Question

Wine can be packed in transparent glass bottles.

(a) True

(b) False

I had been asked this question at a job interview.

This interesting question is from Food Packaging Materials topic in section Food Packaging Materials, Packaging Standards and Regulation Laws of Food Packaging Technology

Answer 1

Correct choice is (b) False

Best explanation: The given statement is false. Wine should always be packed in colored or tinted glass bottles (generally dark green/ brown). Exposure to sunlight makes it more susceptible to oxidation, hence resulting in a dull, flat, oxidized flavor.
