Queensland-based Sirromet believes it has become the first winery in Australia to release wine in a 750ml PET bottle for domestic consumption.rnSirromet's First Step range features a 2005 Cabernet Merlot and a 2008 Unwooded Chardonnay - both made entirely from grapes grown in Sirromet's Granite Belt vineyards. The wines retail for $12 per bottle.rn"In my view, the spread of PET bottles for wine will be as inevitable in this country as the spread of screwcaps over cork, but it will take time - and First Step is our way of testing consumer interest in buying wine that makes a statement about the importance of environmental responsibility through its packaging and production," said Sirromet's chief winemaker, Adam Chapman.
