[**Ardagh Glass Packaging Europe**](https://www.ardaghgroup.com/glass/europe/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) **(AGP Europe) has launched a new 300g lightweight glass wine bottle, seeking to combine ‘ultra-lightweight design’ with high strength and premium shelf appeal.**

AGP Europe says the new bottle aims to deliver on three fronts: material reduction, structural performance, and brand presentation. The 300g 75cl bottle - said to be ideal for still wines - is designed to perform on high-speed filling lines, withstand supply chain handling, and maintain the visual appeal expected of glass packaging while delivering a significant reduction in bottle weight.

“This is more than a lightweight bottle, it’s a complete packaging solution,” said Nick Witton, sales director at Ardagh Glass Packaging UK. “We’ve developed a 300g bottle that also delivers the strength and premium look that brands and consumers demand.”

AGP Europe recently [announced plans](https://packagingeurope.com/news/agp-europe-seeks-to-reduce-co2-impact-of-j%C3%A4germeister-bottles/13082.articlehttps:/packagingeurope.com/news/agp-europe-seeks-to-reduce-co2-impact-of-j%C3%A4germeister-bottles/13082.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) to produce the ‘world’s first’ emerald green bottles from its NextGen Furnace for [Jägermeister](http://www.jagermeister.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io). AGP Europe’s NextGen Furnace in Obernkirchen, Germany features hybrid technology that uses 42 electrodes said to enable up to 80% electrical heating.
