The Packing Group’s Expertise in PET Wine Bottling

While glass bottling has historically been the core business of the Packing Group (Sobemab & 3S), our teams continue to demonstrate their industrial expertise by supporting even the most specialized projects. We now offer a comprehensive range of services dedicated to the packaging and bottling of wine in PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and rPET (recycled), meeting the precision requirements of the wine industry.

Rigorous control of the PET bottling process

Bottling in plastic containers requires specialist expertise to ensure product stability and preservation. The Packing Group applies rigorous industrial protocols to guarantee the integrity of your wines:

• Management of dissolved oxygen: A key technical parameter for preventing premature oxidation and maintaining the wine’s freshness.
• Systematic nitrogen flushing: This process protects the organoleptic qualities of the wines throughout the packaging cycle.
• Quality control: Regular tests ensure that every batch meets the highest standards.

Flexible production capacity: from airline-sized bottles to magnums

The production facilities at Sobemab and 3S have been designed to offer complete flexibility to producers and wine merchants. Our PET wine bottling service caters to a wide range of requirements:

• Variety of formats: We handle all volumes, from the 18.7 cl travel-sized bottle (aviation quart) up to the Magnum (150 cl).
• Bottle styles: Our production lines accommodate the industry’s traditional shapes, including Bordeaux and Burgundy bottles.
• Eco-responsible commitment (rPET): We process containers incorporating varying percentages of recycled plastic (25%, 30% or 50% rPET), enabling us to anticipate regulatory changes and sustainability criteria.

Expertise in closure systems: Aluminium and Novatwist

The safety and leak-tightness of packaging depend on the precise application of the closure. Across all our sites and mobile units, we offer closure solutions tailored to PET:

1. Aluminium caps: A standard solution proven for its reliability and leak-tightness.
2. Novatwist caps: A premium synthetic closure system with no visible threads, offering a modern aesthetic and secure handling.
