Barokes and French filler, Cacolac S.A.S, have signed an agreement
appointing Cacolac to fill wine in a can to Vinsafe (wine in a can) specifications
in Bordeaux.
Based in Léognan, just south of Bordeaux, Cacolac is recognised as a filler of quality
products. Cacolac's decision to work with Vinsafe is strategically based given its
location within one of France's premium wine growing regions. Cacolac Director,
Christian Maviel, stated "we are surrounded by premium wine producers looking to
access new international markets and consumers with their wines and after much
investigation we decided that the only viable option is Vinsafe. We would not
risk filling wine for brand owners with centuries of winemaking history behind
them without the use of the globally patented Vinsafe wine packaging system and
the comprehensive support which is provided to us by Barokes".
