Papsak to be canned by July next year

The papsak (foil bag) and plastic containers that cheap, low-quality wine is sold in will be banned from July next year in an attempt to curb alcohol abuse. This was announced on Tuesday by Johan van Rooyen, the chief executive of the SA Wine and Brandy Company (SAWB). About 48 million litres of wine is sold in papsakke on the local market, representing almost 17 percent of sales. – Business Report
