5000BC-KwevriA Georgian clay jar.Were burried in the ground with a protruding
neck.Stored wine during fermentation (Vinosseur,
2010). Approximately 200L (Kurtiashvili , & Rose,
2006)

4800BC- AmphoraMade from clay. Characterised by their narrow
neck and two handles (Amphora, 2011).
Used to store wineUsed to transport wine. Were placed closely on ships
with rope through the handles to hold them together (Amphora, 2011).

350BC-BarrelsMade from rounded (moulded) oakCould be rolled and stackedUsed from fermentation through to transportMost convenient form of transportation until
the 19th century.
Oak wine barrels (Myrddin Barrel Club, n.d)

1600AD- Glass BottlesInitially used for wine to be immediately
consumed.1600AD Pigmented glass added weight. Became used to store wine with a cork
stopper. 1800ADCylindrical bottles were then made
for easier storage (McAdams, 2006).

Transporting environmentWine is perishable, for long life transporting
conditions must be maintainedIdeal temperature must be maintained
13-16°CHumidity should remain constant
70%Wine movement should be minimalClimate controlled containers used for
transporting to minimise fluctuations in environment

ISO Tank containersFood grade tanks transport wine
internationally on ships. Ullage must be left in tanks.Wine must be stable before transportation to
reduce risk of oxidation.20,000L of wine per ISO
tank
Tank containers (Tank container logistics, 2011)

FlexitanksBladders that line the inside of containersUsed once to reduce contamination.Recyclable plastic24,000L of wine per flexitank
