Automation is the Ultimate Space-Saver, Even In Shipping Wine Corks
 Corks are so light they float, but when shipped in bulk to wineries around the world, they tend to be big space-takers. In order to save energy and CO₂ emissions during transport, Portugal’s ESI (Engenharia, Soluções e Inovação) has developed a system for packaging corks that reduces packaging volume by 30% and dispenses with plastic bagging. Traditionally, sealing wines with oak corks creates a leak-proof barrier while still allowing the wine to "breathe" a little: Just enough ambient air can... Read More |
