Increasing wine makers choice - Amcor Flexibles presents Stelvin® Inside!
January 28, 2013
Today, Amcor Flexibles Capsules, the pioneer of Stelvin® aluminium screw caps and liners for wine, is proud to announce the launch of Stelvin® Inside: a brand new range of four different liners for wine. This marks a watershed moment in the history of screw caps for wine as the new range doubles wine maker's OTR (Oxygen Transmission Rate) choice giving them far more tools to help craft and perfect their wine.
Thanks to Amcor's proven experience with Stelvin® combined with - unlike any other screw cap manufacturer - our extensive film know-how as global leader in flexible packaging, we are perfectly poised to bring the new range of liners to market.
The new Amcor Stelvin® liners were developed by Amcor. All of the films used in the liners are produced by Amcor and are PVDC-Free. The liners themselves are manufactured exclusively by our development partner MGJ, a leading container seal specialist.
Each of the four new liners has different OTR target which thanks to Amcor's film know-how ensures a low level of oxygen dispersions allowing wine makers and consumers consistency from one bottle to the next.
Nicolas Freynet, General Manager Amcor Flexibles Capsules, "We believe this is a great time for wine makers and for Stelvin® screw caps, a contemporary solution which has been around for more than 50 years! As more and more wine makers switch to Stelvin®, we are delighted to be able to meet their clear need for increased liner OTR choice."
The four Stelvin® Inside liners will be presented for the first time today at the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium, Sacramento, CA at the Amcor Booth #1610.
