I think this neglects a major reason why most people buy a bottle of wine. It's reinventing boxed wine and it isn't a coincidence that only the cheapest wine usually comes in boxes.
We said the same thing about corks.
NZ (and Australia?) doesn’t really do corks any more. For sparkling wines, yes. But I’ve not touched my bottle opener in years.
We also sell (some?) wines in PET bottles, but they’re usually single serve/hotel-minibar bottles so not mainstream.
If there’s a cost incentive to the winery, and no impact of quality to their product, I think they’ll slowly push for a change.
But first, they’ve got to ascertain it won’t affect the product.
