We found that the Original Earth Shipper will be an excellent choice (packaging made from cornstarch) if we can get it in time for shipping our wines later this year. They are presently setting up distribution in the Northeast. Since this type of packaging might be cost prohibitive, we are also considering pulp cardboard. We felt very strongly about NOT using styrofoam for shipping our wines. -AP Our boutique winery The Neighborhood Cellar in Massachusetts is considering packaging right now for our upcoming release.

There are just some things the world is better without. Styrofoam is one of them. The corporations that manufacture styrofoam should be ashamed of themselves. How do the people who run these companies get up in the morning and look themselves in the mirror? They are people of death, they kill living things with their styrofoam. And they know it. But they do it anyway, because they have no soul and no conscience. Why have they not been stopped? It’s time to stop the manufacture of white styrofoam.

However we would be more than happy to re-use someone's styrofoam shipper and I'm sure most other retailers would too. I work in a wine store that ships using cardboard.

I use the shipping containers from The Spirited Shipper, www.spiritedshipper.com, which are relatively inexpensive (certainly by comparison to styrofoam), and work great. I even used them to ship my wine collection from New York to Buenos Aires when I moved here - all arrived safely!
