RIDGE Packaging Earns “People’s Choice” in the PACK Design Awards

Wine Business

August 2024

Our new eco-friendly Monte Bello box has been nominated for a “PACK Design Award,” a competition hosted by Wine Business Monthly, in alternative packaging. We’re thrilled to announce that RIDGE won the “People’s Choice” award and took home bronze with a third-place win from the judges.

Last year, we transitioned away from using wooden boxes in our Monte Bello program for wholesale and export, aiming to adopt a more sustainable (yet still luxurious) approach.

We introduced an alternative 3-bottle packaging made from 100% recycled paper, water-based ink, and green cell foam packing materials. This innovative foam product is a natural, environmentally friendly option made from corn that dissolves in water.

These two awards are proof that the industry can incorporate sustainable practices into fine wine without sacrificing quality. Did you know that twenty percent of a winery’s GHG emissions come from packaging? By switching to lightweight glass and eco-friendly packaging, Ridge Vineyards is tackling the largest hurdle we have in the industry. Read more about the ways we’re tackling responsible packaging.
