Transparency in closures: a necessity for sustainable wine

The plastic stopper, often sidelined in sustainability discussions around wine, raises crucial questions about transparency and truthfulness in labeling. Including the stopper type on wine labels could illuminate what consumers are actually buying - cutting through the greenwashed narratives that dominate the industry. Whether cork, aluminum or plastic, the stopper carries serious environmental implications, and the material choice deserves to be stated outright. By embracing this level of transparency, producers can build a more genuine relationship with their consumers - reinforcing the wine sector’s ecological commitments with actual consistency.

WCM, EFQM and ISO: It’s time to question everything

🏆 Industrial excellence? A trophy, a photo, a story. (WCM. EFQM. ISO.) Labels that validate the narrative, not the experience. What they measure: compliance. What they ignore: wear, reality, silences. No human evaluation. No lived transformation. Just a mirror held up to the public. A trophy changes nothing. It just looks pretty on the mantel.

Vinventions : Innovation Écologique ou Illusion ?

Vinventions, le grand manitou des bouchons plastiques, nous régale d'un récit où le plastique est le nouvel héros écolo. Ils nous promettent des produits "recyclables" et "carbone neutre", tout en nous parlant de leur Green Line, qui, spoiler alert, finit souvent plus dans l'incinérateur que dans un bac de recyclage. Comme une étoile de cinéma, elle brille, mais l'éclat masque une réalité peu reluisante. En somme, avec la neutralité carbone qui reste dans le flou artistique et des tests de durabilité invisibles, on se demande si leurs bouchons ne sont pas surtout là pour flatter notre conscience... ou notre vin !
