JGC Introduces Spain's #1 Selling Table Wine, Don Simon Class in PET
Packaging, to the U.S. Market

MIAMI, April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- J. Garcia-Carrion (JGC), producer of
Cristalino Cava, introduces Don Simon Class -- Spain's reigning table wine and
best selling Spanish wine in the world -- to the U.S. Market. Uniquely
packaged in light-weight recyclable premium non-glass PET (polyethylene
terephthalate) bottles, Don Simon Class is now the most environmentally
friendly packaged wine to be sold in the U.S. 

Don Simon's innovative PET containers boast the benefit of having a greener
carbon footprint than regular glass containers by producing 50% - 60% fewer
greenhouse emissions, consuming less energy, generating less solid waste, and
weighing 30% less. Additionally, the screw caps prevent cork taint, ensuring
consistency in taste. The aseptic green packaging is easier on the
environment, does not compromise the quality or flavor profile of the wine,
and promises to be the newest trend. 

"As producers and global distributors of consumer goods, we have an
environmental responsibility to prevent waste of potentially useful materials
while helping reduce pollution," stated Jose Garcia-Carrion Jordan. "By using
eco-friendly non-glass bottles, we hope to promote environmental consciousness
and bring our customers a product they can feel good about enjoying."

Produced by the top wine company in Spain, J. Garcia-Carrion (JGC), a
family-owned business with over 100 years of tradition in wine production, Don
Simon Class wines are developed in Daimiel in the region of Castilla-La Mancha
-- the largest vineyard in the world with 600,000 hectares (more vineyards
than Australia and Chile combined). The emerging area provides excellent wines
at reasonable prices to compete against New World Wines. 

The Daimiel plant, where Don Simon Class is produced and packaged, is a
state-of-the-art production facility that uses the newest techniques of
tangential filtration and sterile micro filtration and is equipped with the
latest technology such as ultra-modern stainless macrotanks for fermentation.
It is the most efficient plant in Europe. The entire winemaking process at the
facility is completely automatic, which enables it to produce 800 million
units of wine and juice a year (1 million units per employee); including red
and white Don Simon Class varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet-Merlot,
Merlot, and Chardonnay.

Don Simon wines are sold worldwide in more than 120 countries.
