Jaume Serra and Vidrala revolutionise the cava sector with CAVA LITE, the lightest bottle on the market
- Jaume Serra, a winery owned by the García Carrión Group, presents the new CAVA LITE bottle, weighing 750 grams and becoming the lightest in its segment.
- In terms of sustainability, for every million bottles produced, more than 15 tonnes of CO2 emissions will be avoided and over 740 tonnes of glass will be saved.
Madrid, 28 October 2025. Jaume Serra, a leading winery in the production of cava in Spain, is recognised for its commitment to innovation and sustainability. In line with these values, and in collaboration with Vidrala, a leading manufacturer of glass containers, it has developed the new CAVA LITE bottle for its range of cavas and sparkling wines. Weighing just 750 grams, this design sets a new record in its segment, reducing the previous benchmark of 775 grams.
Production of this new bottle will take place at Vidrala’s plant in Castellar del Vallès and will be delivered to the Jaume Serra winery, located just 65 kilometres away. This proximity reinforces the strategy of reducing the carbon footprint through efficient planning and logistics.
A lighter and more sustainable bottle
Manufactured in an elegant dark green colour, the new bottle represents a significant step forward in reducing emissions and using materials more efficiently, while at the same time ensuring the strength and quality required to guarantee product safety.
The new 750-gram bottle means a 6.25% reduction in CO2 emissions per bottle compared with the previous 800-gram format. This change translates into a major improvement on a large scale: each million bottles produced will reduce emissions by more than 15 tonnes of CO2 compared with the previous model, equivalent to the annual emissions of 232 petrol-powered cars.
Commitment to the environment
This development reaffirms the commitment of both companies to sustainability. It is the continuation of a historic collaboration in packaging innovation and lightweighting, which began in the 1970s with the development of a 300-gram wine bottle. Since then, García Carrión and Vidrala have been pioneers and benchmarks in the sector.
This new launch, the 750-gram cava bottle, not only improves the brand’s environmental impact, but also sets a precedent in the cava and sparkling wine industry, encouraging other players to follow this path.
With this initiative, Jaume Serra strengthens its leadership in the market and actively contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aligning with the demands of today’s consumers who value more responsible and sustainable products.
For Vidrala, the launch of this new bottle reinforces its long-term lightweighting strategy, initiated with the BD NOVA LITE and BD VIVA LITE bottles, progressively expanding this range of containers without compromising quality or strength. This approach enables the company to optimise resource use, reduce its carbon footprint and support the competitiveness of its customers.
