It is well known that beer should be bottled in coloured bottles – there might be differences between brown and green, but both reduce exposure to light. The brewery industry konws this very well, so it is particularly strange that they often use clear glass bottles for summer seasonals.
I looks like white wine is the latest victim of similar packaging. Researchers from Italy and Greece have studied wine in clear glass bottles compared to coloured bottles. It took only one week under supermarket light for wine to lose a signficant part of its aroma, the same wine kept for months in coluored bottles.
