘Leisure spending is under pressure and our restaurant customers are looking to keep wine prices down while maintaining margins, as operating costs increase.
‘Heavier-weight bottles are expensive and increase the price on a restaurant list significantly.’
But he said many drinkers still judge quality by bottle weight, which means lighter bottles have an image problem in the world of fine dining in particular.
‘With the above in mind, Matthew Clark continues to work on the presentation of lower-weight, lower-cost, environmentally friendly bottles,’ he said.
