United Airlines has made the onboard switch from mini plastic wine bottles to canned wines as consumer demand for canned wine grows.
This transition to aluminum canned wine will reduce the use of single-use plastic bottles by an estimated 4.7 million bottles per year.
Aluminum is nearly infinitely recyclable and supports United’s commitment to sustainability at all altitudes, including recycling onboard its aircraft.
The move coincides with United boosting its onboard wine offering for economy class passengers, with the introduction of two new brands Just Enough Wines and Maker Wine.
