Why most wine bottles are packaged in glass bottles

What we see in the market, whether it is beer, liquor, wine, fruit wine, or even health wine, medicinal wine, no matter what kind of wine packaging and glass bottles could not be separated with glass bottle, especially in beer  there are more exhibit. Glass bottle is a traditional beverage packaging container in our country, and glass is also a kind of packaging material with great historical significance. With a variety of packaging materials pouring into the market, glass containers still occupy an important position in beverage packaging, which is inseparable from its packaging characteristics that could not be replaced by other packaging materials.

It is understood that 71% of beer containers in the world are made of glass, and China is the country with the highest proportion of beer bottles in the world, accounting for 55% of all glass beer bottles, exceeding 50 billion bottles each year. Except for glass bottles, I have not seen other packaging for wine, health wine, medicinal wine and other wines in the market. This can be seen from the important position of glass bottles in wine packaging. So why are so many wine bottles made of glass?

First, it must be washed with alkali before the bottle washer. If a plastic bottle is used to enter it, it is easy to react with alkali, and the glass bottle can just not react with alkali, so the hygiene and quality of the wine bottle are enhanced;

Second, beer itself contains a lot of gas such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc., especially carbon dioxide will burst when subjected to a violent collision, which is the only shortcoming of glass bottles;

Third, for the packaging containers seen on the market, only the glass bottle itself is smooth and has low friction, fast flow speed, and high water production efficiency;

Fourth, when the wine bottle passes through the sterilization machine, the internal temperature of the sterilization poplar is far from the extreme temperature of the plastic, which is easy to deform, and the high temperature resistance of the wine bottle can make up for this deficiency;

Fifth, although the plastic (structure: synthetic resin, plasticizer, stabilizer, colorant) bottle filling is not exposed to light, it has strong oxidation resistance, poor sealing, and it is easy to run out and cause deterioration. The glass bottle has strong airtightness and excellent chemical stability, and can maintain the taste of alcoholic products for a long time. This is an incomparable advantage of any type of container.
