Questions
What's actually different about the Second Skin case?
It's built from 99% paper with no plastic or glue, moulded precisely to the bottle's shape rather than boxed loosely — nine times lighter than Ruinart's previous gift box, cutting its carbon footprint by 60%.
Does the eco-packaging affect the champagne itself?
No — it's the same Blanc de Blancs Ruinart has made for centuries. The case's only job is protecting the bottle from light and transit damage, which it does as well as the box it replaced.
How long did Ruinart spend developing this?
Two years, working with paper specialists to solve the technical challenge of moulding recyclable cellulose fibre precisely around a champagne bottle without using glue or plastic.
