I love me some microbrewed plastiques.
Another Thing I can’t understand
and I’m to old to Try.
I live On Arrowhead Bottled Water.
“A French food safety agency study found that drinks in glass bottles contained more microplastic particles per liter than those in plastic bottles or cans.”
Well, that’s not going to bode well for their HUGE WINE IN GLASS BOTTLES INDUSTRY! Who didn’t pay the hush money to The French Mob, I wonder? ;)
As for me, it’s Vodka straight out of the recycled ‘Wine In A Box Bag’ from now on! I’m not taking any chances; safety FIRST!
*SMIRK*
P.S. We’re all going to die. From something. One way or another. Nobody gets out alive! Just sayin’...
Go back to metal caps, unpainted.
“The researchers traced the microplastics to the exterior paint on plastic-sealed caps, which released particles into the drink.”
Are US bottled beer caps of the same construction?
And cork seals
Don’t plastic bottles have...plastic caps?
Every coffee maker is plastic.
Just sayin’.
“Glass Bottles May Leak Up to 50 Times More Microplastics, Scientists Say”
Glass Bottles May Leak Up to 50 Times More Microplastics, DEI Scientists Say
There, fixed it
Yep, that's what I was going to type.
But then the environmentalists would be bewailing 'the rape of the cork trees'.
I like the plastics in my wine to have a bold, complex elegant aroma. With a crisp, oak, fruity, zesty finish.
If this is true, it has to be as a result of the caps.
Vacuum tubes form the 20’s and 30’s routinely work, which they could not do if their vacuums went to air, and there’s a helluva lot more pressure differential on a vacuum tube than on a bottle of soda at atmospheric pressure.
After breaking several glass coffee presses, I bought
an indestructible stainless-steel coffee press.
No more breakage, no plastic, just good coffee.
the French still full of sh*t, it seems
As usual, a sensational headline to hide the news. Glass bottles are good, cheap lids are not. Also, they must be talking about infinitesimally small amounts of contaminate.

Didn’t have that problem with the old fashioned cork seals.
