European food packaging overview (3)

Glass, ceramics, and glass products have the largest number of wine bottles. In Germany, there are more than 2,200 glass beer mugs.
In Europe, the application of glass materials has a long history, and the German beer mug has become an art work. In different occasions, various types of beer are used for drinking various kinds of exquisite glassware, which makes people enjoy a spiritual diet. The safety factor of foreign beer bottles is relatively large. A beer bottle that has been used for the past two years, under a pressure of 1.2 MPa, performs 3 times of shocks up to 2 minutes without being broken, and the impact test has done 6 times. After breaking, the bottle was broken with a hammer and found to be even and thick. According to professionals, beer bottles are also used repeatedly in Europe. If the glass bottles are hit and scratched during use, their strength will be greatly reduced. Therefore, the transport of bottled beer should be handled with care and transported in a plastic container. In the box, whether in supermarkets or restaurants, the beer should be stored at a low temperature as much as possible to ensure the safety without affecting the flavor of the wine. After the iced and refrigerated beer is taken out, the stopper should be opened immediately to prevent a large amount. The temperature difference causes an explosion and uses the correct opening tool. In Germany and Hungary, glass beer bottles are strictly in line with their national standards. The products of various companies never mix, fundamentally eliminating the beer bottle explosion accident, and greatly reducing the hazards of glass packaging materials to human life.
European ceramic food packaging materials have a long history. According to data, the Greeks used pottery to hold wine 1,500 BC. The ancient Romans developed a type of wine packaging that had been circulating for a long time: the neck flask, which should be the original model of the current bottle. As a material for food packaging and containers, ceramics have a long cultural and historical background in Europe. The production process also incorporates human wisdom and ethnic style. Ceramics have high temperature resistance and high pressure, good stability to acids and salts, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and good light and air tightness. Ceramic materials are most suitable for wine packing, and the longer the wines are packed with ceramics, the more mellow and fragrant the wine. The Germans believe that ceramics as a food packaging material, its most valuable and attractive is its aesthetic function, so the design and manufacture of ceramic packaging materials, like the art, many food packaging designers, manufacturers have injected the artistic content into Ceramic materials, because in all food packaging materials, ceramic materials are the most incisive materials for cultural and artistic expression.
